A full tour of the island of Oahu’s best sites and experiences awaits you. Start your day off with a bit of solemn reflection at Pearl Harbor’s USS Arizona Memorial and Visitor Center before embarking on an island-wide adventure.
On this tour we travel from Pearl Harbor across the island to the Polynesian Cultural Center, Oahu’s top entertainment attraction. See the Polynesian cultures represented through demonstrations and shows. Explore the demonstration villages of the major Polynesian nations. Watch the canoe pageant and get inspired to go for a ride yourself! At the center, a wonderful lunch included in your tour price gets you ready for an afternoon of fun.
We also pass through quaint towns and stop at various overlooks and lookouts throughout day so there are plenty of opportunities to get great pictures of the most popular locations at the best times of day.
Our final stop is at the Polynesian Cultural Center, with admission to the six Island Villages of Samoa, Tonga, New Zealand, Fiji, Tahiti, Hawai’i and much more. Explore the Polynesian world with an expert guide, watch the canoe parade and shows taking place throughout the day. Get connected with the stunning art and ancient culture of Polynesia as we spend almost 4 hours at this stop.
Beginning the tour at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center allows you to really understand what happened on December 7th, 1941. Watching a 23 minute short film of the attack on Pearl Harbor with historical footage from the attack really let’s you absorb the events from the lead up to the US entering World War II right through to the signing of the Instrument of Surrender by Japan almost 4 years later. For those non-english speaking visitors. All our tours include access to the audio tours provided in 9 languages (English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, French, Russian, Italian, German and Spanish).
All aboard! Make the short trip to the memorial itself aboard a U.S. Navy launch. The memorial built over the remains of the USS Arizona Memorial itself will allow you 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. Don't forget to look for the “Black Tears”, the oil leak on the surface from the sunken remains.
