USS Arizona Memorial

After the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, it’s only a short trip to the USS Arizona Memorial aboard a U.S. Navy launch. The memorial was constructed to view the USS Arizona under the water beneath you. Within the USS Arizona lie the 1,177 unsuspecting heroes who died on that horrible “Day of Infamy.” If you look for it, you will see an oil sheen on the water. This sheen of oil has been dubbed the “Black Tears of Pearl Harbor,” and 82 years later, there is still a slow leak of this oil from the hull of the USS Arizona. All of the 1,177 crew members’ names interred on the USS Arizona are etched in stone and on display. The memorial is a serene and moving honor to those lost that day. Visiting the ships, the memorial; witnessing the disastrous attack footage… observe the US flag at half-staff to honor those who gave their lives for our freedom and who still remain certainly helps to bring it into a realistic view. Explore the US’s role in world history, up close and personal.

Availability

We recommend booking your Pearl Harbor & Honolulu tours in advance of your arrival to Hawaii. Pearl Harbor is our #1 visitor destination and will sell out on certain days of the week. Book your tour for the 1st or 2nd full day after your arrival. Our guests usually get up early in the morning due to the time difference, so you're usually wide awake by the time your tour starts. Your tour guide will point out highlights that you should not miss in O'ahu. * Tour features and stops are weather and safety permitting.

Our total time at Pearl Harbor is about three hours or longer if you want to continue visiting other sites, such as the USS Missouri or the Pacific Aviation Museum, or we can explore the Island of O'ahu. All our guides providing Honolulu private tours share valuable information to make your vacation overall better! Remember, this is your private O'ahu tour, and after our stop at Pearl Harbor, you get to determine the itinerary. Of course, your guide can suggest several “must-see” places on the Island of O'ahu, but the stops are entirely up to you!

Private Tour pickup from anywhere on O'ahu is included in the price from Waikiki Hotels.

Outside of Waikiki, there is an extra charge per group. The fee for pickup and return to the cruise ship pier, Honolulu International Airport, Turtle Bay Resort, Ko Olina, or Airbnb Vacation Rental on O'ahu is $100.00 per group.

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.

No refunds are issued for any tours within the 72-hour period prior to the start of your tour.

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

In the event of this occurring, our guides will make up for it in a variety of ways, so your experience is always worthwhile.

The HTA tour guides also have their DIBDS ID (Defense Biometric Identification System), making them certified to drive tour vehicles across Admiral Clarey Bridge on to Ford Island to visit the USS Missouri and Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum.
