⛴ Battleships and Memorials of Pearl Harbor (Online Reservation)
About This Experience
Experience the defining moments of America's World War II story with the ⛴ Battleships and Memorials of Pearl Harbor (Online Reservation) tour in Honolulu. This comprehensive 7-hour journey connects you to history's "bookends" – from the USS Arizona Memorial where America entered the war to the Battleship Missouri where it ended.
Starting with 6:30 AM pickup from central Waikīkī locations, you'll travel in comfortable mini-coaches holding 24-40 guests to Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. After exploring museum exhibits and watching a documentary film, board a Navy launch for the moving boat ride to the USS Arizona Memorial. You'll have 15 minutes aboard the stark white structure that straddles the sunken battleship destroyed on December 7, 1941 – a moment that changed everything.
Next, step aboard the floating museum Battleship Missouri to explore multiple decks showcasing wartime history. Stand on the famous Surrender Deck where Japan signed the articles of surrender, then discover exhibits about the kamikaze attacks that damaged this mighty ship during the war's final days.
Your battleships and memorials of Pearl Harbor experience concludes with a scenic drive through historic downtown Honolulu, passing ʻIolani Palace and the King Kamehameha Statue, plus a photo stop at Punchbowl Crater for panoramic views.
This tour includes Waikīkī hotel pickup and drop-off, USS Arizona Memorial boat ride and tickets (subject to military availability), USS Missouri admission, and transportation with an expert local guide.
