Itinerary
You'll board a U.S. Navy-operated shuttle boat that takes you across the harbor to the memorial itself. At the USS Arizona Memorial, you'll have time to reflect and pay your respects. The white structure sits above the sunken battleship, which still rests on the harbor floor. You’ll be able to see parts of the ship below the water and may even notice oil droplets – often referred to as the "tears of the Arizona" – still rising to the surface. This experience offers a powerful, emotional, and educational glimpse into a pivotal moment in history.
When you book our experience, you'll visit one of the most iconic and solemn sites at Pearl Harbor – the USS Arizona Memorial. This memorial honors the 1,177 crew members who lost their lives during the attack on December 7, 1941. Your visit begins at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, where you'll have time to explore museum exhibits, view historic photos, and learn about the events that led to the U.S. entering World War II.
Step aboard the legendary USS Missouri, also known as the “Mighty Mo,” one of the most iconic battleships in U.S. history. Moored in Pearl Harbor just a short distance from the USS Arizona Memorial, this massive ship offers an unforgettable walk through time. Travelers will also: Walk the expansive main deck lined with giant 16-inch gun turrets Visit the crew’s living quarters, mess hall, engine rooms, and control centers Learn about the ship’s service in WWII, the Korean War, and the Gulf War Hear fascinating stories from knowledgeable guides stationed throughout the ship The USS Missouri offers a powerful complement to the USS Arizona Memorial, symbolizing both the beginning and the end of the U.S. involvement in World War II. It’s a must-visit for history buffs, military enthusiasts, and anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of America’s past.

Great tour guide Oli! Knowledge, clarity and great personality. Kudos!
Great tour!!! Incredible guide!
What a fabulous day. Everything went like clockwork and we saw amazing sites. The Missouri is not to be missed. The Pearl Harbor Memorial was moving and the trip to the Arizona capped it off. This day was very educational and entertaining. All credit for that goes to our incredible guide, Nani. He was able to set the right tone and mood for the day. He added so much energy and enjoyment to the whole tour. He is the best guide I have ever had for a tour. I wish all my guides had his approach, personality and genuine care for the subject and the Island.
Great tour with the BEST guide!
What a great trip!!! Nani, our guide, was amazing. He is the most personal tour guide I have ever had. He engaged and entertained everyone on the bus and kept us interested the entire time. The Missouri tour was quite educational and interesting. I highly recommend the free 35 minute guided tour you get with your ticket. We also went to the Arizona, which is so moving and solemn. I highly recommend this tour.
