Battleship Missouri & Helicopter Tour

Battleship Missouri & Helicopter Tour

About This Experience

Having guided visitors through Pearl Harbor for years, I can tell you this battleship Missouri & helicopter tour Honolulu experience offers something truly special – the chance to witness our island's most pivotal historical site from both ground and sky.

Your day starts with Waikiki pickup, then dives straight into Pearl Harbor's heart. The Arizona Memorial comes first – that stark white structure spanning the sunken battleship where over 1,100 Sailors and Marines found their final rest on December 7, 1941. You'll explore the Visitor Center's exhibits, watch the documentary, then take that reverent boat ride to the memorial itself.

Next, step aboard the "Mighty Mo" – the mighty Battleship Missouri where Japan officially surrendered, ending World War II. This massive vessel deserves hours of exploration across its decks, revealing layers of history at every turn.

But here's where this tour gets extraordinary. After refreshments, you'll head to the airport for a 45-minute helicopter flight circling the entire island. From above, Pearl Harbor takes on new meaning – you'll see the Arizona Memorial from a perspective few experience, plus soar over Punchbowl Crater's National Cemetery, Downtown Honolulu, Waikiki's famous beaches, and iconic Diamond Head.

This comprehensive battleship Missouri & helicopter tour Honolulu package covers all transportation, the Arizona Memorial boat ride, Battleship Missouri access, and your complete helicopter adventure with Waikiki resort pickup and return.

Important details: passengers over 240 lbs need comfort seating, and groups exceeding 1,000 lbs combined weight get split across multiple aircraft. Accurate weights are essential since everyone gets weighed at the helicopter terminal. Lunch isn't included at either location, and occasional Navy operations may affect memorial access without advance notice. The entire experience runs 9-10 hours.
