About Pearl Harbor Tours

About Pearl Harbor Tours Company and Guides

Pearl Harbor Tours LLC is one big, happy ohana (family). You’ll feel right at home with us because you become part of our family from our first interaction.

Pearl Harbor Tours Ohana

We have many hanai children we’ve adopted into our ohana from throughout the world – and some even work with us today. No matter where you’re from, our aloha will shine right through – even if we donʻt quite speak the same language (currently offering tours in English & Spanish).

Each of us who works behind the scenes at Pearl Harbor Tours has a connection to our islands. Your pearl harbor tour guide and driver, as well as our Customer Service Team, have spent years in the Hawaiian tourism industry, not just as guides but also as performers and managers. We know how to make your trip great, and we take pride in consistently providing excellent tours – every day.

Our Mission Statement:

We guarantee our guests will have a welcoming, personalized, small-group experience of Pearl Harbor when they take a tour with our locally operated and family-run company. We strive to create an unforgettable experience for our island visitors and members of our extended ohana. We continually build a model company that utilizes eco-friendly practices and can comfortably support local families through conscientious tourism.

Why Pearl Harbor Tours?

Our love of Pearl Harbor began when we were young with school trips and special outings with our local Boy and Girl Scout troops. We made strong connections with not only the stories about Pearl Harbor (the place) but with the people who lived, worked, and died there.

Today we remember those who sacrificed with a solemn visit to the USS Arizona Memorial that stands over the sunken USS Arizona. You can meet some of our veterans daily at the Visitor Center. Each year we proudly remember those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom with the Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade, an event we organize.

We began offering tours to Pearl Harbor & beyond in 2011. We organized our first Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade on December 7, 2011, in honor of the 70th Anniversary of the events that took place at Pearl Harbor on Dec 7, 1941. Since the first parade, we have hosted over 200 Pearl Harbor Harbor survivors. It’s a great opportunity for everyone to have a chance to personally thank all of our parade marshals, who are Pearl Harbor Survivors and Veterans, for their dedication and service.

Most people don’t realize that the greatest significance of Pearl Harbor isn’t that it’s a famous date on the calendar or because it forced the US to enter into WW2. The attack, and its aftermath, illustrated the enduring nature of one of humanity’s best traits… the will to turn a horrible tragedy into a beacon that leads us towards a better place. Today, the USS Arizona and itʻs memorial are a beacon of peace for the world. We do what we do at Pearl Harbor Tours because we want to help more people experience it the way we do.

Our History

Pearl Harbor Tours team started in the tourism industry more than 20 years ago, working for land & sea tours like:

Polynesian Cultural Center
The road to Hana (Maui)
Boat trips to Molokini Crater
Luaus throughout Waikiki

Our focus has always been Hawai’i, but given our roots as a travel agency (providing sales & service for other companies’ tours), we decided that it was time to put our collective tour experience to use and follow the natural progression of Pearl Harbor Tours’ growth and delve into the tour market. We began offering tours to Pearl Harbor & beyond in 2017. Our customizable tours and highly rated customer service shows that we’re willing to go the distance to make sure your Hawaii vacation is unforgettable!

Sustainability Commitment

Sustainability Commitment Statement

Pearl Harbor Tours prioritizes sustainability. As a local business, we take steps to support positive environmental actions throughout our operations and across the state. We proudly support the growth of our communities so they can continue to thrive. We honor the native ancestors of this land and continue to respect the Hawaiian people, places, culture, and environment. That includes our duty to protect the ʻāina, upon which we all live. To carry out this commitment, we have implemented these measures of sustainable commitment:

Environmental Management
We have thoughtfully designed our tour operations to maximize efficiency. We significantly reduce our environmental impact by avoiding frequently trafficked routes and times, maximizing ridesharing and guests per vehicle, and centralizing our vehicle locations.

Staff Management
Our guides are compassionate and capable. They receive extensive training to ensure coverage of all needs when it comes to the safety and comfort of our guests and fellow staff. As members of the community, they have extensive knowledge of the islands’ land and cultural heritage. Their investment in hosting a positive experience for our guests shows through in their pleasing customer experience.
Always encouraged to grow, our staff can take advantage of rewarding professional development opportunities.

Interpretation Management
Sustainability is an integral part of the islands’ Polynesian culture – a value shared by our organization, too. In addition to our geographic location, several staff members have genealogy rooted in Polynesia, making sustainability practices an innate aspect of our personal and professional way of life.

Customer & Employee Evaluation
We take a dynamic approach to our tour operations, responding, and adjusting to issues as needed. We reach out to our ever-growing community of guests, building on their experience feedback so we can continue to thrive.
We take pride in our tours, highlighting positive feedback and great guest experiences, and the hardworking staff gets rewarded. We strive to continue improving the quality of our services and keep our clientele satisfied.

Marketing Execution
With cultural respect a priority, we remain transparent with our guests as we escort them through local communities. Our tours, marketing, and narrative adhere to a policy of honesty with our guests. Our operations strive not to impact our islands and the communities’ cultures negatively.

Community Engagement
We work closely with the local community to improve cultural engagement and enhance the protection of the islands’ natural resources. We proudly support organizations that shine a light on historical, cultural, and social growth and awareness.
