Pearl Harbor USS Arizona Memorial Tour from Waikiki

First experience with a add-on tour - would do it again

Our tour guide was excellent. He gave us historical footnotes and pointed out areas as we passed that had historical significance to Pearl Harbor.

Pearl Harbour with Finny

Today, 13 September 2026, we did the Pearl Harbor tour with our driver and host, Finny, and we have to say it was a brilliant day. We are staying at the Moana Surfrider and were picked up at the Duke, just about five minutes up the road, at the tram stop just past the police station. Everything was very straightforward and well organised. Finny is very regimental, but in a good way! He gives clear and accurate instructions, so everyone knows exactly what is happening and where they need to be. Personally, that is exactly how I like it — no confusion and no wondering what happens next. What really stood out was Finny’s knowledge and passion. His talks about the history of Pearl Harbor and Hawaii were detailed, interesting and clearly came from someone who genuinely loves what he does. He also gave us lots of local knowledge about Waikiki, the hotels and Hawaii in general, which added something extra to the day. The only bit of hotel history he missed was the Moana Surfrider itself — known as the “First Lady of Waikiki”, having opened in 1901 and being one of the first hotels built in Waikiki. We can forgive him that one! 😂 If you are coming to Hawaii, Pearl Harbor is definitely a must-do, and we would highly recommend experiencing it with Finny. His knowledge, organisation and enthusiasm made the day what it was. A big thank you, Finny, from the two of us. Andrew & Linda – UK 🇬🇧

Luau Kaula in Ko Olina, Oahu

solarpwdrd, Sep 2026

Another great show

We took our visiting family from the mainland. It was great to see them enjoy “the story” instead of just the dancing. The production team is fabulous as are the entire company. The best dancers and musicians we have ever seen on island. The food is lovely even though it went to a buffet style which I was Leary of. Still a great job.

Must do when visiting Hawaii

Our first trip to Hawaii and so glad we were told we should do a Luau. We did the back seat or whatever the cheaper option was and have no complaints. The drinks were delicious just like the food. We were able to get all the extras such as the flower bracelet and the leaf headband. We even went on stage for hula lessons. The performances were amazing! So much fun!
