Discover Hawaii Tour company focus is to provide the best vacation experiences to our Hawaii visitors. We are not a reseller we are a tour operator specializing in Pearl Harbor Tour, Circle Island Tours, Road to Hana & Volcano Eco Adventure in Maui, Oahu, Kauai and Hawaii Big Island.
Q: What are the biggest challenges for guest on finding and choosing a Pearl Harbor tours that is best for them?
A: OMG! There so many fake websites selling Pearl Harbor Tours that is really hard for the consumer to choose not only the right tour for them from a real tour provider with all the state and federal permits
For this resellers, their focus is to make a fast buck and sell you a Pearl Harbor Tour with company legal or not that pays them a commission.
A visit to Pearl Harbor is an experience of a lifetime to to see a WWII battleground and the location where so many people died because of the surprise attack by Japan. This is event forced the USA to enter the most devastating War in the history of mankind.
Q: What made you create Discover Hawaii Tours?
A: When I got out of the USA Army, I decided to state in Hawaii because I had fallen in love with the islands and with now wife. I really wanted to share with visitors how much of Pearl Harbor has in our great country. I have always been fascinated with WWII in the Pacific and wanted to share it an interesting. Were i will capture and educate the young, remind the old of those days. And also to fulfill the WWII history buff all to one time.
Q: Couldn’t you just use any Pearl harbor tours selling websites to book your Pearl Harbor Tickets? The Pearl Harbor Visitors Center site –is easy to use? If not, why not?
A: any of the websites that sell Pearl Harbor tours can be used, but they just are selling any tour and the visitors do not know who will be providing their tour, what type of bus, what package are they really baying, how many historical sites they will be visiting. All they want to do is get your credit card and book you in anything.
They know that Pearl Harbor for most people is a one time experience, so they are not concern about you experience because the guest will not be baying another Perl Harbor Tours. As USS Veteran, we are very proud of what we do and we want our guest to really learn and experience this incredible historical site as they honor, understand and respect the heroes of December 7th, 1941 the day Japan attacked the USA forcing our country to go into WWII.
Q: How many Historical Sites Pearl Harbor Has?
The Pearl Harbor Visitors Center Site focus only in one of the four historical site, the Arizona Memorial. The other important historical sites consists of the Battleship Missouri ( impressive battleship and historical location where the Japan Surrender ending WWII), the Bowfin Submarine (the most decorated WWII submarine with a fascinating collection of WWII memorabilia) and the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum (the largest aviation museum in the Pacific showcasing an impressive collection of aircrafts from WWII to the Gulf War) .
Q: What about using the hotel’s concierge to book your Pearl Harbor Tours?
A: There is many issues with this solution. First, most concierges at the hotels work for commission and they are also interested in booking the guest with the company that pays them the higher commissions. Usually, the company they use uses large 6o passengers buses that can’t provide a memorable experience. They totally move you like cattle. Not the experience you want for your vacation in Hawaii and a Pearl Harbor Tour.
Keep in mind that most concierges on Hawaii are just employees of companies the sell tours and are there just to book you on the tours the pays them the most. They are not there to inform you or provide the services that you can expect from a concierge. Most of them are not “NCA Certified Concierge” and do not have the consistency of Concierge services excellence.
Q: There are a lot of companies and websites selling on the web. What are the challenges of using those companies and to find and book the Pearl Harbor that is right for the visitor?
A: There over 300 websites booking and selling Pearl Harbor tickets and tour out there. There is close to 100 companies claiming that they operate pearl harbors tours, yet most of these companies and websites are resellers, most of them not even in Oahu, Hawaii.
Most websites are reselling Pearl Harbor tickets and tours from the operator that gives them the higher commission including operators that do not have all the required local, state and federal permits to operate tours. The owners of these websites are not even active in supporting Pearl Harbor and veterans organizations
These websites are just misleading the consumer and making it more difficult for visitors to choose the right Pearl Harbor tour. We honestly do like to help our visitors choose the right Pearl Harbor tour for them based on what they want to experience, the amount of time they want to spent at the WWI Valor in the Pacific National Monument ( Pearl Harbor Visitor Center) and at the other three historical sites.
