Waikiki

Round Trip Transportation in a premium coach or limo bus from Waikiki. Regardless of where you are staying, there is a close pickup location to you.

Honolulu (Pass By)

Enjoy seeing different parts of Honolulu City while riding to Pearl Harbor.

Pearl Harbor National Memorial

Welcome to the Pearl Harbor Visitors Center. This is your home base for the day. Here you will have access to multiple museums, facilities, and the exclusive Pearl Harbor documentary only available right here. This is also where you will board the boats that will take you out to the USS Arizona Memorial.

USS Arizona Memorial

After enjoying the museums at the Pearl Harbor Visitors Center, and watching the exclusive documentary, it will be time to take the boat ride out to the USS Arizona Memorial to visit the iconic structure the people closely associate with Pearl Harbor. Here you will see the wall of names, the tears of Arizona, and observe a moment of silence to pay respects to the fallen who paid the ultimate sacrifice. *TICKETS TO THE ARIZONA MEMORIAL ARE GUARANTEED

USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park

The USS Bowfin Submarine is docked right outside the Pearl Harbor visitors center. The price of admission is not included in this tour, however, you will be able to get an up-close view of the old submarine and take some great photos as well.

King Kamehameha Statue

After we see all of the attractions at Pacific Historic Parks in Pearl Harbor, we will begin our Honolulu City Tour. The first stop is the statue of King Kamehameha the Great... The famed Hawaiian King who conquered and united the Hawaiian Islands. A very tall man, the statue is larger than life, but not much... King Kamehameha stood at 7' 6" tall.

Iolani Palace (Pass By)

The Iolani Palace in Hawaii is a significant historical site with a rich history. This is not a full stop, but we pass by for you to see it.

Kawaiahao Church (Pass By)

The tour also includes a drive-by of the Kawaiahao Church. One significant aspect of the Kawaiahao Church is its architecture. The church was built using native Hawaiian materials, including lava rock and coral, and it is an example of traditional Hawaiian architecture. The church is also known for its large size and beautiful interior, which includes a high ceiling and stained glass windows.

Hawaiian Mission Houses Historic Site and Archives (Pass By)

The tour also includes a drive-by of the Hawaiian Mission Houses. The missionaries who lived in these houses were instrumental in the development of Hawaii's educational and legal systems, and they played a key role in the creation of a written Hawaiian language. The houses also served as important centers of learning and cultural exchange, and they provided a bridge between the Western and Hawaiian cultures.

Aloha Tower Marketplace (Pass By)

The tour also includes a drive-by of Aloha Tower. The Aloha Tower has also played an important role in the history and development of Honolulu. It was the site of many important events, including the arrival of the first transpacific flight to Hawaii in 1927. It is now a popular tourist destination and is a well-recognized symbol of the city and state.

Waikiki (Pass By)

It's been a fantastic day, and it's now time to make our way back to Waikiki. Go get some lunch and take a nap on the beach... You've earned it!

Why take this tour?

Your morning begins with convenient Waikiki Pickups in a premium limo bus and a local guide greeting you. Once you arrive at Pearl Harbor, you’ll visit two museums with a knowledgeable local guide, and see an exclusive documentary that can only be seen here. It never has and never will be aired on TV or social media.

The tour continues with a boat ride to the USS Arizona Memorial which is built on top of a massive warship. You will also see the Black Tears of Arizona and the USS Bowfin Submarine, two other pieces of history that live to tell about the tragic event.

The Wall of Names is one of the more sacred aspects of the visit to the USS Arizona Memorial. Here we are able to honor the fallen soldiers who lost their lives to the perils of war during the attack. A moment of silence is observed during this time to pay respect to those who gave everything for their freedom.

Once you’ve experienced the core of the experience, we’ll take you out for a tour of downtown Honolulu including a visit to the statue of King Kamehameha the Great.

