About This Experience
Step aboard this extraordinary Kailua-Kona to Oahu: World War II Heroes Deluxe Pearl Harbor Tour 39 (Airfare Included) Honolulu—a deeply moving 13-hour journey that brings you face-to-face with the pivotal moments that thrust America into World War II. Your day begins with round-trip airfare from Kailua-Kona Airport, whisking you to Oahu where living history awaits.
At Pearl Harbor, you'll stand directly above the USS Arizona Memorial, the sacred final resting place of 1,177 officers and crewmen who perished during that infamous December 7, 1941 attack. The Pearl Harbor Visitor Center sets the stage with authentic film footage and historic displays that transport you back to that defining moment.
Your immersive experience continues aboard the USS Bowfin Submarine, famously dubbed the "Pearl Harbor Avenger." Then step onto the deck of the mighty USS Missouri Battleship, where you'll walk the same planks where General Douglas MacArthur and Admiral Chester Nimitz presided over Japan's 1945 surrender ceremony—the moment that officially ended WWII.
The Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum offers perhaps the most haunting reminder of that fateful day. Housed within two original WWI hangars still bearing bullet holes from the 1941 attack, this 105,000-square-foot collection showcases wartime aircraft including an authentic Japanese Zero fighter plane. These exhibits vividly illustrate the aerial warfare that defined the Pacific theater.
