I was really looking forward to this. This was $1000 for the two of us (way more than our round trip tickets from Chicago) to travel from the Big Island to Pearl Harbor for the day along with the downtown tour they discuss on here. To be fair, our plane was late because Southwest forgot to fuel the plane (not kidding). However, this was the very reason we did a tour instead of setting everything up ourselves. Yet, because we were late we had to take a cab to Pearl Harbor to meet tour. I was reimbursed. However, we missed information. We did not know we could get free headphones for the walk on submarine. I am thinking they told about this on trip to Pearl Harbor because we kept hearing: "As I told you on the way to Pearl Harbor" while we traveled to Ford Island. It was convenient to have tickets to exhibits already bought from tour group, but we did not do any other parts of the excursion. We were told if we wanted to do the other parts of he excursion we would be caught in traffic for two hours and we were not guarantee to meet our plane. No other people had taken a plane (I had asked) so I think we were an inconvenience to get back. We did not want to spend our time in Hawaii on an outdated warm van. If I were to do this again, I would plan this on my own and buy tickets way ahead of time. I also heard people on the plane when we were going there telling us they were with a different tour that did supply meals. This tour offered no food and NO water. I was considering marking this review as poor but went with average because communication was excellent and the guide was kind. For the experience (or lack of it) I think I could have set this up myself for way less.
