The movie explaining how things transpired into war also going to the Arizona and paying our respects to all the men who died

Chad_H

It was extremely disappointing to pay $1700 to see this and get there only to Be told it was closed to see due to high winds. We were told this happens often and the wind and waves were marginal at best.

Mark_L

Loved it. Our guide was great. Very knowledgeable. Worth your time and money. I would have regretted not doing this.

NoahandBen

Our tour guide (Garfield) was amazing. We learned so much from him. Seeing the Missouri and then the USS Arizona was beyond belief. It is our first trip to HI and were not sure it was worth the high cost to do this tour. It WAS worth it. We would regret it if we missed it. Polynesian made it easy. I wish they had better communication on flights but it was still easy. You can figure out a cheaper way but I would rather pay the extra and not have to plan, etc.

Heather_W

We had an incredible time. This was a big deal for my husband and he was so happy. If I had it to do over again, I might opt to book our own flights and just get the tour part. It was very expensive to include the flights.

Charles_H

Only two hours to inspect the Missouri including two ten minutes walks to and from the buss and time to eat. Way too short. 1-1/2 hours dropping people off at motels. Not what I paid for. Agreed to a price and paid that price only to receive a phone call from Polynesian Adventure tours stating that we had to pay an additional $228.00 additional as an overage fee. No explanation of what the overage fee was. Would have cancelled at that time but there is a no cancellation policy. The driver (Mike)was very good and knowledgeable. Other passengers paid more than us and we're VERY disappointed as well. Doing rough math I calculated that Viator and Polynesian Adventure Tours shared around $45,000 qfor our three hour tour. I feel that I was extremely taken advantage of and will not be back to Hawaii. I had several other events that I was going to schedule but found that they all had to be booked through Viator. I will not be cheated twice!!!

the whole trip was a great experience the guide was very knowledgeable loved the day Everyone need to see that at least once.

Chris & Chris tried very hard to make it an interesting & memorable trip. More time at Pearl Harbor to read everything & watch the movie. Stop at Waikiki Beach for an hour to get our feet wet in the ocean. Traffic was terrible & Chris did a great job!

Tammie_H

Absolutely amazing and beautiful. It makes a difference when you have a fun and hilarious tour guide. Ernie. Hands down the best.

Brenda R

Tour of Pearl Harbor was very educational, with sunken ship and submarine to up close. I learned a lot seeing the museum photos and watching the short "movie" about Pearl Harbor attack. Plenty of gift shops and food venders. There was a veteran at one of the gift shops autographing books that had just been released.
