No visit to Oahu is complete without a visit to the Arizona Memorial. Come and pay your respects to the fallen and get up close to a piece of real history. The world forever changed here, on December 7, 1941. The immensity of that moment can still be felt by those that come to see the Arizona. Peer through the water to see the hull of the sunken battleship and view the names of those lost on the Remembrance Wall.
This experience includes USS Missouri tour tickets. The "Mighty Mo" floating museum admission is included with this tour. Enjoy a guided deck tour aboard the USS Missouri before exploring on your own! See this famous battleship from top to bottom. The Missouri served for more than 50 years in several wars and conflicts, and is one of the most celebrated vessels in United States history. See the best of the harbor while you're here too. The area is lovely.
The bridge to Ford Island offers views that will show you a grand perspective of the harbor. This still-active military base is home to Battleship Row where the USS Missouri, a battleship is docked. This floating museum marks the end of World War 2 in the Pacific as the Japanese Articles of Surrender was signed on the deck of the “Mighty Mo” in Tokyo Bay in September of 1945.
Explore the main deck as the huge turret guns tower overhead. Stand in the spot where the Japanese surrender documents were signed, then venture below deck where you’ll get a first-hand look at what life on board was like on a Navy battleship during WWII.
One of our first stops is the USS Arizona Memorial. This part of the tour begins with a documentary film in the theater about the Japanese attack and the events that led up to it. It includes actual footage and photos of that fateful day when over 2,400 Navy, Marine, Army, and civilian personnel lost their lives in a surprise attack.
Afterward, board a Navy ship that will cross the harbor to the Arizona Memorial which is suspended over (without touching) the sunken battleship. It is a somber experience to see the marble “Wall of Remembrance” listing the 1,177 souls who died when the battleship's armory exploded when hit on December 7th, 1941, most of whom are interned in the sunken ship below your feet.
Our tour starts at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. Here you can explore multiple informative displays, exhibits, and interactive signs, along an extensive walkway within the visitor center grounds. Guests can learn in detail about the Japanese attack, the U.S. battles and sacrifices in the Pacific and even what Pearl Harbor was like in ancient times, a period of history that is fascinating but rarely talked about. The Visitor Center is also where you can get lunch or snacks on your own.
After experiencing Pearl Harbor, you’ll be taken on a narrated tour of downtown Honolulu by van, where you’ll be able to see and learn more about Hawaiʻi’s history and culture. During the tour, you’ll get to see and learn about several amazing locations, including:
These beautiful, historical sites come to life thanks to the expert narration and local knowledge that your driver shares with you while you enjoy your tour of Honolulu city.
No tour of Honolulu’s rich history would be complete without visiting the Punchbowl Cemetery. Also known as the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, the Punchbowl Cemetery is one of Hawaiʻi’s most popular destinations due to its serene atmosphere and beautiful views of the city. This clam and solemn location serves as a memorial to the men and women of the United States Armed Forces who sacrificed their lives.
During the scenic drive you’ll be able to view the meticulous landscaping at the cemetery while you reflect on the beauty and reverence that can be felt throughout the entire area. While driving through the Punchbowl Cemetery you’ll also get to view the Courts of the Missing and the chapel.

The Arizona Memorial is one of the most famous destinations on all of Hawaiʻi. The Japanese surprise attack in December of 1941 profoundly changed the United States and the world. The expansive visitor center exhibits pay tribute to that infamous day in when the United States entered World War 2 and shares a fascinating look back into a bygone era of 1940’s Hawaiʻi and a country at war. The Arizona is the final resting place for many of the 1,177 crewmen who lost their lives on December 7, 1941, when their ship was bombed by the Japanese. The USS Arizona was one of eight battleships stationed at Pearl Harbor that fateful day.
The Battleship Missouri also pays tribute to those lost during World War II. On its decks, visitors can see the spot where Japan signed its formal surrender, effectively ending World War 2. You will have the opportunity to explore the inside of the “Mighty Mo” multiple decks, galleys, rooms, and guns.
Afterward, we head out from the harbor for a great view of the city from Punchbowl – the National Cemetery of the Pacific. Then, we head to our final stop in downtown Honolulu to check out the King Kamehameha Statue and other nearby historic buildings including ʻIolani Palace.
