USS Arizona Memorial

As part of your visit to Pearl Harbor, you’ll take a short, narrated boat ride across the harbor to the USS Arizona Memorial, operated by the U.S. Navy. The ride offers a powerful perspective—gliding over the very waters where history changed forever on December 7, 1941. Boat tickets distributed on First Come First Serve Basis.Arriving at the memorial, which floats directly above the sunken battleship, is a deeply humbling experience. You’ll see the names of the fallen etched into the white marble wall and may even witness droplets of oil—known as the “black tears of the Arizona”—still rising to the surface. It’s a quiet, moving tribute that leaves a lasting impact on all who visit.
