USS Arizona Memorial And Historic Honolulu Tour

Name: Pearl Harbor Tours
Price range: $

5/5 (401 Reviews)

A great value tour that allows you to see Pearl Harbor’s most important site, the USS Arizona Memorial. After a short video and a boat ride to the memorial, you can pay your respects to those who sacrificed their lives during World War II. This area is aptly named the Pearl Harbor National Monument, and it honors not only that sacrifice but also the bravery and courage the sailors, marines and citizens showed during these dark moments in history.

You’ll be moved to tears and see why the memory of this place should be held dear to our hearts and never forgotten. Tour the Visitor Center Museums to gain even more insight into the tragic events that led up to and followed this great conflict in the Pacific. Gift shop proceeds directly benefit our Pacific National Parks, so we encourage our guests to purchase items to support them.

After Pearl Harbor, our guide will take you on a tour of the city. You’ll drive by Honolulu’s most historic and sacred sites as well as make a stop in the center of town at Kamehameha the Great statue.

USS Arizona Memorial

After a short film about the Japanese attack and events that led up to it, you'll take a brief boat ride to the memorial aboard a U.S. Navy launch. The memorial was built over the remains of the USS Arizona Battleship and dedicated in 1962 to honor the lives lost on the “Day of Infamy", December 7th, 1941. You can read the names of all 1,177 sailors and marines who died on the battleship, most of whom are interned below, in the sunken hull. It is a solemn tribute to America's tragic entry into WW2 and the sacrifices made by "the Greatest Generation."

Overview

Our half-day Pearl Harbor tour includes hotel pickup at Waikīkī at 8:00 AM and 11 AM. From there, we travel to the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument, where the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and the USS Arizona Memorial await you.

Purchase a tour with us to skip the lines and guarantee a visit to the Arizona Memorial. Access to the memorial requires a boat ride, so a ticket is required. This popular destination is busy all year long and throughout the day, so it is best to book early.

After paying your respects at the USS Arizona and learning about the ship, spend a few moments exploring the Visitor Center Museums before we take you on a tour of historic Honolulu.

Across the city, various important events and figures resided in the historic districts, which we tour. We make a stop in the heart of downtown, across from the royal palace, at the statue of King Kamehameha the Great. Your 5-6 hour tour returns you to your Waikīkī hotel/condo after this stop.

*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. As a result, you may be placed in a standby line. Unfortunately, in these cases, there will be no refunds. You can still enjoy the Visitor’s Center, exhibits, and park monuments. Please accept our apologies in advance.
