The the mighty USS Missouri in all her glory on this amazing Pearl Harbor tour!

The guns of "Mighty Mo" are nothing short of massive while standing on the deck of this historic battleship.

A visit to the USS Oklahoma Memorial is an added highlight of this tour.

The Pearl Harbor Visitor Center is home to interesting museums and historical artifacts like this anchor from the USS Arizona weighing nearly 20,000 pounds!

Zero Stars!!! We made reservations with this company for a much anticipated trip to celebrate a college graduation. I made the reservations well in advance and then came the Corona Virus. We were forced to cancel our reservations because of the pandemic. I was assured that we would receive a refund for our tour but that they would have to wait to see if we could receive a refund for the air fare. I was instructed to call back two weeks later to confirm. When I did this the representative stated that I WOULD be receiving a full refund including air fare and it would be in my account within 30 days. After this time passed and I didn't receive the refund I called back. They tried to say they could not find my name or reservation in the system. They said I must have made my reservation with 'Aloha Sunshine Tours' instead of Discover Hawaii Tours. I then went back to my confirmation email and typed in Aloha Sunshine Tours to go to the website, low and behold it took me to Discover Hawaii Tours. A little sketchy for sure!. I was able to find a phone number for Aloha Sunshine Tours and left multiple voice mails and messages with the answering service and they said they would have the manager call me back...no return call. When I called the number again (probably for the 30th time) the number went to Discover Hawaii Tours and the representative again said that he could not find my name or confirmation number. I asked him why the number I called would ring at a different business and he said that they were all out of the office and may have forwarded calls to him. I explained to him what my issue was and he instructed me to call my bank and try to get my money back that way. That is what I did and after investigation my bank said they were told that this company does not offer any refunds. Needless to say I lost $1400.00 that could be spent on many other things, simply due to a pandemic and a bogus company. Do not book with these people!

This was our 2nd time on the Waikele outlet buses and not impressed! It seems this time the drivers were family members of the owners....didn’t explain anything on the way there re the destination passports (which passengers are entitled to for extra discounts) to the passengers who had never been before and when dropped off just said pick up here. Then on way back just dropped us off in Waikiki and when asked why not dropping us off where we were picked up from said need to get another shuttle. In the bus the driver said he couldn’t wait to get to the beach and I guess that was more important than dropping us at our destination which is pretty bad service.

Excellent full-day around island tour giving flavour of life with visits to turtle beach, Dole Pineapple plantation, shops and shrimp lunch stop (pay your own) plus many photo stops along the way. Excellent driver-guide. And a/c minibus.

Tour was ok our tour guide was good very knowledgeable on the Hawaiian history which was interesting. We booked with Discover Hawaii tours but ended up with Aloha Sunshine Tours I am guessing there is some relationship between them. There was a lot of points on the trip which I thought we were stopping at but just drove by like Haleiwa Town etc. I think the idea was for us to have lunch there but as there was only 3 people on our tour we were running ahead of time so we’re there early but I thought we may have still stopped for a look about the town and shops. We had lunch at Waimea falls as had some time but didn’t realise that we could have had lunch at the north shore food trucks if we knew they were still to come. But drove past. Overall I think the excellent knowledge of the driver with the history of each area was really good.
