Overview

More Than a Tour—A Deeper Understanding of History
This 6–7 hour experience is designed for guests who want more than a quick visit to Pearl Harbor. Through expert storytelling, firsthand naval experience, historic sites, and time for personal reflection, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of:

The events and tensions leading up to December 7, 1941
The attack on Pearl Harbor and its impact on the United States
The U.S.–Japan relationship before and during World War II
The role of Pearl Harbor in shaping the Pacific War
The extraordinary history of the USS Missouri
The formal end of World War II
The personal stories and sacrifices of those who served

With a maximum of 12 guests, this is a personal, educational, and immersive Pearl Harbor experience—designed to leave you with not only a better understanding of what happened, but a greater appreciation for the people who lived through it.

USS Arizona Memorial

Begin the experience with a visit to the solemn resting site of over 1,000 Sailors and Marines who lost their lives during the attack on December 7, 1941. Travelers will spend approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes at this sacred historic landmark, which includes watching a 23-minute documentary covering the immediate events leading up to the attack before taking a boat ride directly to the memorial itself. Entry to the visitor center and boat transportation are included, though visitors should expect a respectful environment requiring quiet decorum and standard security checks where bags are not permitted.

Conclude the tour with a 1-hour and 30-minute stop at America's last serving battleship, affectionately known as "Mighty Mo."
