Pearl Harbor Tours - USS Missouri, Arizona Memorial & Pearl Harbor Tour
The Arizona Memorial was closed in late May due to needed structural repairs. This is an ongoing repair job that currently does not have a scheduled completion date. During this time, depending on availability and time it may be possible for the tour to take the navy launch around the harbor without landing at the Arizona Memorial. When repairs are completed and the Arizona Memorial is reopened, it will be added back into the tour.
Visit two of Pearl Harbor’s top attractions (Arizona Memorial and
USS Missouri) and then enjoy a historical tour of Punchbowl and
downtown Honolulu!
Upon your arrival at Pearl Harbor, you’ll spend some time at the
Visitor Center and its fascinating exhibit galleries, featuring a
variety of World War II maps, photos, models and other artifacts.
You’ll also get to watch a short film documenting the 1941 attack on
Pearl Harbor, which led the United States to enter World War II.
A Navy shuttle boat will then take you to the Arizona Memorial, the
final resting place of the servicemen who were killed aboard the USS
Arizona. The next stop is the USS Missouri battleship, also known as the
“Mighty Mo.” Tour the surrender deck where the armistice ending the
war was signed.
On the return to Waikiki, you’ll drive through the Punchbowl
National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, the final resting place of
many World War II heroes. You’ll get to see the Courts of the Missing,
the chapel, and finely-detailed mosaic maps of the Pacific theaters of
action in World War II and Korea.
After that, enjoy a tour of downtown Honolulu. See the historic
Iolani Palace, the King Kamehameha Statue, Kawaiahao Church and the
quaint Mission Houses.
