Quick Local Tip: Visiting Pearl Harbor from Kona involves flights, transportation, timed admissions, and multiple historic sites. Having everything arranged for you lets you spend the day immersed in the experience instead of managing the logistics.

What to Expect

A short inter-island flight carries you from Kona to Oahu, where your knowledgeable guide is waiting to bring Pearl Harbor's history to life. Throughout the day, you'll travel between each historic site while hearing the stories behind the people, battles, and decisions that shaped the Pacific during World War II.

Stand above the USS Arizona Memorial, explore the exhibits and original footage at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, and walk the decks of the Battleship Missouri where Japan's formal surrender ended the war. Step inside the USS Bowfin submarine, stroll past the Remembrance Circle and historic naval displays, then continue to the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, where preserved wartime aircraft and bullet-scarred hangars offer a powerful glimpse into the events of December 7, 1941. Lunch at the Hangar Grill is included, giving you time to relax before continuing your journey through history.

By the end of the day, you'll have visited the most significant sites at Pearl Harbor while gaining a deeper understanding of the people who served, sacrificed, and changed the course of history. It's the kind of experience that stays with you long after you've returned to the Big Island.
