Private Tour of Pearl Harbor - All Sites

After decades of guiding visitors through Hawaii's most sacred historical site, I can tell you that Donna's Detours offers the definitive private tour of Pearl Harbor - all sites in Kailua. This 7 to 8-hour comprehensive journey accommodates up to 6 guests in an air-conditioned minivan, with pickup available from your hotel, cruise pier, or airport.

During the drive, I'll share the historical context that makes Pearl Harbor so profound, preparing you for Japan's surprise attack on December 7, 1941. We begin at the Visitors Center with compelling exhibits and documentary films before boarding the shuttle boat to the USS Arizona Memorial. Here, you'll honor the 1,177 sailors and Marines whose names are inscribed in marble within the Memorial's Shrine Room.

Standing watch over the sunken Arizona is the Battleship Missouri-the "Mighty Mo"-where Japan surrendered on September 2, 1945, ending the war. You'll walk her decks, exploring living quarters and battle stations, though reaching the Bridge and lower deck requires climbing several ladders.

The USS Bowfin Submarine, nicknamed "The Pearl Harbor Avenger," lets you experience life beneath the waves while discovering era-defining undersea navigation and weaponry technologies. At the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, restored WWII bombers and fighters from both Japanese and American forces await, alongside aircraft from other conflicts and a Blue Angels F/A-18 Hornet.

This private tour of Pearl Harbor - all sites includes transportation, guide services, bottled water, advance USS Arizona Memorial reservations, and general admission to all four attractions. Children must be 4 years old to board the USS Bowfin Submarine. We accommodate strollers, folding wheelchairs, and lightweight scooters, with wheelchairs available at the Visitors Center and Battleship Missouri on a first-come basis. Starting from $950 for 1-2 people, with full refunds for cancellations made 72 hours prior.
