Didn’t even get to Pearl Harbour as our tour bus FAILED to turn up causing us to miss our only chance to do this apic trip (one of the reasons) for this cruise and we leave this evening. SO DISAPPOINTED WITH TRIPADVISOR AND TOUR COMPANY

I had a terrible experience with the Polynesian Adventure Tours. Almost wasn't able to fly to or from Honolulu. They messed up our flights coming and going. Had trouble with the tour guide on our bus. He had people roaming all over the place where they were supposed to only drop off their bags. The rest of us sat on the bus for over 45 minutes while we waiting for the people to be found and come back to the bus. There was not enough time to view the Missouri and eat our lunch. Had to grab lunch and take it back to the bus to eat after the Arizona exhibit. The tour itself was a wonderful experience - but I do not recommend Polynesian Adventures!!!!

Communication up to and during was excellent, could not have been better. Uncle Mike, the Tory bus driver, was friendly, informative and funny and made the experience even better.

Highly recommend this tour. Full of great information on the island and places to go on your own. Lunch was amazing at the bakery. If you are lucky enough to get the driver Calvin, he’s a ND fan, he is a great driver and super friendly. If you get the tour guide Kama, you will have an amazing tour. He is funny, knowledgeable, and so patient. He knows a lot of history on out Hawaiian culture and so much history about the island and the volcanoes. You can’t go wrong with this your.

The Arizona memorial and the battleship Missouri were breathtaking. They are so inspirational. The education value of the memorial was of the highest quality.. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The narrators on the Missouri were quick to assess and find remedies for physical limitations. The narrators ability to convey vast amounts of information was outstanding. It was an unforgettable experience. The extra information shared by our tour guide was was an exceptional bonus that made the trip even more memorable.

The Arizona monument was sobering & is an important site to visit. Sad that we didn’t have the time to visit the submarine exhibit. Visiting the Missouri battleship was interesting. Wish the weather had been better.

The Arizona was a beautiful memoriall, sad. We like boarding the Missouri and checking it over. We enjoyed the drive tour of Honolulu and the many stops. Was hoping to go to a shop for purchases. Ernie was great, knowledgeable and funny.

Very well organized, friendly people. Mind blowing to see how life in military can be 🙏 to all those lost and the families that endured this loss.

Flight back to kona should have booked for the 6:00 instead of the 8:00 flight. We were at airport at 430

Lisa_R

The tour guide was great. He was accommodating to people that needed to leave early and dropped us off at a different spot so we could get more sightseeing in. I learned a lot and have a renewed respect for all who serve this country.
