Arizona Memorial, Pearl Harbor and Honolulu City Highlights Tour (2B)
A local guide rides along in a deluxe touring vehicle, sharing Hawaiian history and context throughout the day. The first stop is the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, where guests explore exhibits at their own pace. A Navy Launch Boat carries visitors across the harbor to the Arizona Memorial for a quiet, reflective visit. The tour then passes through the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, commonly called Punchbowl Cemetery, which sits inside an extinct volcanic crater. The downtown Honolulu portion takes in the Honolulu historic district, including views of Iolani Palace, the King Kamehameha Statue, and the Mission Houses Museum. Entry to the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and Arizona Memorial is included, as is transportation throughout. Lunch is not included but can be purchased at the Visitor Center.
Premium Pearl Harbor Experience
The Premium Pearl Harbor Experience picks up travelers from select Waikiki hotels in the morning and travels by luxury vehicle to Pearl Harbor, with a local expert guide covering Hawaiian history and WWII events along the way. The tour visits the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, then moves to the Ford Island Control Tower at the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum for a guided historical experience. A boat ride across Pearl Harbor follows, taking travelers to the USS Arizona Memorial. The group then boards the Battleship Missouri for a docent-led tour. A buffet lunch at Hangar Cafe is included, along with bottled water and local treats. Physical intensity is rated moderate. All visitors must bring valid photo ID, as it is required to access Ford Island. Pearl Harbor enforces a strict bag policy: no purses, backpacks, fanny packs, or camera bags are permitted.

About
The core of what it offers is history-focused touring centered on Pearl Harbor and Honolulu, with visits to landmarks tied to World War II. Hotel pickup from select Waikiki locations is included on several tours, and a local guide covers Hawaiian history, legends, and WWII events along the way. Lunch is included on certain departures.
Beyond Pearl Harbor, the company runs a flight-based day trip from Oahu to Kauai, where a guide leads stops at locations used in well-known films and television productions. Clips from those productions play at each site, and travelers have time on their own for lunch in Hanalei Town.
Tours vary in scope and depth, from a Honolulu city highlights combination to a longer, small-group Pearl Harbor experience that includes the top of the tower, the Arizona, and the Missouri. Travelers who want transportation handled, a narrated route, and access to Pearl Harbor sites in a single outing will find the lineup practical for that purpose.
