Traveler reviews
Amazing Pearl Harbor experience
We were supposed to take our tour on Friday, but due to the storm, we had to reschedule. Aloha Sunshine tours did a great job working to make sure we were able to get to Pearl Harbor before we went home, and Will, our guide, did an awesome job with our tour. Will was friendly, accommodating and full of knowledge. He made our trip fun and interesting!
Great tour, but stuck at Airport for 3 hours
Wonderful tour with Will. He added the right amount of humor and knowledge to make the whole day a great experience. Only disappointing part was the flight back to Maui. The tour operator told me they booked the last flight of the day back to Maui just incase of tour delays, and if you get to the airport early, you can get on a earlier flight, but when I got to the airport, there was only one flight to Maui. Makes for a long day. 6am flight to Honolulu, and 8:45pm flight back.
Awesome excursion and tour guide/driver . I would do this tour again
Started out a little rough with driver stuck in traffic but he arrived - explained how to navigate getting through all the exhibits in a certain order that saved the day! We got through all that was promised - gorge ( forgive spelling if not correct) our driver and tour guide- was great - so even if you get out of order in your plans be patient it will turn out great! I promise 10/10 - all tickets were included in this tour which was helpful! Also as we drove he shared many historical highlights ..
Summer was a fabulous guide!
We had a great experience with this tour company and our amazing guide, Summer! There was plenty of communication from where and when we would be picked up from the airport and when, where, and what was on the itinerary. Summer was incredibly communicative and informative at the beginning to tell us about our itinerary and how to move through the different sights. Then after the Pearl Harbor tour, we learned A LOT from Summer about the kingdom of Hawaii and its history, including a stop at a small museum inside the government building (which was really well done). Summer was incredibly informative, kind, and very personable. Anyone who has Summer as their guide should consider themselves very lucky!
So worth the money!
Summer was such a great helper. Summer answered our questions and kept us on the right path all day long. Totally worth the money.
