It’s our least expensive Pearl Harbor package from the outer islands and 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. Contact us for recommendations on how to make the most of your time on O'ahu that day.
An O'ahu Circle Island tour self-drive option is perfect if you want to see the historic sites at your own pace. Add extra stops and tickets at checkout to see the other museums at Pearl Harbor!
At the Visitor Center, you can 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 the Arizona Memorial. This service is available in nine languages.
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.
Maximize your day with the Passport to Pearl Harbor, which is already included with your tour. This all-access pass covers entry to the Battleship Missouri, the Bowfin Submarine, and the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum—three of the most popular attractions. Enjoy the full experience without needing to pre-purchase individual museum tickets.
A rental car allows you more flexibility to go anywhere on the island. We suggest that you check out Punchbowl Crater. Not far from Pearl Harbor, it offers an incredible view of the city from its rim. Inside 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 this monument's wonderful artwork, memorials, and mosaics.
Historic downtown Honolulu is a stop you should also make while exploring the island. We include it on each tour and it is worth the time. Here, you can enjoy a picnic on the grounds of 'Iolani Palace and explore the historic buildings inside - including the palace (for an extra fee) - the Supreme Court, and the oldest Christian church in the state. You can see everything as you stand under the 18ʻ tall statue of Kamehameha The Great.

*Parking: Beginning April 15, 2023, Pearl Harbor National Memorial will charge a parking fee to all those arriving in personal or rented vehicles. The parking fee will be paid via a virtual pay system through visitors' mobile devices or though an onsite kiosk located within the Visitor Center complex.
*Note: Due to unforeseeable circumstances, the Navy may need to suspend boat operations to the USS Arizona Memorial at any time, or they may impose a capacity restriction on the boat.
