Arizona Memorial And Bowfin Submarine Features
Arizona Memorial
A visit to the Arizona memorial is something that everyone who goes to Oʻahu should do. The immensity of the ship and the reality of what happened at this very spot so many years ago hit home in a way that they can't from just reading about the events in a book. It's a moving experience.
Step back in time and get up close to this incredible moment in time. The enormity of the loss, of the impact, is something that can really change a person's perspective. You deserve to see this for yourself, and the world needs to remember what it represents.
Pacific Fleet Museum
The Pacific Fleet Museum is dedicated to the Silent Service, the submariners throughout history who fought and died for the country. It highlights the innovations we have made over the years from the first submarines during the civil war to the high-tech nuclear submarines of today.
World War II marked a tremendous period of change for wartime technology, and you will really feel that as you see all of the developments that were made. Take in the fascinating designs and innovative tricks that were created during the fight to win the largest war in human history.
Pearl Harbor Visitors Center
The visitor center has a lot of great exhibits, a gift shop, a food stand, and more. Take time to explore the two World War II museums. They have a lot of great examples, pictures, charts, and items. Use the APP to learn site details when you are exploring on your own.
There is no better place to get information, and as is always the case, your guide can be a font of information too. Ask questions when you need to, though please do keep to a respectful volume.

Description
We begin the day by picking you up from your accommodation in Waikīkī or nearby. Your guide will have already contacted you with the estimated time and meeting point, possibly even sending a text showing their exact location. You'll be greeted with a warm smile and aloha. Feel free to ask any questions throughout the tour.
On this small group tour, we'll travel through the city and head straight to Pearl Harbor. Your guide will provide your tickets and, if desired, an audio guide, along with instructions on how to make the most of the Arizona Memorial Program. You'll have time to explore until it's time to board the boat.
The experience on the Arizona Memorial is solemn, as it serves as a war grave for many. We observe respectful silence during our visit, and you can use the audio guide to learn about the significance of the memorial.
After returning to shore, we'll walk along the coast, exploring pathways lined with various historical exhibits and items. Take your time to capture photos and deepen your understanding of World War II as we make our way to the Pacific Fleet Submarine Museum and the USS Bowfin.
Explore artifacts from our nation's submarine fleet and hear stories of heroism, triumph, and occasional misadventures. Outside the museum, there's a covered courtyard with seating and food options, offering a pleasant view of the harbor. The outdoor exhibits are designed to be engaging for children, who are encouraged to interact with them.

Instructions
We ask that visitors to the Pearl Harbor Historic Sites dress appropriately and respectfully by avoiding swimsuits. While sandals and flip-flops are permitted, we encourage you to wear closed-toe shoes as there is a lot of walking when visiting the sites. In addition, we recommend visitors avoid skirts and dresses as well as high heels.
No bags are allowed for security reasons, and iPad cases or clutch wallets are not permitted either — a wallet must be no larger than a regular-sized cell phone. The bag storage facility can store your belongings for a fee of $7.00 per bag or $10.00 per bag for more oversized luggage.
Thank you for helping us maintain a respectful and secure environment for all visitors.
It must be a clear bag approved by the US Navy, like the ones pictured below, and measure no more than 1.25" x 2.25" x 5.5".


*Note: Infrequently, due to circumstances beyond our control, the Navy may suspend boat operations to the USS Arizona Memorial, or they may need to restrict boat capacity. In these cases, we may place you in a standby line. We cannot offer refunds in this situation and apologize in advance should this occur. You would still be able to visit the exhibits, the Visitors’ Center, and other park monuments.

In the event of cancellation or request for a change to your reservation, please note the following. For tours originating from Oahu, there is no charge for date change or tour change based on tour availability, but it must be made 72 hours prior to the original tour day. No refunds are issued for any tours within the 72 hours prior to the start of your tour.
No stop is guaranteed to be operating on the day of your tour. We have no control of Navy and Army operations, which may result in the closure of Ford Island or the boats going to the Arizona Memorial without notice. In the event of this occurring, our guides will make up for it in a variety of ways, so your experience is always worthwhile.
