This 13-hour expedition combines inter-island travel with access to all four major Pearl Harbor sites. The tour covers the USS Arizona Memorial, USS Bowfin Submarine, USS Missouri battleship, and Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum.
Your journey begins with a 5:45 AM check-in at Lihue Airport, where Hawaiian Airlines takes you to Oahu for a day of history. The USS Arizona Memorial offers a tribute to those lost on December 7, 1941, while the USS Bowfin Submarine—nicknamed the "Pearl Harbor Avenger"—lets you explore this historic vessel. Board the USS Missouri, where Japan's surrender ceremony ended World War II. Complete your experience at the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, housed in original WWII hangars with historic aircraft and exhibits.
The tour features expert live narration from a knowledgeable guide. You'll explore the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center's exhibits and film footage that detail the attack's history. Lunch is included at the Aviation Museum's Hangar Café.
The all-inclusive package covers round-trip airfare from Kauai to Oahu, admission to the USS Arizona Memorial, Battleship Missouri, Bowfin Submarine, and Aviation Museum, transportation, and lunch. A valid government-issued ID is required for airline check-in and TSA clearance—ensure the name on your ticket matches your ID exactly.
Pearl Harbor's strict no-bag policy allows only wallets, cell phones, government ID, bottled water, and cameras. Only clear bags with visible contents are permitted, such as small transparent stadium-style totes or resealable quart-sized plastic bags. Oversized clear bags may be restricted. No bags, backpacks, or strollers are allowed at the Visitor Center or on Ford Island, though lockers are available for a fee.
Cancellations require 168 hours' notice for full refund; no-shows incur full charge. The Kauai to Oahu: World War II Deluxe Pearl Harbor Tour delivers an immersive historical experience exploring these significant WWII landmarks.
