This full-day bus tour covers three major sites on Oahu: Pearl Harbor, Dole Plantation, and the Polynesian Cultural Center. The tour begins at Pearl Harbor, where visitors spend about two hours at the Historic Sites Visitor Center. Here, they see exhibits about the December 7, 1941 attack, watch a 23-minute documentary on the event and the USS Arizona Memorial, and take a 10-minute boat ride to the memorial itself. At the USS Arizona Memorial, guests spend approximately one hour viewing the white open-air structure above the sunken battleship, seeing the shipwreck and the oil droplets called "The Tears of the Arizona," and viewing the Remembrance Wall listing the names of 1,177 crew members who died. Next, the tour continues to the Dole Plantation for about one hour. Visitors can shop for pineapple-themed souvenirs, local crafts, and specialty foods like jams and dried fruit at the Plantation Store. They may also enjoy a frozen Dole Whip treat and take a short walk to see the multicolored bark of the Rainbow Eucalyptus trees. The tour includes a scenic drive along Oahu’s North Shore, passing famous surf beaches such as Banzai Pipeline, Waimea Bay, and Sunset Beach, known for their large winter waves and surfing events. The drive offers views of the Pacific Ocean, green mountains, and rugged coastline. At the Polynesian Cultural Center, guests spend about three hours visiting villages representing six Pacific Island nations: Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, and New Zealand. They meet islanders, listen to stories and songs, watch traditional dances, and can take a canoe ride between villages. Activities include learning Tahitian spear throwing and Samoan cooking. A barbecue lunch is served during the visit, and visitors watch the Polynesian Canoe Pageant. The last stop is Kualoa Regional Park for 30 minutes. Visitors can relax by the beach while viewing turquoise waters, the offshore islet Chinaman's Hat (Mokoli’i), and the Kualoa mountain range. The tour lasts about 9 to 10 hours and is conducted in a luxury air-conditioned van. All attraction entry tickets are provided by the guide on the day. Round-trip airfare from Lihue Airport on Kauai to Honolulu International Airport is included. Meals other than the lunch at the Polynesian Cultural Center are at the guest’s expense. Purses and bags are not allowed inside Pearl Harbor but can be stored for a fee. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk several city blocks. Advance tickets for the USS Arizona Memorial are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed.
