⛴ Remember the Battleships (Online Reservation)
About This Experience
Having guided countless visitors through Pearl Harbor over the years, I can tell you the ⛴ Remember the Battleships (Online Reservation) Honolulu tour offers the most comprehensive way to experience America's WWII Pacific story. This 7-hour journey connects the pivotal moments that bookended the war—from Pearl Harbor's attack to Japan's surrender aboard the USS Missouri.
We'll pick you up from six convenient Waikiki locations, including the Duke Kahanamoku Statue and Hilton Hawaiian Village area. At Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, you'll explore museum exhibits and watch a documentary before boarding a Navy launch to the Arizona Memorial. The stark white structure spans the sunken battleship, where you'll have 15 minutes for quiet reflection. From here, you can see your next destination—the USS Missouri along Battleship Row.
The Mighty Mo, as locals call her, is where history truly comes alive. Walk the famous Surrender Deck where WWII ended, then discover the exact spot where a kamikaze attack damaged the ship during the war's final days. Interactive exhibits and films throughout the battleship reveal stories you won't find in textbooks.
After Pearl Harbor, we continue through historic downtown Honolulu with stops near Iolani Palace and views of the King Kamehameha Statue. The tour concludes at Punchbowl Crater for those panoramic photo opportunities that capture Oahu's natural beauty.
The ⛴ Remember the Battleships (Online Reservation) tour runs daily except December 7th, when the site hosts commemoration ceremonies. Our comfortable mini-coaches accommodate 24-40 people with expert local guides providing transportation and historical context. Starting from $115 per person (children ages 3-12), your experience includes Waikiki hotel pickup and drop-off, USS Arizona Memorial boat ride and tickets (subject to military availability), USS Missouri admission, and the complete historic Honolulu city tour. Meals and gratuities aren't included, though food is available for purchase at Pearl Harbor locations.
