Hotel pickup is included. This is a hotel-pickup tour, not a meet-on-site outing. The coach collects you from Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort and other select Waikiki hotels, then drops you at the same hotel. You will be contacted the day before to confirm the exact pickup time and meeting spot. Be at the pickup point at least 10 minutes early.

Extra pickup notes for couples staying in Waikiki: wait at the posted hotel pickup point, not at Pearl Harbor and not on a side street. The driver cannot meet guests outside the designated hotel pickup areas. There is no space in the coach for luggage, so this is not a transfer day — leave suitcases at the resort. No bags of any kind, brand, or size are allowed into the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. Clear see-through bags are the exception. If you bring a bag, you will have to check it at visitor-center storage, which costs extra and can cost you memorial time.

This morning is Day 3 on the Oahu and Maui couples vacation — hotel pickup is from Hilton Hawaiian Village before the island hop to Maui.
