Traveler reviews
Pearl Harbor & Mini Oahu Island Tour with extra stops
Our tour guide Will Chye was very knowledgeable on the WWII history and Pearl Harbor background. He provided us with lots of interesting Oahu facts. Will helped us navigate Pearl Harbor including advise on getting the boat ferry tickets and the air raid VR experience ($11 highly recommend). Lunch was a delicious Huli huli chicken and garlic shrimp at outdoor food truck next to a 7-11 store (you can get drinks or even food at 7-11 in addition to the scrumptious lunch). Due to ongoing road repairs on the north side, Will adjusted the return travel to the east coast to prevent sitting in roadwork delays. We saw sights on the east coast that were beautiful including monk seals, turtles, and scenic views. Will was a great bus driver and tour guide. He made the trip informative and entertaining while providing us a unique day trip. I highly recommend this tour and Will if you’re lucky to have him.

A day at Pearl Harbor
Full day at Pearl Harbor. Could’ve used even more time. Well, my guide was excellent. Good historical information and site visitation suggestions
Best tour I've ever been on! Beautiful Hawaii Oahu
To start out the day I admit I was a little disappointed that the PCC was closed today. I thought we would just be doing a short tour. Our guide said we would be back at 6:00pm we were going around the Island. Our tour guide was Summer! She was one Fantastic guide! She went above and beyond in everything she did from the pick up to drop off! Summer was 100% the best guide ever. She gave us an amazing history of the island I learned so much! She took pictures of us. Took us to all the places that you wouldn't know to go unless you were a local! She brought us drinks, gave us a way to contact her, bought us calendars and postcards and flags, she even bought us each a malasala which was the best donut I'd ever had! 100 times over I would reccomend this tour but make sure you ask for Summer if you want to find out so much history about Hawaii Oahu and you want to feel like you are part of her family!
