Review of E Noa’s Pearl Harbor tour, with USS Arizona, USS Missouri, Waikiki pickup, Honolulu sightseeing, tips, costs, and timing.

“Pickup and drop-off were prompt and accurate as promised, with a friendly and informative tour leader. He gave a complete history of the Pearl Harbor attack and recommended facts and displays to note while visiting the site. The tour was a good way for a visitor who would otherwise have trouble finding their way around a big and confusing city.”

Pearl Harbor City Tour

10.Pearl Harbor City Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,254 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $69

Pair Honolulu’s royal past with a moving Pearl Harbor visit, guided city views, USS Arizona access, Waikiki pickup, and practical tips.

“I hate to write this, but felt the description for this excursion was misleading. Our driver was awesome, no doubt. Knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Had plenty of interesting commentary leading up to the memorial, through the city. The guided tour does stop however at the memorial. Rides on the Arizona are not guaranteed, and the cost of this excursion doesn’t include any of the add-ons at the site. Although we loved our guide, this amounted to a glorified Uber ride that we could’ve accomplished much cheaper on our own.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,682 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $154

Review of Oahu’s North Shore and Waimea Waterfall tour, with hotel pickup, island views, local food stops, and practical booking tips.

“Pleasant but unexciting overview of coast. Waimea Garden is very touristy and underwhelming as a “waterfall swim experience”. Think would have been better to go into Kualoa Ranch or Halewa instead. Driver was 25 min late in morning and in return had to double back for people who did not get off on their stop making us stay on bus longer.”
