Tour Highlights

Stand where heroes fell and history was made. These powerful Pearl Harbor tours offer a moving tribute to those who served, inviting you to reflect, remember, and connect with one of America’s most sacred places.

  • Visit the WWII Valor in the Pacific Memorial and USS Arizona Memorial
  • Explore exhibits, artifacts, and stories at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center
  • Add the USS Missouri for the complete “bookends of WWII” experience
  • See historic Honolulu landmarks like ʻIolani Palace and Kamehameha Statue
  • Drive through Punchbowl Crater and the National Cemetery of the Pacific

Quick Local Tip: Don’t skip the outdoor display at the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum. Walk past the sub to the far corner and you’ll find the McCann Rescue Chamber, the USS Parche conning tower, deck guns, and even a Japanese Kaiten, a manned suicide torpedo used in WWII. It’s one of the most hands-on exhibits at Pearl Harbor, with pieces you can climb into, sit on, and explore up close. It's something most visitors miss entirely.

What to Expect

Salute to Pearl Harbor

Begin with convenient pickup from Waikīkī before arriving at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, where exhibits, artifacts, and a documentary provide powerful insight into the events of December 7, 1941. From there, board the U.S. Navy shuttle to the USS Arizona Memorial, where you'll stand above the sunken battleship and reflect on one of the most significant moments in American history. Throughout the experience, your guide shares stories that bring Pearl Harbor's history and lasting legacy to life.

Pearl Harbor City Tour

After visiting Pearl Harbor, continue into historic Downtown Honolulu to explore the island's royal and political landmarks. See ʻIolani Palace, the King Kamehameha Statue, Kawaiahaʻo Church, and the Hawaiʻi State Capitol while your guide connects Hawaii's monarchy, culture, and wartime history through engaging local storytelling.

Pearl Harbor Remembered Tour

For the most complete Pearl Harbor experience, continue from the USS Arizona Memorial to the legendary USS Missouri Battleship, where World War II officially came to an end with Japan's surrender in 1945. Walk the historic decks of the "Mighty Mo" before concluding with a narrated drive through Downtown Honolulu and Punchbowl National Cemetery, honoring the men and women who served throughout America's military history.
