This memorable, informative tour will leave you with a deeper insight into these pieces of American history.
Your USS Arizona Memorial tour will start at the Visitor Center. Spend some time browsing through informative displays and exhibits where you’ll learn more about the events that propelled the U.S. into WWII. The expansive grounds have interpretive signs, displays and memorials all along a walkway at the water’s edge. The pathway leads visitors through stories about Pearl Harbor from ancient Hawaiian times, through WWII world events and into today. You can also grab a bite to eat at the food vendors and relax at the snack areas of the Visitor Center.
Begin your trip to the Arizona Memorial by watching an informative documentary film about the Japanese attack with before, during and after photos and film footage of that fateful day and the events that led up to it. The boat ride to the memorial is just a few minutes long. The memorial was built over the remains of the sunken battleship allowing visitors to honor and reflect on the heroes of that “Day of Infamy”. Read the names etched into the white marble wall listing all 1,177 sailors and marines who died that day on the USS Arizona. Keep an eye out for the “Black Tears” of oil on the surface that leak from the Arizona’s hull to this day.
The next stop on your adventure is a one-hour guided tour of the battleship USS Missouri. Towering some 8 stories high above it’s berth at Battleship Row on Ford Island, this mighty battleship stands as a reminder of the industrial might America mobilized for its ultimate victory against the Japanese in the Pacific. Witness the impressive armaments of the “Mighty Mo” while walking the decks. On the deck visitors can stand at the exact spot where the Japanese signed the articles of surrendered in September of 1945. Explore the tight hallways, cramped crews quarters and impressive displays of war rooms and battle maps deep in the interior of the ship. It’s an amazing look back into military life at sea during World War 2!
As part of our tour day, we take a trip around historic Honolulu, making stops at various overlooks and points of interest. Our tour drives us through the Punchbowl Cemetery, located in a crater near downtown. We then make our way past a number of historic and culturally important statues including one of King Kamehameha the Great, which stands tall in front of the state supreme court building across from the only royal palace in the United States.

Any inter-island tour or Oahu tours originating from the Islands of Maui, Big Island, and Kauai may incur up to $100.00 per person airline change fee (if flights are included in your tour) for any changes to the original booking (this is currently being waived by airlines). Any request for a refund prior to 72 hours will result in a full credit for a future tour and the credit for airline flights is only in reserved names.
Travel Insurance: A cash refund is available on tours with flights when you purchase the travel insurance (available during the booking process) and you have an emergency or had some unforeseen issue occur prior to 72 hours to your tour start date. No refunds are issued for any tours canceled or changed (even with insurance) within the 72-hour period, prior to the start of your tour.
Please dress comfortably and respectfully. Shirts and shoes are required at the USS Arizona Memorial. Swimsuits are not permitted along with bags or backpacks within the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. If needed bags may be stored at the Visitor Center for $3.00 per item.
Please bring your government-issued ID for entry.
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 $6.00 per bag or $7.50 per bag for more oversized luggage.
Thank you for helping us maintain a respectful and secure environment for all visitors.
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.
