Pearl Harbor comes first before Dole's store and a North Shore drive to the Polynesian Cultural Center.
- 120 min
1. Pearl Harbor Visitor Center
The visitor center exhibits and documentary explain the attack and its effects before you continue around the island.
- 60 min
2. USS Arizona Memorial
Boat access depends on advance tickets or standby space. At the memorial, you can see the wreck and the wall naming those lost.
- 60 min
3. Dole Plantation

- pass by
4. North Shore
You pass the North Shore's surf beaches on the coastal drive toward the villages in Laie.
- 180 min
5. Polynesian Cultural Center
You explore villages representing Pacific island cultures. Demonstrations and performances introduce daily life and traditions.
- 30 min
6. Kualoa Regional Park
The beach park gives you a view of Mokolii offshore with the Kualoa mountain range behind the coast.
Dole's store has 1 hour, followed by 3 hours for the villages. The full circuit lasts 9 to 10 hours and ends back in Waikiki.
Pickup and meeting point
- Waikiki meeting: Your ride begins at a selected Waikiki pickup location. The exact place arrives by text or email the day before.
- Earlier collection: The 7 a.m. tour time isn't your meeting time. Pickup can begin 30 minutes or more beforehand, so the message sets your arrival time.
- Walking shoes: Wear comfortable shoes for the walking between stops. Swimwear isn't allowed on this tour.
- Cash for food: Bring cash for food trucks and roadside shops. Some stops accept cash only, and meals are your expense.
Before you book
- Village admission doesn't cover the evening show or dinner. Your daytime meals also cost extra.
Fit
Is this tour right for you?
The 3 hour village visit makes this a fit for daytime Polynesian Cultural Center plans. You also want Pearl Harbor on the same day. It's a long outing with up to 15 guests. You need to manage four city blocks on foot.
Mini Circle Island costs from $157.74 per adult if you prefer Haleiwa and coastal sightseeing to the villages. Karma's Arizona and Missouri tour keeps your day focused on Pearl Harbor for 6 hours from $149 per adult.
Who it's not for
- Travelers expecting the Cultural Center's evening show
- Anyone unable to walk four city blocks
- Visitors who require a guaranteed Arizona ticket
Good to know
Know before you go
You need to be able to walk four city blocks for this itinerary. Much of the tour is on foot. Comfortable shoes matter during the village visit as well as your time at Pearl Harbor.
Child tickets cover ages 3 through 11, and infants are in the 0 to 2 band. Infant seats are available. A single booking accepts up to 15 travelers, with an adult required in the party.
Keep the morning before the advertised start clear for pickup. Collection can begin 30 minutes or more before 7 a.m. The day-before message gives your location and time, rather than a fixed hotel-door appointment.
Bring cash for roadside food and purchases along the route. Some local sellers don't take cards. Your meals aren't included, and the Cultural Center portion doesn't extend to its evening dinner or show.
Advance Arizona tickets and standby seats both depend on availability. A place on the boat isn't assured. Stormy weather can also close sites, so the tour may need changes after you have joined the vehicle.
You receive an immediate booking with a mobile tour ticket. Cancellation at least 24 hours before departure qualifies for a full refund. Later cancellation doesn't, and a separate minimum-traveler condition has no published headcount in this package.

People also ask
- What does the Pearl Harbor and Polynesian Cultural Center tour cost?
The day starts from $199.99 per adult with village admission and Waikiki transport included. You travel for 9 to 10 hours. Food is a separate expense, so your lunch budget sits outside the tour price.
- Does this Polynesian Cultural Center tour include the evening show?
No, the included Cultural Center visit is 3 hours in the villages. Dinner and the evening performance aren't covered. The tour combines that daytime visit with Pearl Harbor, rather than providing an evening ticket package.
- Are Arizona tickets guaranteed on Aloha Sunshine's Cultural Center tour?
No, neither advance tickets nor standby space is guaranteed. The van holds up to 15 guests, but that group size doesn't reserve seats on an Arizona boat. You can still visit the waterfront if no crossing is available.
- Can travelers with limited walking ability take the Cultural Center tour?
The route isn't recommended if you can't walk four city blocks. It involves extensive walking during a 9 to 10 hour day. The long van journey doesn't mean the attraction visits can be completed from your seat.
- Can families bring strollers on the Arizona boat during this tour?
No, strollers stay on shore while families visit Arizona. Infants must still count in the boat reservation. The tour accepts children ages 0 to 2, with infant seats available for its road transport.
