Best Pearl Harbor Tour Experience

This was an amazing experience! We learned a lot of things we never knew before. Will was so knowledgeable and we had so much fun on his tour. He went above and beyond, driving us around Honolulu and showing us some other sites beyond Pearl Harbor, including stopping at Waikiki Beach. We were picked up in a timely manner, with plenty of info and instructions for what to see, where to go, must-see areas, etc. etc. 10/10 would recommend!

Brian was a wonderful easy going guide. He let us dictate the tour and kept us well-fed. My son was on crutches and he went out of his way to get a wheelchair for us while we were visiting Pearl Harbor. It definitely made the tour much more enjoyable for him!

What an amazing day.

Our day started with Will picking us up at the airport, right on time. We had a small group of 5 for a private island tour that started at Pearl Harbor. The stops suggested were all spot on and exactly what we were looking for. We were most excited about how knowledgeable and friendly our guide (Will) was. Such a pleasure to talk with and get to know. Thanks Will- we had a great time and will be back next year for the large island circle tour. The Kentucky Gang!!!!

Operator response

Aloha to the Kentucky Gang! 🐎🌺 Mahalo for the fantastic review! We are so glad Will kicked off your trip right on time and curated the perfect private tour for your group. It’s wonderful to hear that his knowledge and friendly personality made Pearl Harbor and the rest of your stops so memorable. We’ll be sure to pass your thanks along to him! We can't wait to welcome the whole gang back next year for that full island circle tour.
