What To Expect
We begin at historic Pearl Harbor where you will experience firsthand the earth-shattering events that catapulted the U.S. into World War II. Join us at the USS Arizona Memorial, a deeply moving and emotional experience where you will learn about the 1,177 seamen who perished when their battleship was sunk during the December 7, 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. You’ll witness the attack in a 23-minute documentary and then cross the harbor to the Memorial in a Navy vessel. At the Memorial, pay your respects to the heroes whose names are etched in marble in the Shrine Room. Look into the water and note the oil droplets – “The Black Tears of the Arizona” – that continue to escape the sunken battleship and rise to the harbor surface. Back at Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, there will be time to visit the WWII museum exhibits and the bookshop.
Dole Plantation
During this time, you can explore the Dole Plantation Store, where you'll find pineapple-themed souvenirs, local crafts, and specialty foods like jams and dried fruit. Don’t miss trying a Dole Whip, the famous pineapple-flavored soft-serve treat. You can also take a short walk to see the beautiful Rainbow Eucalyptus trees, known for their colorful, multi-hued bark.

5.00This tour was great! Summer was so knowledgeable and we learned so much! I only wish we would have had more time for each activity- especially at the Polynesian Culture Center. Had so much fun!

5.00Great time. Wonderful experience. Summer’s itinerary for the Polynesian Cultural Center was perfect.
This tour is entirely too...

2.00This tour is entirely too long. The Pearl Harbor tour was interesting. The Dole plantation was only a souvenir stop. The Polynesian Center tour was too much after a long rainy day. If you want to do these activities, do them separately on different days.
Papa P Went Above and Beyond! - Fun, Personal, and Unforgettable Tour Experience

5.00We had an amazing experience with Aloha Sunshine Tours on the Pearl Harbor, Plantation, and Polynesian Cultural Center tour! Papa P was absolutely the best tour guide — incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and attentive to everyone throughout the entire day. He made the experience feel very personal and took the time to get to know all of us, which made the tour even more special. It was a long day, but Papa P kept everything fun, engaging, and comfortable from start to finish. He shared so much interesting information and local history, included everyone in the experience, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we were having a great time. He was also hilarious and made us laugh all day long! One of my favorite parts was when he played the guitar and sang songs for us. It made the tour feel so authentic and memorable. We also loved hearing his stories about his family and life in Hawaii. You can really tell how much he cares about people and loves what he does. We would absolutely recommend Papa P and Aloha Sunshine Tours to anyone visiting Hawaii. Thank you for such a wonderful and unforgettable experience!
Plan for a very long day

3.00The tour description states that the tour starts at 7am. The tour operator informed me that it actually starts with a pickup time of 6:15am telling me that the tour company has informed Viator of this but Viator failed to change the start time. The description also states the tour lasts 6-7 hours which is what I planned for. It is actually 12 hours and had I known I would not have booked this. The bus air conditioning was inadequate and the speaker system was so loud I wore hearing protection all day. The driver/tour guide was good, very friendly, helpful and informative. If it wasn’t for him, I would have given the review only 1 star. The war memorial and the Polynesian Cultural Center were both spectacular and I definitely recommend a visit to both.
Had fun

5.00If I could give this tour 10 stars I would. This was such a beautiful experience that I did not want it to end. Papa P made us family in our time together. He told us beautiful stories about his family and showed us pictures. Papa P played his guitar and sang to us. He also played music and we sang in our seats. I cried a little bit on the way back to Waikiki because I didn’t want the day to end. It was a memory I will hold in my heart forever!
Wonderful for a first time visitor to Hawaii

5.00Our driver, Anthony, was fabulous. He was very knowledgeable and personable. He kept things interesting and on time. We were even able to squeeze in a couple bonus short stops. All admission is part of the tour, so you don’t need to worry about anything.
