Your guide will wait for you, curbside at HNL, and have you back in time for your return flight that same day. We’ll take care of all transportation on Oahu, (unless you are doing self-guided touring).
**Please Note: Guest is responsible for their transportation from Big Island accommodations to airport on the Big Island, and back. PHT can make these arrangements for you, if needed.
When Should I Book My Pearl Harbor Tour From Kona or Hilo?
There are limited flights each day from these airports, which means the best flight times sell out quickly.
We want to maximize your day on Oahu, so the sooner we know you want to go, the better. Definitely book before you arrive on the Big Island. Don’t wait!

Bags are not allowed inside of Pearl Harbor for safety reasons, so please bring cash to check each bag at the entrance for $7.00 (smaller bags) and $10.00 (larger bags).
Or, make arrangements with our team, to securely hold onto your luggage if you are planning to continue onto another island, instead of returning back to the Big Island.
