We booked a tour and flew from the big island down. Papa P picked us up from the airport and it was great! We had so much fun and he was full of information! He really made it a wonderful trip, thank you Papa P!

The best guide I’ve ever had

Papa P was the best guide and we were lucky to have him. He walked us through the PCC and gave tons of information about Pearl Harbor. The last tour we took with another company the guide never left the bus so this was an amazing experience. If you are going to book with Sunshine Tours ask for Papa P as your tour guide
