Description
The awe-inspiring and history of Pearl Harbor makes this tour a “must see” part of any Hawai'i vacation. The tour includes all airfare, transportation and entrance fees necessary to experience the Arizona Memorial and the USS Missouri battleship at Pearl Harbor. All outer island flights to Honolulu are less than 1 hour and you will be greeted at the airport by our friendly tour guides. We will transport you in our air-conditioned tour vehicles to Pearl Harbor while our guides provide expert narration into the historical locations you’ll see throughout the day.
Because you're visiting Pearl Harbor with us, you’ll skip the long ticket lines once we arrive, giving you 4 ½ hours to explore the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, the USS Arizona Memorial and the USS Missouri Battleship Museum.
Afterwards, our expert guides will continue your tour in our custom tour vehicles to Punchbowl National Cemetery where various monuments and displays tell the story of those lost in defending their nation. We’ll continue to historic Honolulu's locations and buildings, including 'Iolani Palace, the King Kamehameha Statue, and the "Hawaii 5-O Headquarters", the Supreme Court Building. We will drive by many places and stop at the statue in the center of it all. From there your guide will return you to the airport for your 30-40-minute flight back to the neighbor islands. Choose to add on guided transportation from your accommodations to the airport as part of your tour. This is a great day trip to O'ahu.
*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.

No stop is guaranteed to be operating on the day of your tour.

In the event of this occurring, our guides will make up for it in a variety of ways so your experience is always worthwhile.
