The 15 Best Honolulu City Tours

37 tours

Downtown Honolulu holds the only royal palace on American soil, the Kamehameha statue, Chinatown and the Punchbowl crater above it all. These city tours are ranked on route and pace: which pair the city with Pearl Harbor, which climb to the Pali lookout, and which give you time inside Iolani Palace rather than a photo stop outside it.

“The Pearl Harbor experience was very informative and moving. I liked that there was a short documentary to be viewed before going to the Memorial that put everything into perspective. As an added bonus, our tour guide Lola gave some excellent information about the history of Hawaii while pointing out some sites both on the way to and back from Pearl Harbor. Definitely got my money's worth with this tour. Thanks, Lola!”

“The tour was really not worth much. The only reason to use this company was to get a reservation to get into the uss Arizona. The city tour was not worth it. We spent most of the time picking up different partys to join the group. They would do better, just heading straight to the pearl harbor visitors center, so you have time to actually see things while there.”

Small-group Waikiki pickup to Pearl Harbor, USS Arizona Memorial, and Honolulu highlights, timed for the boat shuttle and guided throughout.

“Aside from visiting the shipwreck site to see the names of the victims and pay respects, there isn't much to see. If you're interested in the history of this tragedy, that's fine, but personally, I could have learned just as much online. The film is interesting, but nothing special. I thought we would be able to see the wreck underwater. We only see a part of it above the water, and oil is still leaking from it, supposedly to symbolize the blood of the victims! I think it's more likely they're just avoiding paying to empty the ship's tanks. If that's the case, they should have at least cordoned off…”

“For a second time the meeting place address was incorrect. In London the address failed to have a west or east destination. My wife and I ended up miles from the actual meeting place. Here in Honolulu they got it a little better. The address listed was only about 700 yards away from the actual pick up spot. The phone number to call for a contact went to a hotel and they had no idea what I was talking about. Viator pawned off our trip to a third party. This third party guide contacted us and thankfully we were able to find their location. Viator needs to update their website…”
