Arizona Memorial, Bowfin Submarine & Silent Service Museum Tour
About This Experience
This comprehensive 7-hour journey through Pearl Harbor National Monument connects you with history in ways that textbooks simply can't match, starting from $XX.
Your adventure starts early with 6:30 AM pickup from your Waikīkī hotel (pickup location may differ from your hotel but is within a 5-minute walking distance), setting the stage for a day steeped in remembrance and discovery. At Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, you'll explore museums and outdoor exhibits before taking the solemn boat ride to the stark white Arizona Memorial, where over 1,100 sailors and marines remain interred aboard the USS Arizona. The weight of that December 7, 1941 morning becomes tangible here.
What makes this Arizona Memorial, Bowfin Submarine & Silent Service Museum Tour special is the hands-on submarine experience. At 10:00 AM, you'll descend into the historic Bowfin Submarine, walking through authentic naval quarters where submariners lived and served. The Pacific Fleet Submarine Museum complements this with family-friendly exhibits, harbor views, and spots to grab snacks or meals.
The experience extends beyond Pearl Harbor with a Historic Honolulu City Tour showcasing landmarks like King Kamehameha Statue and ʻIolani Palace. At 12:30 PM, you'll wind through the National Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl Crater before returning to your Waikīkī hotel by 1:30 PM.
