Overview

Visit Pearl Harbor and have access to the USS Arizona Memorial.
We arrive early—before the big motorcoaches and crowds—so you can experience this powerful site in a more peaceful setting. Your guide personally walks you into Pearl Harbor National Park, giving a full orientation to help you navigate the site with confidence. You'll have ~3 hours for a self-guided visit, including the museums and boat ride to the USS Arizona Memorial (Tickets First Come First Serve). This is the only tour that also includes a guided walk through Historic Downtown Honolulu, visiting ʻIolani Palace, King Kamehameha Statue, and more. Small group (max. 14) for a comfortable, respectful experience.
