USS Arizona Memorial
The USS Arizona Memorial is at the top of most visitors' trips to Oahu. (We will provide instructions to help reserve your tickets on your own.) Watch a historical video, with footage from the day the battleship sank, trapping over a thousand sailors inside. Next board a Navy shuttle boat for a ride across the harbor to the Arizona Memorial. View the sunken battleship from the memorials deck and step inside the solemn room of the "Wall of Remembrance" where all 1,177 names of the fallen Arizona sailors are etched in marble.
Historic Honolulu
Depending on the time you choose to do your helicopter tour, that will limit how far you can drive and explore the island of Oahu.

Attire & Bag Policy
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.
Dress comfortably for the weather but keep in mind that shoes and shirts are required on the USS Arizona Memorial.
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.
