AMA delivered a fabulous tour from getting us to the USS Arizona Memorial with tickets while giving us an informative tour from a native born Hawaiian perspective. Then on to a Honolulu city tour with a great personal touch. We were extremely pleased. We asked to be dropped off at Wakiki vBeach and Ama directed us to a great place, Dukes for lunch and then we went to the beach and later did more exploring/ shoppingh

We had a very enjoyable tour from our cruise ship with Eva our wonderful driver. She got us to the Arizona memorial center as quickly as she could. Afterwards she took us to the punch bowl and then Chinatown for a quick shopping stop. After taking us through the historic district and the financial district she brought us back to the cruise ship. If you are thinking of doing this tour ask for tickets to the Arizona at the earliest 10 AM because customs and immigration take a while to clear your cruise ship.

Wonderful day! Our driver and guide, Eva, picked us up right on time in a clean, comfortable and air conditioned sprinter van. She spent the next couple of hours driving us around the island and showing us various sites, as well as telling us the history of the islands. We were amazed with her level of knowledge, and we all learned a lot. We then went to Pearl Harbor and had a seamless experience using our tickets and Eva’s instructions to board the boat to the USS Arizona Memorial, which was an incredible, solemn, and meaningful experience.
After our Pearl Harbor tour, we drove around to a few more scenic spots and were dropped back at our hotel. Eva even gave us some great restaurants recommendations for dinner. We loved our tour and would do it again in a heartbeat!

Our tour guide Ama from Spiritual Tours Hawai’i was awesome!!! He was above and beyond, very knowledgeable, accommodating and super friendly! We loved his stories of the Hawaiian Islands and their history.
I wish we had enough time for him to give us another local tour. We highly recommend taking this tour with Spiritual Tours Hawai’i.
