Description

Embark on a poignant journey to explore one of the most significant events in American history: the attack on Pearl Harbor and its profound implications for the United States' involvement in World War II, during this informative tour of Honolulu.

Available Tour Options

When booking, you can select from two unique tour options. In either case, we will pick you up directly at your hotel in Waikiki and transport you to Pearl Harbor.

Here are the specifics for each tour option:

Honolulu + Pearl Harbor Tour (5 to 6 Hours)

Your experience will commence at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, transporting you back to December 7, 1941—the day of the unexpected Japanese assault that significantly impacted the American naval forces. At the center, we will explore two museums and watch a documentary that sheds light on the events of that crucial day.

Afterward, we will board a shuttle to the USS Arizona Memorial, dedicated to the memory of the 1,177 sailors who perished during the attack.

Our journey then proceeds to Honolulu, the vibrant capital of Hawaii. Here, we will pay our respects at the Punchbowl Cemetery, which honors U.S. Armed Forces members who have sacrificed their lives.

As we continue through the city, we'll catch sight of the historic Iolani Palace—the sole royal palace in the United States. In front of this landmark, we will view the statue of King Kamehameha. Nearby, we will also visit the Kawaiahao Church and the Mission Houses.

The tour will conclude with visits to the Hawaii State Capitol and Honolulu Hale as we complete this enriching five to six-hour experience and return you to your hotel.

Departure time: between 9 and 10:45 am

Complete Pearl Harbor Tour (9.5 Hours)

This extended option begins with a visit to the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, where we'll explore its two museums and view a documentary. After the USS Arizona Memorial visit, we will venture off the usual path to discover the submarine Bowfin, aptly nicknamed "The Avenger of Pearl Harbor," which sank 44 enemy vessels during World War II. Inside the submarine, an audio guide will share its intriguing history and more.

Following our submarine adventure, we'll visit the Aviation Museum and the USS Missouri, both of which are among the most notable attractions in the area. Have your cameras ready for these unmissable sights!

A lunch break will be held at the Aviation Museum's restaurant, where you'll have a selection of four mouthwatering dishes: Hawaii 5-0 Kalua Pig Wrap, Commander's Hawaiian Cobb Salad, Hawaiian Chicken Bites Rice Bowl, or House Made Vegan Chili.

Following lunch, we will depart from Pearl Harbor and take you back to your original departure point.

Departure time: 6:45 am