Our tour was fantastic! However, this is mainly because we had the BEST tour guide ever--Aka! He is a native Hawaiian filled with cultural insights, that taught us Hawaiian words A true gem. We went around the island and got to see many places we would not have seen otherwise. Snorkeling was fun and we did see a sea turle; however, the visibility was poor in the water. I wish we had more time to explore North Shore. The day was great. Here are some tips. I bought my tickets through the Aloha Circle Island Groupon site. It ended up being legit. I was on the same tour with everyone else. They seem to have a dedicated groupon site for them, but it worked. We also did our Pearl Harbor tour through Aloha too. Interestingly-- I had thought of booking my 'circle island tour' through NuiTours--maybe I liked the website better--- well when pick up time came for the morning of the tour I found out that others HAD booked the Nui Tour. I talked to the guide and he explained that there are several vendors for the tours but that it is all the same tour--they funnel you into the same thing-- so I guess find the best price. You all end up together. The one lady from Nui Tours didnt think she had paid for snorkeling--but I knew I had that in my trip-- we all ended up snorkeling no matter which place you had paid.I am glad I planned this for our first day on the island so we could see what our options were for the week. There was no bathroom on the bus, but we stopped a various places and it all worked out for the day. The lunch wasn't that great, and was over priced.Now I will share this. Our bus was great, our ride was great and our tour guide was great. However, we did have to 'rescue' other people on an excursion. Their bus broke down. They were with Nui Tours on a smaller little bus for some photo expedition. Those people got on our bus very unhappy. Their tour was awful--the bus broke down twice. They were stranded on the street waiting and saw nothing. Then when they complained and told the tour guide they wanted a refund---he told the owner ( I believe it would be the owner of Nui Tours) and according to several of these stranded people-- the owner told them they could 'get the heck off his bus and pay the $85 fee for an Uber back to their hotels". On top of that they said their bus had cockroaches on it. I wouldnt believe it but there were several upset people and I saw no reason for them to lie. That was their experience and yet ours was wonderful. That just showed me how you can get such different reviews of same companies. Hopefully the owner will repair that little bus. I think it probably should ever have been out for that day in the first place. That was so unfortunate for them, but they all enjoyed our wonderful happy bus returning back with our wonderful guide Aka. We were all laughing and singing all day.

Probably the most fun I had on my adventure to Hawaii The tour guide was Papa P and let me tell you he really made it feel like everybody on the bus was one big Ohana as if your grandpa was taking you out on a drive or something. As far as the tour goes it’s great as it takes you to the important sight seeing spots of the island witch are rather hard to access with out a car. Papa p would pull up to the destination and depending on the location and are interest give us a time range of 15-30 minutes to explore and wonder. Papa p organization also allowed us to save time witch in turn gave us more time to snorkel with turtles. Awesome Becuase we actually got to swim with them! Like I mentioned Papa P was awesome and truly made my island tour unforgettable!! after the event I tried to book another tour before I left back to Phoenix but the offices were closed and thus my adventure came to an end I recommend booking solely through the aloha company as it seems to be a one stop shop from island tour to north shore tour sunset cruises!!! Also did the Pearl Harbor tour, I liked the informative information that was provided to us by cuzzo kalki , Only thing I regret was not booking more activities through the aloha company. You guys are the best!!!!

Tour guide by COUSIN A aka Ariel was incredible!!! We were lucky to get him twice again for the Pearl Harbor tour. He truly brought the ALOHA spirit and humor the entire trip. We learned and saw awesome spots such as the Amelia Earhart Lookout, Blowhole on the east side, awesome shrimp spot at Fumi's, snorkeling on the north shore, and stopping at the Dole Plantation before heading back to Waikiki. Cousin A explained the history of Oahu through traditional Hawaii stories and he had SO much knowledge about the island in general. Highly recommended!!! Truly a great way to get a well-rounded Oahu experience.

Aloha circle island tour is a must when visiting Oahu. Cousin A was our tour guide and he is the best tour guide we have ever had. He is very knowledgeable, informative, and funny. He made this experience even more enjoyable. So much so, that we booked our Pearl Harbor tour with this company so cousin A could be our tour guide. We stayed in Waikiki and did not rent a car so this was a great way for us to see other areas and highlights of the island of Oahu. Don't think twice, book this tour! And ask for cousin A

It was our first trip to Hawaii (Jan 2018). We had a cancelled flight from Toronto to Hawaii (via IAD) and our flights were eventually rebooked by a day (one day delay). We called this company to ask for help (rescheduling our tours - pearl harbour and circle island). Although we needed a few calls and took a while to get our tours rescheduled, they were eventually able to accommodate us. We were so excited because the mess-up by United Airlines would have ruined our trip. Our first tour (morning after our arrival) was Pearl Harbour and our second tour was Circle Island Our tour guide Maiya L (Cousin Maiya) was wonderful. He happened to be the same tour guide from the Pearl Harbour Tour. He was probably one of the most humorous tour guides we ever had. He drove us around the Oahu island (literally a full circle) and talked about various spots. The tour started around 7am? and ended around 5pm? There was about 16 people on the tour (a mini bus). It was great. We highly recommended the tour to first time visitors.
