Tour Description
The day starts with pickup from Honolulu airport. Our expert guides will give you an overview of the day with a narration of the rich history of both Pearl Harbor and Honolulu. Upon arrival, we’ll escort you to the visitor center where admission tickets are fast-tracked – no waiting in line! Enjoy exploring the museums, informative displays, artifacts and memorials that tell the story of the attack on Pearl Harbor in and around the Visitor Center. After watching a short film we’ll board a Navy shuttle boat for transport to the Arizona Memorial. Feel the solemn respect given to the fallen at the memorial’s “Wall of Remembrance”. Stroll the gleaming white structure that is suspended, but not touching, the sunken battleship below.
After our return, a short walk brings us to the USS Bowfin Submarine. Explore the boat inside and out, trying to imagine how 70 men lived aboard for months at a time! Next, we’ll head over to Ford Island and board one of the most famous battleships of WW2 – the USS Missouri. Walk underneath the colossal 16-inch guns, see the “surrender deck” where Japan signed the articles of surrender – ending WW2! Go below deck and learn about life at sea during wartime.
The final stop at Ford Island is the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum. These two hangars survived the Japanese attack and the windows still have bullet holes from that fateful day. There are over 50 vintage aircraft including fighters and bombers used on the WW2 Pacific war front as well as jet fighters, bombers, and helicopters from the Korean and Vietnam wars. Enjoy a simulator dogfight in a P-40 Warhawk, see the interactive displays and exhibits and grab a bite to eat at the Laniakea Cafe.
Before returning to the airport we’ll take you on a historic driving tour of Honolulu. See King Kamehameha’s Statue and Iolani Palace, to name a few, during a leisurely narrated tour in our custom vehicles. It’s a great way to end a full day at Pearl Harbor!

Pearl Harbor is our #1 visitor destination and can sell out on certain days. We recommend booking your Pearl Harbor tours in advance of your arrival in Hawaii. Also, consider booking your full day on Oahu close to your arrival date in the islands. There is an early start time for this tour but we find that due to the time difference most of our guests are wide awake in the early mornings.
*Safety is our #1 priority. Sites & features of our tours can change due to adverse weather and other unforeseen circumstances.

No meals are included in this tour. Food and drinks are available for purchase throughout the day at the Visitor Center, on the USS Missouri and at Laniakea Cafe in the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum.

Cancellation Policy
Tours With Flights Must Purchase Trip Insurance
In the event of cancellation or request change to your reservation, please note the following if you purchase trip insurance there is no charge for date change or tour change based on tour availability but must be made 72 hours prior to the original tour day. No refunds issued for any tours within the 72-hour period, prior to the start of your flights.
Pearl Harbor Tours that include airline flights from Maui, Big Island of Hawaii, or Kauai can qualify for a refund if guests add the $15 per person insurance during checkout. If you do not purchase insurance, there are no refunds for cancellations or no-shows. Rescheduling fees will be applied to change your dates. Tickets are non-transferrable.
No stop is guaranteed to be operating on the day of your tour. We have no control of Navy and Army operations which may result in the closure of Ford Island or the boats going to the Arizona Memorial without notice. In the event of this occurring, our guides will make up for it in a variety of ways so your experience is always worthwhile.

While there is no official dress code to visit the Pearl Harbor Historic Sites, we ask visitors to dress appropriately and respectfully. Swimsuits are not acceptable. High heels, skirts, and dresses are also not recommended. Flip-flops and sandals are permitted; however, we encourage you to wear closed-toe shoes as there is a lot of walking when visiting the Pearl Harbor Historic Sites.

*Note: Due to unforeseeable circumstances, the Navy may need to suspend boat operations to the USS Arizona Memorial at any time, or they may impose a capacity restriction on the boat. As a result, you may be placed in a standby line. Unfortunately, in these cases, there will be no refunds. You are still free to enjoy the Visitor’s Center, exhibits, and park monuments. Please accept our apologies in advance.
