    Excellent tour and guide. Our first visit to the USS Arizona Memorial was a solemn and moving experience. The museums and sites and memorials were all interesting and educational. Our driver and guide was a man named Ariel who was extremely charismatic and entertaining. His knowledge of the Hawaiian community, the language and culture were very interesting and made our tour an educational and lovely experience. Highly recommend this company and particularly this guide. Wonderful experience!

    They did not communicate well on when or where to pick us up. Even after I repeatedly contacted them about directions and details, it wasn't until 7am of the day they were ro pick us up that they finally told us where to meet. The tour at Pearl Harbor was not a tour, they dropped us there for 1 hour 30 minutes to do our own things with no tour. Not helpful and absolutely not enough time for Pearl Harbor. We weren't able to do the submarine, the museum, or read much of the history or monuments because there just simply wasn't enough time. Then we got back in their van and they drove us around town but never stopped anywhere for pictures or any other sight seeing. We wasted half a day in a van.

    i booked this tour with Karma Hawaiian tour through an app, to say the least it was a horrible experience from the Karma Hawaiian tour guide named Finny, he treated everyone like children and talked to us like we didn’t have any common sense with direction, basically like a bunch of kids in kindergarten by telling us to sit in specific spots in the bus and not to sit where we wanted to or needed to. he threaten us if we didn’t return back to the bus at the specific time he would leave us there and we would have to get a taxi back. once i was walking back to the bus i heard him joking around with a couple of the guest and another tour guide so i decided to join in on the humor and i repeated the same exact thing Finny said to the other tour guide and added i need to get into the bus and needed some AC because it was hot. i laughed smiled and winked when i said it, a few minutes later finny came back into the bus and called me out in front of the entire bus of people and stated to me i was offensive and rude by what i said and he didn’t appreciate what i said to the other tour guide. i was mortified insulted embarrassed and humiliated by him doing this in front of the entire bus and assuming what i said to a total stranger would be a rude insulting comment rather than just a joke. so i called him over and explained to him that exact thing and that my statement was a joke and that i was playing along with the joking around that he was doing. i also explained to him that him assuming that about me was the wrong thing for him to do especially when i smiled laughed and winked when i said it, i told him that i felt he was being rude to me by calling me out in from of the entire group of people in the bus. that’s when he threaten to kick me off the bus and told me i could take a cab back to my hotel and he had the right to do that to me if he wanted. i was humiliated and embarrassed by his actions and it destroyed and ruined my experience of a memorable day that i paid a lot of money for to have this experience at Pearl Harbor. Finny was a horrible and unprofessional person and tour guide. i would not recommend Karma Hawaiian tours due to this unprofessional tour guide that this tour guide gave my wife and i.

    Ben was excellent! He answered any question and gave a realistic view of Hawaii. Hi stories were real. He knows a lot of history combined with his life experience. He even took care of me when I crashed and passed out on the Arizona. He offered food and water and went ahead of us to cool the van. He went far beyond being courteous and knowledgeable. He made me feel safe. Whatever happens Ben is the best tour guide clear and loud and full Of fun.

    Ruben, sandwich, was a great tour guide. He was exactly what we expected in relaxed Oahu, very informative and honest. Touring the island was very insightful. Recommend this tour for a way to learn and see Oahu beyond the tourist area.

    The tour was very well done, they communicated with us better that anyone. We were picked up at our hotel and our guide was really good and proved what a small world it really is.

    My husband and I had a wonderful experience on our trip to Pearl Harbour. Our bus driver, Cousin B was the best! He was a wealth of information and made our trip even more special. We would highly recommend Karma Tour Hawaii and their awesome driver Cousin B to anyone:)

    Started off waiting at the P/U point ( our HOTEL) framework m TripAdvisor. Thankfully Brian called and told us where he was since TripAdvisor was wrong. Have us the BEST tour of Pearl Harbor I e ever had. He is full of information not only about Pearl, but the whole Island. Asked if there was a Tour going to Punchbowl, next thing I know he’s driving us to on our way back it is a moving experience for sure. Ask for Brian and you’ll get the BEST TOUR too. Added two pics one of The Arizona’s turret and Punchbowl Crater or The National Cemetery of The Pacific

    Our guide , Art, was fantastic! We were picked up at Hilton Hawaiian Village, and everyone had a great time. He was very knowledgeable about the local lore, and the whole Pearl Harbor experience. Would highly recommend!

    Awesome trip to Pearl Harbor today. Our guide, Finny I think (it’s been a long 4 days) was very upbeat and enthusiastic. I really enjoyed all of the information and history that he provided on the ride. Highly recommend this company.

    Cousin David was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and has a service minded attitude. Excellent experience. We highly recommend this tour. 7 hour experience of a lifetime, well done, on time, educational, and moving. The Arizona, the Missouri, and downtown Honolulu all in one tour. If you have a day on Oahu you should book this tour!

