Itinerary
Pass by: See the historic buildings that played a part of Hawaii's history as a monarchy, a territory and as the 50th state.
Pearl Harbor is currently operating their boat shuttles in a modified and limited capacity due to dock damages. Under normal circumstances we do secure the tickets and reservation times for all of our tours, however, with the current situation we try our best to secure what we can daily. Our guides do make sure that all guests get to experience the USS Arizona, but on some days we have to use the standby line to make that happen
Experience the emotional power of Pearl Harbor as you enter the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument. Revisit the past and observe never-before-seen artifacts, replicas and media displays that explain the events and details leading up to and following the Pearl Harbor attack. Look across the harbor's blue waters at Ford Island, the center of the attack, and imagine the residents waking up on a sleepy Sunday morning to chaos and madness. Stand at ground zero of the infamous attack and gaze up at a sky once filled with enemy planes.

Traveler reviews
Great guide. Rushed to see everything
Our guide Oli was fantastic! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. We learned many interesting facts about Honolulu and saw many places we wouldn't have known about without going on this tour. The amount of time we were able to spend at Pearl Harbor felt insignificant. We felt as if we had not enough time to see or do much.
