Tour Description
Our small-group tours of 12 passengers or less start with hotel pickup in Waikiki daily. (For Ko Olina or Turtle Bay hotels, please check the schedule.)
Your friendly tour guide will drive you all around Honolulu in our very comfortable, Mercedes sprinter vans. We take you directly to Pearl Harbor where you will spend almost 4.5-hours exploring the areaʻs attractions.
The first stop is the Visitor Center where you can interact with various exhibits at the museums before entering the theatre to watch a documentary. After the film, a Navy launch will take you on a short boat tour on itʻs way out to the Arizona Memorial. You will have about 15-minutes to enjoy the view and pay your respects. You will see nearby, along battleship row, Missouri. The next stop on our tour.
Battleship Missouri, a floating museum marks the end of the war on itʻs famous Surrender Deck. Here the articles to end the war with Japan were signed when the ship was anchored in Tokyo Bay. You will have the opportunity to explore the inside of the “Mighty Mo” multiple decks, galleys, rooms and guns. You can easily get lost inside this huge ship so having a guide is great!
Afterward, we head out from the harbour for a great view of the city from Punchbowl. We drive through the Cemetery of the Pacific on our way to our final stop in downtown Honolulu to check out the King Kamehameha Statue and other nearby historic buildings.
We return you to your hotel and condo after a wonderful 7-hour experience. Throughout the tour, if you are hungry, food is available on the dock or back at the Visitor Center. There is a cooler of ice-cold drinks in the van too. At the Visitor Center, you will be offered an audio-app for use to hear in greater detail explanations about the places you visit. Available in 9 languages.
Please ask us here if you have any questions.