    Perfect trip for a half day visit to Pearl Harbor. Excellent guide Arlaine was charming and super knowledgeable. Would do this with Karma again. Blessed with a gorgeous rainbow over the Arizona Memorial.

    Our tour to Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial and USS Missouri were great! Our guide Arlane was amazing - so knowledgeable and kind. Convenient pick up at Our Waikiki hotel too. Highly recommend Karma Tours for this outing!

    Karma Tour took all the hassle out of traveling and exploring the island. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our day & highly recommend the personal service and care that Karma tours provided. We were picked up by Barney who was bright and cheery right from the start. The van was comfortable and roomy vs. being crammed together on a bus. As we drove to Pearl Harbor, Barney taught us about the island and all of us learned things we didn’t know. Once at Pearl Harbor he walked us to the entrance gave us our tickets and offered some great tips for getting the most out of our visit. Incredible morning seeing everything with our personal guide. Thank you!!

    As a travel agent, when I travel to new places, I like to use companies that I would potentially be sending my clients. Karma Tour Hawaii provided an excellent experience with their Pearl Harbor tour. It was an all-day private tour with the full Pearl Harbor experience. The guide, Ben, made the trip fantastic from the time he picked us up at the hotel. His knowledge of the local area and history was on full display as he drove to Pearl Harbor. For me, this was a bonus since I love to learn the history of places I visit. Ben took us to four stops in Pearl Harbor. (Arizona, USS Missouri, Museum, and Bowfin submarine) He provided as much information as possible given that tour guides are not allowed inside but that was no problem. Ben prepared us well for what to see and do. When we came out, he answered all the questions we had. Kudos to Ben and Karma Tour Hawaii. Job well done.

    What a great tour of Pearl Harbor. Our group of 4 did the All in One tour on 10/9/22. Our guide, Art, was wonderful. I can’t say enough about him. He was right on time with pick up. The mini van we were in was very clean and nice. Art was very knowledgeable of the procedures and guidelines of Pearl. He was able to tell us where each attraction was, how to access it, where to go once inside and where to meet him when finished. Art had all our tickets in hand and gave them to us when we needed them. He was able to provided us where the best places to grab a bite for lunch and where they were located. Once finished with Pearl, he gave us a tour of Honolulu on the way back to our resort including Punch Bowl. I would certainly recommend Karma Tours and Art.

    Excellent company. Very professional. We were picked up at our hotel on time, in a nice and clean vehicle. Our tour guide Barney educated us on Hawaiian sites and culture. He took us to Pearl Harbor and made sure we had our tickets and arrived at each location on time. After Pearl Harbor Barney continued showing us city sites and gave a wealth of information about Hawaii’s history. It was a fantastic day and I highly recommend you take this tour, especially if you like WWII history. It’s memorable and humbling experience.

    This was a wonderful and full day at Pearl Harbor and then a further city tour with a professional and reliable company. They educate you and your group and give you a great overview of Hawaiian history and lots of little anecdotal stories along the way. They even recommended things for us to do in the evening. Our guide Barney was very fun and well versed on lots of history. The memorial visit was very meaningful and is a beautiful site. It saved our group from having to figure out public transportation for group of six and was east and convenient. The only reason for 4 stars is that the plan for lunch was not clear to many of us at all and most in our tour ended up not eating. It would also be helpful to be given some advice on how to use your time wisely to be able to see all the levels of the Missouri. It was our first time and we didn’t realize how much of the info and “museum” is below decks, and had we known we may have even started there. Just something to mention when you drop people off, as we ended up very quickly looping through the long maze below and there is only one way out, so once you begin the below deck tour, you have to keep going and finish it up and we were afraid we were going to be very late for our bus up at the front. Overall, this day was a great experience. Thank you for driving us and eliminating so much worry and hassle and helping us learn much more about State, American and World history.

    My first trip with my family to Oahu. My last personal visit was 25 years ago! So much has changed, but not the hospitality of locals. Wonderful visit. Barney from Karma Tour made the short tour thoroughly enjoyable. He brought me up to date on all the major improvements to Oahu and what the future looks like. The Arizona tour was great. Tour included Military Cemetery of the Pacific and downtown palace and city offices. Barney was a delightful history buff, I enjoy history so we had much in common. I highly recommend Karma Tour. Overall great experience for me and my family. Mahalo Barney!

    Our pearl Harbor tour was great. Our tour guide, Barney Ho, was awesome. Right from the start Barney provided much needed help navigating the process and making sure our tour was top notch by providing interesting information about the neighborhoods and special sites we were seeing and adding humorous information about celebrities, movie tidbits and living in Hawaii. A stop included Kamehameha Bakery, an unexpected treat. We highly recommend Karma Tours and Barney in particular, to anyone.
