This tour was an amazing way to experience Pearl Harbor for the first time! We visited on July 3rd, so it was a very busy day, but everything was well organized and made the experience easy and enjoyable. Our driver was fantastic! She (Roro) was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable about the island, and did a great job explaining where to go, where to meet, and what to expect throughout the day. It was so nice not having to worry about parking or navigating traffic—we were able to relax and focus on taking in this incredible, historic place. The only thing I wished for was a little more time at each stop. At the USS Arizona Memorial, there are exhibits and a short film before you board the boat, and I would have loved more time to fully experience everything. I felt the same way about the USS Missouri—it was such an amazing ship, and I could have easily spent another hour exploring. Even with that, this tour was absolutely worth it. For anyone visiting Pearl Harbor for the first time, I highly recommend it. It takes the stress out of planning and helps you make the most of your visit. Now that I know the layout, I'd probably explore on my own next time, but I'm so glad this was my first Pearl Harbor experience. It was a wonderful day, and I highly recommend this tour!
Karma tours is the best. Our guide had all the insider suggestions that made our day run so smoothly. Would definitely recommend!!
Great experience. Wear good shoes and appropriate clothes on the Missouri. Lots of stairs in which you have to climb down backwards. The deck is windy so watch your hat choice and bring a water bottle with a strap for ease.
Tour was informative and well organized. Enjoyed our driver, Sam. We chose the Ala Moana hotel for a pickup location. If you’re driving, there is a pay-to-park garage next to the hotel.
Amazingly humble experience, and a great learning experience for our daughter. Fantastic tour with an amazing guide.
Amazing experience. From beginning to end amazing service. The tour guide was absolutely kind and very informative. Very punctual and maintained schedule the entire tour.
Loved it, very emotional. Staff was kind, respectful and informative. Would have liked a little more time to explore visitor’s center before the boat ride over.
Really interesting to see evidence and hear about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Fantastic guide Ariel who was fun and informative. Can recommend
Lots of walking. Wear comfortable shoes and so much to see. We should have made it a two day event. Very solem to see how history played out and the sacrifices that went into it.
This experience was amazing. Not only the experience of Pearl Harbor itself, seeing the USS AZ & the Mighty MO but our tour guide Arlaine was amazing. She was informative & funny!
