PASSPORT FEATURES
Pearl Harbor Visitor Center
Your passport can be picked up in the Visitor Center at the desk in front of you as you walk past security. With every purchase from Pearl Harbor Tours, you will access our on-island concierge and the audio app. An audio app offers greater details about 29 different areas around the center. Since you are doing the tour at your own pace, you can take the time to watch all the films and check out all the exhibits in each area. The audio guide is available in nine languages: English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, French, Russian, Italian, German and Spanish.
At this location, you can get into the line to gain tickets to visit the USS Arizona Memorial.
USS Battleship Missouri
It was on the Battleship Missouri decks that the Japanese signed the documents of surrender that ended World War Two. This mighty battleship is moored along the same battleship row where, over 75 years ago, her sister ships were attacked and sunk. All of them were raised and sailed again except one.
A shipʻs host will lead you on a short 35-minute tour of the above decks. Go below and check out the rest of the ship, set up like a museum for you to learn and explore. There is a lot to see. Donʻt get lost down there!
USS Bowfin Submarine
The USS Bowfin was a busy sub ever since its launch, exactly one year after the attack on the harbor. Dubbed the “Pearl Harbor Avenger,” it led a storied career, completing nine patrols over two years. You can explore the submarine inside and out. There is also a museum to walk through that houses a lot of submariner artifacts, missiles, and more.
Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum
Hangers that still bear the bullet holes from Japanese aircraft house a variety of military aircraft from across the entire span of human flight. Helicopters, jets, biplanes, bombers, and fighters can all be seen under the roofs of these two massive buildings, as well as the area in between. The historic red and white control tower, seen from around the area, marks the spot. You can't miss it. Make sure to leave plenty of time to check out the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum.
