Review of E Noa’s Pearl Harbor tour from Waikiki, including the USS Arizona Memorial, guide commentary, pickup, timing, and ticket cautions.

“Pick up was right on time. RJ was a great guide. He provided lots of information about Pearl Harbor and the Arizona on the way to the site. He was enthusiastic, very organized, and his suggestions and directions were very clear. He had even more stories to tell on the way back. Once we arrived, we could go the areas that interested us the most. Having guaranteed tickets for the Arizona was a plus. My only suggestion is to lower the volume of the sound system.”

See Oahu’s top sights, taste local treats, and snorkel near green sea turtles on this 8-hour small-group circle island tour from Waikiki.

“Our tour was 9/13 with guide Nevin and driver John. Nevin was exceptional! We learned so much about the land, culture and history of each stop and more! The highlight was snorkeling with the sea turtles! Our lifeguard was perfect and me as a 1st-timer, I felt like a pro with his guidance! He was so laid back yet made sure we were safe 1st and they made certain we all got a chance to see the turtles. This was definitely the best part of our entire trip. I love that we had the smaller group too (it’s not a giant tour bus). Highly recommend this tour!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,866 reviews · 5 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $94

Review of Honolulu’s Pearl Harbor and USS Arizona tour, with city sights, optional Missouri and Aviation Museum visits, costs, tips, and drawbacks.

“I was disappointed to not get tickets to the Arizona memorial with the trip as the advertising is very misleading. The trip needs to be clearer about having to get your tickets before you arrive or you are in the standby line. We did manage to get to see everything we wanted and it was a full day, we arrived at 9, went on the standby list at 9:15am and got on the 11:30am boat. We managed to see everything but the bowfin sub and came back to that after the Missouri and aircraft museum. We did rush through the aircraft hanger so if you want to take more time…”

Review of E Noa’s Pearl Harbor City Tour, with historic Honolulu, the USS Arizona Memorial, guide quality, costs, and practical tips.

“Juicy the driver kept us entertained and informed. We were first pickup at the Aloha tower so enjoyed a 45 minute tour of Honolulu and Waikiki beach as he filled up his double decker bus. The trip round the historic area was interesting but Pearl Harbour was as poignant as you would expect. The exhibitions taught this history buff a whole lot of stuff we in the UK are never told about the USA/Japan dynamic in the 1920/30s. Amazing.”
