Our semi private shuttle will pick up in Waikiki, with a local guide to help you prepare for a half day of exploring Pearl Harbor National Park, Hawaii’s number one most visited attraction. Pick up times vary by hotel and will be automatically assigned when you input your information into our online booking platform.

Your World War 2 Valor In The Pacific National Monument experience will start at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. Experience an outstanding film documenting the attack on Pearl Harbor, with actual footage from that day. Spend time browsing through informative displays and learning more about the events that propelled the US into WWII and life in Hawai’i following the attacks on December 7, 1941. Here you’ll find snack areas and food vendors so you can grab a bite to eat, have a seat and relax.

All aboard! Make the short trip to the memorial itself aboard a U.S. Navy ferry. The memorial, built over the remains of the USS Arizona Battleship, allows you to honor and reflect on the heroes of the “Day of Infamy.” You can read the chiseled names of all 1,177 sailors and marines who were killed on December 7, 1941. Don’t forget to look for the “Black Tears,” created by the slow oil leak on the surface of the water from the sunken remains.

The next stop on your Pearl Harbor Adventure is a one-hour visit of the USS Missouri, the last battleship built by the US Navy. Commissioned in 1939 and finished in 1944, she earned the name “Mighty Mo” and 11 Battle Stars during her tour of duty. Walk the decks learning about her proud history and stand on the exact spot where, on September 2, 1945, Japan surrendered, thus ending WWII in the Pacific. In all, you’ll spend approximately 4.5 hours at Pearl Harbor.

The US Navy’s Silent Service (submarine corps) launched on December 7, 1942, a year to the date of the Pearl Harbor Attack, the USS Bowfin, which was aptly nicknamed “The Pearl Harbor Avenger” – a fleet attack submarine that completed nine patrols between 1943 and 1945. When not attacking enemy ships, the USS Bowfin resupplied the troops in combat areas and rescued those who required medical attention. Tour this incredible sub from top to bottom and view some of the artifacts from other submarines in the museum, including a collection of sub-launched missiles.

As we tour through the city, we take a drive up into Punchbowl Crater. The drive through this place is very special as it is home to the National Cemetery of the Pacific and special points of interest. The view from up here is wonderful as you can clearly see down to historic Honolulu and Diamond Head crater beyond.

Our final major point of interest is a drive through historic downtown Honolulu. It contains the only royal palace in the United States. A place that had electricity before the White House. We also see some unique buildings, and a historical figure statue, King Kamehameha. We will return you back to your accommodation in Waikīkī after that.

The duration of the tour is 5-6 hours and guests will be returned to their original pick up location around 2:30 1PM (8 AM Tour) and 4:30 PM (11 AM Tour).
