Not as advertised. You can not get on the memorial to start. The Pali look out is closed because of road work, and forget about stopping at the bays. Don’t send your money, rent a car, or take a bus.
Starting from Waikiki, download the bus app. You’ll take the A bus for 45 min as early as 6am, from the Ala Moana Center . This went up the coastline. We paid $11.00 for two people all day bus passes. This bus line covers so much. You can make your first stop at Pearl Harbor, USS Arizona, the general admission cost is $7.50 per adult and opens at 7am, yes this includes the film and boat shuttle for the up close photo ops. You can easily stay about 3 hours, on the tour we were there 1 hour, completely rushed. Your second stop of the day , is set for dole plantation, which is about a 30 minute stop, followed by a trip north to Kualoa Ranch, this stop is an hour, but all the good tours are here. You must book the Jurassic park Hollywood tour weeks in advance, there’s zip lining and houses, as well as atv, definitely a half a day must. Then we went to Byodo In Temple., on your own would cost $5.00. No Pali Look our, nor Hanauma Bay stop, these are instagram able musts. But again, it is advertised in their tour but they don’t stop due to construction. With all the money saved you can do the deluxe Hollywood tour at Kualoa Ranch. Another money savor tip, there’s a target at the ala Moana center, water, granola bars, and snacks for the trips.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your expectations of the tour were not met. The Arizona Memorial dock is under temporary repair for safety reasons, but the Navy boats do take guests on a live narrated tour around the Arizona Memorial - the view from the boats is very good. Also, we regret that we are unable to bring guests to the Pali Lookout. Due to a dangerous landslide earlier this year, the area is under repair also for safety reasons. We appreciate your comments and hope that you had an overall nice vacation in Hawaii. Mahalo!
