This tour was so incredible and surreal! I would highly recommend booking the tour! What an amazing experience!
Had a great tour with Arelane (hope I got the spelling). She was very informative, funny, gave great background about Pearl Harbor and the sites we were about to see. Very clear about where we needed to go and where to meet. Overall help make it a great tour. For me the highlight of the visit was Mighty Moe. What a great battleship with a stellar history. We were also fortunate to get a great guide for that tour as well who is with the national Park service.
The boarding times can vary. I booked a pickup at the pier for 8:30am. Much to my surprise they switched my pickup time to 7:20am. The entire ordeal was nerve racking because I had to make sure to be first in line to get off the ship. Fortunately I made it at 7:30am. The tour itself was costly and not worth it! I wouldn’t recommend this company. They were very rude when I tried to change my pickup time and I even got hung up on by a very rude guy! This was a very poor experience. Be careful and know the boat to the Arizona Memorial can be cancelled in little to no notice because of weather. The boat was closed down because of high winds. They did open it back up 15 minutes before departure. Overall I would never book this tour with this company again!
Truly an exemplified and humbling experience!! Art was a great tour guide with humor. GOD BLESS THE USA AND HER TROOPS!! 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
This tour was an amazing way to experience Pearl Harbor for the first time! We visited on July 3rd, so it was a very busy day, but everything was well organized and made the experience easy and enjoyable. Our driver was fantastic! She (Roro) was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable about the island, and did a great job explaining where to go, where to meet, and what to expect throughout the day. It was so nice not having to worry about parking or navigating traffic—we were able to relax and focus on taking in this incredible, historic place. The only thing I wished for was a little more time at each stop. At the USS Arizona Memorial, there are exhibits and a short film before you board the boat, and I would have loved more time to fully experience everything. I felt the same way about the USS Missouri—it was such an amazing ship, and I could have easily spent another hour exploring. Even with that, this tour was absolutely worth it. For anyone visiting Pearl Harbor for the first time, I highly recommend it. It takes the stress out of planning and helps you make the most of your visit. Now that I know the layout, I'd probably explore on my own next time, but I'm so glad this was my first Pearl Harbor experience. It was a wonderful day, and I highly recommend this tour!
Karma tours is the best. Our guide had all the insider suggestions that made our day run so smoothly. Would definitely recommend!!
Great experience. Wear good shoes and appropriate clothes on the Missouri. Lots of stairs in which you have to climb down backwards. The deck is windy so watch your hat choice and bring a water bottle with a strap for ease.
Tour was informative and well organized. Enjoyed our driver, Sam. We chose the Ala Moana hotel for a pickup location. If you’re driving, there is a pay-to-park garage next to the hotel.
Amazingly humble experience, and a great learning experience for our daughter. Fantastic tour with an amazing guide.
Amazing experience. From beginning to end amazing service. The tour guide was absolutely kind and very informative. Very punctual and maintained schedule the entire tour.
