Pearl Harbor and Oahu Tour From Maui, Kauai or Big Island

Tour Highlights

Tour Description

Start your day with a hotel or airport pickup (for those coming in from the outer islands) at about 6:30am. Next, we travel directly to the World War II Valor In The Pacific National Monument that is home to the USS Arizona Memorial and the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. Then we’ll watch a short Pearl Harbor documentary video, take a boat ride and explore the museum exhibits.

After seeing Pearl Harbor we begin a 120 mile journey around the island of Oahu, seeing places like the Pacific Historic Parks, Dole Pineapple Pavilion, numerous beaches, farms, food trucks, markets, towns and legendary North Shore surfing spots. Along the way we include stops at popular lookouts like Nu’uanu Pali as well as plenty of beautiful overlooks on our day long journey.

After a full day circling the island we bring you back to the airport to catch your flight around 5:30pm.

Please ask us here if you have any questions.

*Parking: Beginning April 15, 2023, Pearl Harbor National Memorial will charge a parking fee to all those arriving in personal or rented vehicles. The parking fee will be $7/day and will be paid via a virtual pay system through visitors' mobile devices or though an onsite kiosk located within the Visitor Center complex.

No stop is guaranteed to be operating on the day of your tour.
