Pearl Harbor & pollination Center was wonderful.
However, our driver was not knowledgeable of area or questions asked. He was in a hurry to get us back to our hotel, complaining of traffic.

Oz was great! We took an UBER from our Hampton Inn Kapolei at 5:30 am to get to the office. The storm was not too bad. Pearl Harbor was great. Oz's tip about the movie was right on! Early start and Pearl was easy. North coast was fun. Ate at "Da Bald Guy" food truck food was great and Oz picked up the tab. Pouring rain made it more memorable. Go to the Polynesian CC just as it opened. rain was heavy now but running from hut to hut was fun. We saw presentations from: Samoa, Fiji, Tahiti and Hawaii. By 4 pm we were though ally thrilled and soaked!!!

My wife and I booked a Jan 8th tour. Ozzy was our great guide. The day was pouring rain but we had a wonderful time Arizona first stop. Oz made sure we was the movie first. Then drive to the north coast. We stopped at a food truck spot. He recommended "Da Bald Guy." Fantastic local food and atmosphere!!! The on to the Polynesian Cultural Center. We arrived just before it opens at 12:30. Oz oriented us and off we went. Started with Samoa then Fiji the Tahiti and finished with Hawaii!!!! The rain stopped when we left the PCC at 4 pm. Saw waterfalls on the way back due to the rain. We followed a pickup for a while that had 2 dead wild boars in the back on display, Master Card PRICELESS moment. I was short on cash so I thjink my tip was not as much as it should be. Mahalo

Polynesian Cultural Crnter a must see. Great experience, Kap at the Somoa Village was a hoot. Could not stop laughing. Despite the dreary rainy day all was forgotten with this excursion. Had 5 people on our Tour, our Driver and Guide “Pe” was terrific and shared much of the local island history and background of the areas we traveled as we circled the entire island. Pearl Harbor was somber but something not to miss. The tour also provided a fabulous lunch at Pounder’s Restaurant at the cultural center. Although excursion appeared to be expensive, it was worth every penny.

This was probably one of my fave tours as well! It included Pearl Harbor, USS Arizona Memorial -which I understand we were quite lucky to actually have access to a boat to be able to visit as admission is not always guaranteed. The last part was the afternoon tour at The Polynesian Cultural Center for lunch at Pounder's and an opportunity to tour the different villages for their main shows and their offered interactive activities. We were able to watch 3 main shows and participate in some activities between shows. The day was well timed, although I honestly could have spent a day alone at the Polynesian Center! Keaton, our driver and guide, was punctual, very friendly and approachable, and I appreciated his youthful perspective with regards to Hawaii's history and it was fun to learn some Hawaiian slang 😉. I would highly recommend this tour! Mahalo nui loa! 🤙🏽
