We had to hurry to the train, and then buy Dole Whip. No time to look in shop or around grounds. Our snorkeling beach was too rocky to really enjoy the beach.”

“I was disappointed to not get tickets to the Arizona memorial with the trip as the advertising is very misleading. The trip needs to be clearer about having to get your tickets before you arrive or you are in the standby line. We did manage to get to see everything we wanted and it was a full day, we arrived at 9, went on the standby list at 9:15am and got on the 11:30am boat. We managed to see everything but the bowfin sub and came back to that after the Missouri and aircraft museum. We did rush through the aircraft hanger so if you want to take more time…”

“It was okay. The views are great. But the bus in noisy and bumpy added to a very windy day. It goes and returns the same way so if you want to get off on the way back that is good. The the scenic tour of the coast in a van is a much better option as you stop at more view points and the ride is more comfortable. You get what you pay for. I would not recommend it at less you want to get off at one if the stops.”
