We recommend booking your Pearl Harbor tours in advance of your arrival to Hawai’i. Pearl Harbor is our #1 visitor destination and sells out on certain days of the week. We recommend that you book your tour for either the 1st day of your arrival or the 2nd full day after. Our guests usually get up early in the morning the first or second day due to an early morning arrival or the time difference, so you’re usually wide awake by the time your tour starts.
Your tour guide will also point out numerous not-to-be-missed highlights on Oahu as you are being driven to the different sites and overlooks on tour. These are sites we don’t stop at on our tour but you’ll probably want to visit later during your stay. Oahu has a lot of amazing and beautiful places to see, but unfortunately we can’t fit them all into a full-day tour – or we would! *Safety is our #1 priority. Sites & features of our tours can change due to adverse weather and other unforeseen circumstances.
Dress comfortably but please remember that shirts and shoes are required on the USS Arizona Memorial; swimsuits not permitted. Bags are not allowed in Pearl Harbor Visitor Center but if needed may be checked and stored for $3.00 per item.

** Due to ceremonies honoring the attacks of December 7, 1941, we will not operate tours to Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial on December 7, each year. **
The first stop on the tour is the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center where you can learn all about the attacks that occurred on December 7th, 1941. Take some time to browse the historical displays throughout the visitor center to learn more about the events that took place that day as well as the events that lead to the United States entering into WWII. An audio narration that covers 29 important areas within the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center in 9 languages is available. And, of course, there are plenty of souvenirs to bring back home. (All purchases help keep these facilities operational and updated.) You’ll be also able to purchase lunch / snacks from the food vendors and spend some time relaxing while you enjoy your meal.
It’s a quick trip over to the USS Arizona memorial aboard a U.S. Navy launch from the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. The memorial lets you view the USS Arizona under the water below you. Within the USS Arizona lie the 1,177 heroes who lost their lives on the “Day of Infamy.” The memorial is a solemn and beautiful tribute to those who lost their lives. Want to truly understand the gravity of the events that happened on that fateful day? Visiting the memorial, witnessing the destruction, knowing that those who died in the name of freedom remain beneath you while the U.S. flag still waves at half-staff will certainly help bring it all into perspective. It’s a history buff’s dream tour.
Now, you’ll take a quick trip to Ford Island for the next leg of our guided tour. You’ll be welcomed aboard the deck of the USS Missouri. She was the last battleship built by the US Navy and is affectionately referred to as “Might Mo.” The USS Missouri is famous because Japan signed their surrender on her deck while it was in Tokyo Bay. During the tour you’ll be able to walk the deck of Mighty Mo as your tour guide tells you all about this great battleship and her legacy. You’re invited to stand in the exact spot where representatives of the Empire of Japan signed the Japanese Instrument of Surrender on September 2nd, 1945 marking the end of World War II.
After experiencing Pearl Harbor, you’ll be taken on a narrated driving tour of downtown Honolulu. During the tour you’ll have your curiosity peaked by:
– Iolani Palace, the only royal palace on American soil
– Kawaiahao Church (one of the oldest Christian churches in Hawaii)
– An 18 foot statue of King Kamehameha (Hawaii’s first king)
– Honolulu Hale (Honolulu City Hall)
These beautiful, historical sites come to life thanks to the expert narration and local knowledge that your driver shares with you while you enjoy your tour of Honolulu city.
No tour of Honolulu’s rich history would be complete without visiting Punchbowl Cemetery. Also known as the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, Punchbowl Cemetery is one of Hawaii’s most popular tourist attractions and serves as a memorial to the men and women of the United States Armed Forces who lost their lives. During the scenic drive you’ll be able to view the meticulous landscaping at the cemetery while you reflect on the beauty and reverence that is felt throughout the entire area. While driving through Punchbowl Cemetery you’ll also get to view Courts of the Missing and the chapel.
