Spend the day immersed in the history and valor of World War 2 here in the center of the Pacific. See it from the perspective of being below the waves in a submarine, commanding the seas from a mighty battleship and from high above in a variety of amazing aircraft. Listen to the stories with a free audio tour device so you can listen and hear points at every stop. Come explore Pearl Harbor at your own pace with a Passport to Pearl Harbor ticket.
No trip to Pearl Harbor is complete without a visit to the USS Arizona Memorial. Pick up boarding tickets separately. Reserve online. Limited tickets are available. Going with a guide is a wonderful stress-free option. They handle everything for you.

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!
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.
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.
