USS Arizona Memorial Plus City Tour
About This Experience
Nothing quite prepares you for standing above the final resting place of 1,177 sailors and Marines aboard the USS Arizona. This USS Arizona Memorial Plus City Tour Honolulu combines that deeply moving experience with an exploration of our island's royal heritage during a comprehensive 5-6 hour journey.
After convenient pickup from multiple Waikiki locations, you'll head to Pearl Harbor National Memorial, where the December 7th, 1941 attack changed everything. At the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, expert guides share the story of that tragic morning before you board the Navy launch to the memorial itself (weather and availability permitting). Standing on the white structure spanning the sunken battleship, you'll understand why this moment reshaped not just Hawaii, but the entire world.
The experience doesn't end at Pearl Harbor. On your return through downtown Honolulu, we'll stop at landmarks that tell Hawaii's earlier story—from the majestic Iolani Palace, America's only royal palace, to the bronze King Kamehameha Statue honoring our warrior king. Your guide weaves together tales of Hawaiian royalty with wartime history, creating connections between our independent kingdom past and our role in World War II.
This USS Arizona Memorial plus city tour Honolulu welcomes visitors of all ages, though keep Pearl Harbor's strict security in mind. Bags larger than 1.25" X 2.25" X 5.5" aren't allowed, but storage is available for a fee. Strollers can't board the bus, and wheelchairs must be collapsible.
Your tour includes Waikiki transportation, Pearl Harbor admission, and expert narration. Bring comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, and cash or credit card for lunch and any extras. It's a profound way to honor history while discovering the cultural treasures that make Oahu unforgettable.
