Private USS Arizona, Honolulu City, and North Shore Tour

About This Experience

Experience Pearl Harbor's profound history alongside Oahu's most stunning landscapes on this comprehensive private USS Arizona, Honolulu City, and North Shore tour based in Pearl City. Over 8 hours, you'll journey from Hawaii's most significant World War II memorial to legendary surf beaches and historic downtown Honolulu—all from the comfort of a black SUV or sedan with your knowledgeable local guide.

Begin at the World War II: Valor in the Pacific National Monument with reserved USS Arizona Memorial tickets (no waiting in line!). After watching the 23-minute National Park Service documentary about the Pearl Harbor attack, you'll board a US Navy shuttle boat to the memorial itself. Standing above the sunken battleship, visit the shrine room displaying names of over 1,178 sailors and marines who perished on December 7th, 1941. You can still see oil leaking from the USS Arizona below while taking in views of the Battleship USS Missouri.

Next, we cruise to Oahu's legendary North Shore, stopping at the Dole Plantation—the island's second largest visitor attraction—for world-famous Dole Whip ice cream. Wind through surf culture mecca Haleiwa and past iconic surfing beaches, with photo stops at Sunset Beach and Chinaman's Hat. After a non-hosted lunch break in beautiful Waimea Valley, sample complimentary treats at Tropical Farms Macadamia Nut House. The Nu'uanu Pali Lookout delivers spectacular Windward Oahu views perfect for those Instagram shots.

Your private USS Arizona, Honolulu City, and North Shore tour wraps up with historic Honolulu exploration—downtown drives through Chinatown, State Capitol views featuring the Father Damien Statue, photo ops at King Kamehameha Statue, plus glimpses of Iolani Palace, Mission Houses Museums, and Kawaiaha'o Church. Starting from $950, this complete Oahu experience includes round-trip transportation from Waikiki hotels, Honolulu International Airport, or Honolulu Harbor, plus complimentary cold bottled water.
