You said: Aloha! My name is Luis, but everyone calls me Lui. I’m a fourth-generation Portuguese descendant, born and raised right here on the island of Oʻahu. My roots run deep—my family was part of the storied Hawaiian sugar industry, and my father, a U.S. Navy sailor, met my mother while stationed at Pearl Harbor. Growing up along the shores of Pearl Harbor, I developed a lifelong fascination with World War II Pacific history and the unique heritage of our island. After serving as a submariner in the U.S. Navy myself, I went on to earn a degree in U.S. History with a focus on the Pacific region. Being from Oʻahu, I’ve been lucky to hear firsthand stories passed down through generations—including accounts of the December 7, 1941, attack, as told by my grandfather who was on base that day. As a passionate storyteller with over 7 years experience as a tour guide, I love sharing these powerful narratives with those eager to learn—whether we’re tracing the events leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor or exploring the hidden history along the North Shore. Join me, and let’s bring history to life together. Mahalo, Lui

Overview of your Honolulu tour

Experience Pearl Harbor with a Veteran and Historian With over 8 years of professional tour guiding experience, I’ve launched my own venture rooted in a lifelong connection to Pearl Harbor. I grew up on its shores with my father in the Navy, later serving myself in the 1990s. Both my grandparents witnessed the attack—my grandfather from the base itself. I hold a History degree from the University of Hawaii and have studied WWII history my entire life. Let me personally guide you through the museums and historic landmarks, sharing stories from a deeply personal and historical perspective. This is an All Day tour including access to Pacific Fleet Submarine Museum, Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum (Including ATC Tower) and USS Missouri. With exclusive access to Ford Island, we’ll skip the public shuttle and travel in the comfort of my private vehicle. This immersive tour brings the pivotal moments of World War II to life and offers a deeper understanding of the lasting impact on global relations today.
