Fly-Drive Package: Pearl Harbor Helicopter Tour & Rental
The Best View At Pearl Harbor Is From Above
Pearl Harbor & Oahu Helicopter Tour
This tour has it all. Round trip airline tickets to Oahu, rental car for the entire day, and a 45-minute helicopter tour around the entire island of Oahu. This is one of our most desired Pearl Harbor experiences since it gives you a beautiful view from the air while providing you flexibility to explore on your own.
Take a trip back in time and see Pearl Harbor from the vantage point of Japanese fighter jets. Considering that our other popular Pearl Harbor tours will typically only offer the experience and view of the brave American heroes, this one is great at showing you the other side of the coin. Additionally, your flights into and out of Oahu are set so you can maximize your day on the island. Take as long as you want!

Tour Description
This is a great day for visitors from Maui, Kauai and Big Island to see the island of Oahu from both the ground and the sky.
Start your day with a scenic, quick flight into Honolulu. There are beautiful views outside your window throughout the flight. Depending on where you are traveling from, you will pass over islands of Molokai, Lanai and others.
Once on the ground on Oahu, itʻs a great time to head over for a morning helicopter flight (this is flexible). You will see some of the best sites across the southern part of the island and see the sunken USS Arizona & USS Utah from above which is truly breathtaking.
Back on the ground, take your party over to see the sites you have reserved at Pearl Harbor.
Visits to the Arizona Memorial require reservations through our National Park Service partners at recreation.gov. Other museums like Battleship Missouri, Pearl Harbor Aviation or Pacific Fleet Submarine visits can be reserved at checkout.
Once you have explored all the sites at Pearl Harbor, you will have time to drive out to various other places across the island. See Punchbowl, Waikiki, Diamond Head Crater and historic Honolulu too.
You will return your rental car back to the airport after 8-10 hours on the island for your flight back.
In the notes please let us know if you want to extend your time on the island with earlier and later flights!
Please ask us here if you have any questions.

HELICOPTER FLY-DRIVE PACKAGE FEATURES
Pearl Harbor Helicopter Flight
After exploring Pearl Harbor and Oahu on your own, your day will climax with a 45-minute helicopter ride around the island of Oahu and over Pearl Harbor. This flight in the late afternoon will be one you wonʻt soon forget. You will not want to miss seeing the sunken USS Arizona and USS Utah from way above.
Pearl Harbor National Monument
Your Pearl Harbor experience can start at the visitor center. Spend some time browsing through informative displays, learning more about the events that propelled the US into WWII. There are snack areas and food vendors where you can grab a bite to eat and relax.
USS Arizona Memorial
Unguided tours do not include admission to Arizona Memorial (but we are here to help you reserve them with instructions). After a brief film about the Japanese attack, you’ll make the short trip to the memorial itself aboard a U.S. Navy boat. The memorial is built over the remains of the USS Arizona itself allowing visitors to honor and reflect on the heroes of that “Day of Infamy”. You can read the names of all 1,177 sailors and marines who were killed on December 7, 1941 etched into a towering marble wall. Don’t forget to look for the “Black Tears”, the oil that is still leaking onto the surface from the sunken remains to this day.
Visit Punchbowl National Cemetery
Take a scenic drive and stop in Punchbowl National Cemetery. Going on your own will allow you to discover the cemetery’s meticulously landscaped acres. Enjoy the beauty and honor of this serene area as you drive through and view the Courts of the Missing and the marble staircase leading to the statue of Lady Liberty that houses a chapel and the finely detailed mosaic maps of the Pacific Theaters of Operation in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.
Honolulu Historic Sites
You should also visit some Hawaiian sites on this tour, including the impressive Iolani Palace, the only royal palace on American soil. You’ll also see the 18 foot tall statue of King Kamehameha, the State Library and Archives, Honolulu Hale (City Hall), and the quaint Mission Houses as they all display the rich history of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the evolution of the original Hawaiian government.
