PEARL HARBOR FLY DRIVE PACKAGE
It’s our least expensive Pearl Harbor package from the outer-islands includes round-trip airline tickets, rental car and assistance in visiting the Arizona Memorial. After you arrive in Honolulu, pick up your rental car at the airport and head to Pearl Harbor. Reach out to us to provide recommendations on how to make the most of your time on Oahu that day.
An Oahu Circle Island tour self drive option is perfect if you want to see the historic sites at your own pace. Add-on extra stops and tickets at checkout to see the other museums at Pearl Harbor!
FEATURED SITES TO VISIT
Pearl Harbor Visitor Center
At the Visitor Center, you will be able to rent an audio headset to explore the exhibits around the memorial. They are set along an easy walking path. Listen in detail to stories and clips at 29 different stops around the area, including on the Arizona Memorial. This service is available in 9 languages.
Museums & Attractions At Pearl Harbor
Maximize your day by pre-purchasing access to the many museums around Pearl Harbor. At checkout, choose to add onto your Oahu experience by visiting the Battleship Missouri, one of the most popular attractions. We can also include visits to the Bowfin Submarine and the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum too.
Punchbowl National Cemetery
A rental car allows you a bit more flexibility to go anywhere you want on the island. We do definitely suggest that you check out Punchbowl Crater. Not far from Pearl Harbor, it offers an incredible view of the city from itʻs rim. As a private visitor, you may stop at the cemetery. Covering the inside of the crater, this beautiful national cemetery is a monument to fallen and missing soldiers of all the Pacific wars. We recommend going up the steps into the various rooms to view beautiful artwork, memorials and mosaics of this monument.
Honolulu’s Historic Sites
Beautiful, historic downtown Honolulu is a stop that you should also make during your exploration of the island. We include it on each tour. Itʻs worth the stop. Here you can enjoy a picnic on the grounds of the palace. Explore the inside of the historic buildings, including the palace (extra fee), the Supreme Court and the oldest Christian church in the state. All can be seen as you stand under the 18ʻ tall statue of Kamehameha The Great.
USS Arizona Memorial
Visit the Arizona Memorial, one of the most solemn places on the island. (We will provide instructions to help you secure those tickets at checkout.) To begin this tour you'll enter the theatre to watch a documentary with actual footage of the attack before taking a navy boat out to the Memorial. Battleship Arizona is the final resting place for over 1100 sailors and marines who died on Dec. 7th, 1941 when a Japanese bomb penetrated the decks and blew up the on-board ammunition. The stark white structure of the memorial straddles this sunken battleship.
