Here's what sets the Outer Island - Pearl Harbor Fly-Drive With Helicopter Package apart: you'll see Pearl Harbor from the same vantage point as those Japanese fighter jets on December 7, 1941. This 10-hour adventure flips the script on typical Pearl Harbor tours by combining aerial views with ground exploration and complete island flexibility.
Starting with round-trip flights to O'ahu and your own rental car, you'll have the freedom to explore at your own pace. The real showstopper? A 45-minute helicopter tour scheduled for late afternoon, when optimal lighting showcases aerial views of Pearl Harbor, including the sunken USS Arizona and USS Utah below.
On the ground, Pearl Harbor National Monument's visitor center serves as your gateway to understanding December 7, 1941. While the unguided experience doesn't include USS Arizona Memorial admission, the operator provides reservation instructions. Once there, you'll see 1,177 names of fallen sailors and marines etched into marble, plus witness the haunting "Black Tears"—oil still seeping from the sunken Arizona after all these years.
Your island exploration continues at Punchbowl National Cemetery with its meticulously landscaped grounds, Courts of the Missing, marble staircase, and Lady Liberty statue housing a chapel featuring detailed mosaic maps from Pacific Theater operations. Honolulu's historic downtown awaits too: 'Iolani Palace (America's only royal palace), the impressive 18-foot King Kamehameha statue, State Library and Archives, Honolulu Hale, and Mission Houses.
Available from Maui, Big Island, and Kaua'i, this Outer Island - Pearl Harbor Fly-Drive With Helicopter Package delivers unmatched flexibility. Rental car transportation, helicopter flight, and comprehensive Pearl Harbor access combine into one seamless experience that captures both the tragedy and beauty of this pivotal historical site.
