The ship's outline is visible just below the surface, and oil droplets, often referred to as "The Tears of the Arizona," can still be seen rising to the surface Remembrance Wall: At the far end of the memorial is a wall inscribed with the names of the 1,177 crew members who lost their lives aboard the USS Arizona.

Wonderful place but a lot of walking at the USS Missouri
Sobering but very informative. Loved being able to walk below deck on the USS Missouri and on the USS Bowfish. Will say that we did a LOT of walking at the USS Missouri, wasn't really prepared for that.

Our driver Miah was...
Our driver Miah was phenomenal. Very informative and friendly. He does an excellent job getting us to and from. The tour itself was one of the most amazing things we’ve done. What an honor to see the memorials.

Long but great day
It's a long day but well worth it. You have plenty of time to see all the different exhibits and tour the Memorial and the Missouri. There is a lot of climbing of stairs both at the Missouri and the submarine. You are dropped off at the Arizona visitors center and you are on your own from there. Tour guide gets you to the center and then picks you up about six to seven hours later. All in all, meets the description of the package.

Full Pearl Harbor tour
This was a great way to get the full Pearl Harbor experience. We were able to go to the Arizona memorial and all the other exhibits. Our tour guide provided good and fun information about Hawaii and the Hawaiian culture. It was a long day but well worth it.
