Visit the USS Missouri, the USS Arizona, and more during this premium service half day tour of Pearl Harbor
No two ships are more emblematic of America’s involvement in WWII than the USS Arizona and the USS Missouri. The attack on the Arizona thrust the United States into war, and, four years later, the surrender ending the war were signed on the deck of the Missouri. You’ll experience both ships on this tour and learn firsthand of their history and thrill at the accounts of the brave crews who manned them.
Our professional driver guide will meet you at or near your hotel, share an informative and entertaining narration aboard an air-conditioned, tour vehicle, and return you to Waikiki following the tour.
What to Expect
We'll pick you up from Waikiki and take you over to Pearl Harbor Historic sites followed by a Honolulu city tour Some of the locations you will visit include:
- USS Arizona Memorial will be reached aboard a US Navy vessel. The memorial was designed by the architectural team to be situated directly above the actual USS Arizona battleship without resting on the sunken ship. The ship is the final resting place of many of the 1,177 officers and crewmen who were lost during the attack.
- USS Missouri Battleship where you’ll walk in the footprints of General Douglas MacArthur, Admiral Chester Nimitz, and officers of the Allied Powers in 1945 when the instruments of surrender were signed on the ship, signaling the end WWII. “Mighty Mo” fought in WWII, the Korean War and in Desert Storm in the Persian Gulf, supporting the cause of freedom.
- Pearl Harbor Visitor Center where you’ll view actual film footage the attack, view historic displays, and gain firsthand insight into WWII in the Pacific and beyond. You’ll see several galleries displaying artifacts, photos, and dramatic evidence of the surprise attack.
- Ford Island Control Tower at Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum. Ascend for sweeping 360-degree views of Pearl Harbor, including the USS Arizona Memorial and USS Missouri, while standing in a historic WWII command center that once coordinated air traffic and naval operations, still bearing the bullet holes and damage scars of the December 7, 1941 attack.
