Private USS Arizona and Honolulu City Tour

This private USS Arizona and Honolulu city tour delivers something special - a deep dive into December 7, 1941, paired with our island's most treasured downtown landmarks. This isn't your typical rushed group experience. You'll get four full hours with reserved USS Arizona Memorial tickets (no standing in those notorious lines), complete Pearl Harbor Visitor Center access, and a personalized exploration of Honolulu's cultural gems, all from the comfort of a black SUV or sedan.

At Pearl Harbor, you'll experience the complete story through two USS Arizona Memorial Museums and the powerful 23-minute documentary film about the attack. The narrated US Navy shuttle boat takes you to the Memorial itself, where you'll stand in the shrine room viewing the names of 1,178 sailors and marines who perished that day. From there, you can see oil still seeping from the sunken USS Arizona below, plus get views of the Battleship USS Missouri and submarine USS Bowfin.

Downtown Honolulu reveals different layers of our history. We'll cruise through Chinatown and past 'Iolani Palace, Washington Place, the State Capitol Building with Father Damien Statue, Mission Houses Museums, and Kawaiaha'o Church. Perfect photo ops await at the King Kamehameha statue honoring the chief who unified these islands. Our final stop? The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Punchbowl Crater - a place that always moves visitors.

What makes this private USS Arizona and Honolulu city tour exceptional is your extensively trained local guide sharing insider stories about Hawaiian history and island life you won't find in any guidebook.
