Traveler reviews
Hawaii Tour with Darcy to Pearl Harbor, the Polynesian Center and the Dole Pineapple Plantation!!
Darcy was amazing!! He gave us so much information about Hawaii and was a wonderful tour guide
Overall great experience
I wish we had done this from the very first day—our drive was incredible. Summer was not only super friendly and funny but also incredibly knowledgeable, making the experience even more memorable.
Too much to do in a day.
The activities were great. The time spent was not very well adjusted. The itinerary stated 2 hours at Pearl harbor with an hour at the memorial. We had 2 hours total. More time was needed. We expected an hour at the Dole plantation we only got 30 minutes. Although that was explained after it would have been better to have known about that in the beginning. We did get 3 hours at PCC which was expected. We paid extra for the fuel increase over what was stated and felt like we were shorted on time. Our guide Summer was fantastic. She gave us very insightful information. She was also jovial and fun. She made the tour so much fun.
Summer is amazing!
We had such a great experience this summer! She was an amazing guide and made the tour so enjoyable from start to finish. You can truly tell how much she knows about Hawaii, its history, and culture. She made everything feel real and meaningful, not just like a regular tour. Her energy, stories, and knowledge made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!
Great experience
Poppa P was great!!!!! He was the best tour guide!!! He explained everything in great detail!!!! If you decide to take a tour when you visit Hawaii, I recommend Aloha Sunshine Tours!!!!!
