We purchased the Hero's Tour which included the Arizona Memorial We purchased the Hero's Tour which included the Arizona Memorial, The USS Bowfin Submarine, The Aviation Museum and the USS Missouri. Our Tour driver Rongo was very knowledgeable and kept the ride to the Memorial interesting and informative, from the cities history to the history of Pearl Harbour. The only draw back was it would have been nice to have more time at the Bowfin Museum and on the USS Missouri, but there were 3 parties that had to get back to the airport for their return flight back to another island. To compensate we were taken downtown to the palace for some photos. Our day started at 7:20 and ended about 5:00, lunch was available to purchase at the Bowfin Museum, some great pictures and memories. |

We booked 3 tours through
We booked 3 tours through this Tour company. Deluxe Island Circle Tour, Pearl Harbour Heros. and a flight and package for a tour of Kauai. A great guide and driver can truly enhance your travel experience and the knowledge, and professionalism of Kimo and Ernel was definitely worth the extra money you spend instead of doing it yourself. I think it truly helps to hire locals who have life experience and were either born in Hawaii or who have lived there most of their lives. I would absolutely recommend all three tours and this company, but especially these two guides. Nothing wrong with our third guide but much younger and not a local, and you could tell the difference.
VIP Tours Thank you so much
VIP Tours
Thank you so much for setting up the VIP tours of the Missouri and the Pacific Aviation Museum for my family. It was truly an experience that they will never forget. They were so impressed with Nicky who toured them through the Aviation Museum, her knowledge was amazing and they said she was absolutely fabulous. David, who toured them through the Missouri, was extremely knowledgeable as well and not one area seemed to go unexplored during their tour! They were very grateful to see all the “behind” the scenes action and David was apparently very patient with their many questions and diligently answered all of them. Again, they cannot stop talking about their great experience in visiting Pearl Harbor last Thursday and the VIP tours are very much appreciated! I know they will return home and tell everyone heading this way that this is a “must-do” when visiting Oahu.
