Highlights
- Pearl Harbor National Memorial - Pearl Harbor is home to the USS Arizona Memorial, where you can learn about one of the most significant events in US history during WWII.
- USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park - The USS Bowfin (SS-287) is a fleet attack submarine that served in the Pacific during WWII, contributing to the fame of the term “Silent Service.” Launched on December 7, 1942, exactly one year after the Pearl Harbor attack, she earned the nickname Pearl Harbor Avenger, making it fitting that her permanent home is at Pearl Harbor, Hawai’i.
- National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific - Located in Punchbowl Crater, an extinct volcanic tuff cone in Honolulu, this cemetery honors the men and women who served in the United States Armed Forces and those who sacrificed their lives.
- Downtown Honolulu - Honolulu boasts some of Oahu’s most historic sites. Amidst the skyscrapers of the island’s main business district, you’ll find landmarks like Iolani Palace, the King Kamehameha statue, Kawaiahao Church, and Aloha Tower. This area also houses Hawaii’s government institutions, including the Hawaii State Capitol, Washington Place, and Honolulu Hale.

Can’t say enough good things about Pearl Harbor visit - Both the Arizona and Bowfin exhibits and museums were fantastic. The Arizona memorial moves me to gratitude and sadness at the same time. That’s a confluence of emotions that I rarely experience at the same time.
The SS Bowfin is an experience I will remember for the remainder of my life. As significant consumer of submarine literature, both historical and fiction, being in the sub with excellent narration, helped me, with my own eyes, the see what many authors have described. Not only did it connect a name to an object, it placed the object in a context of space, motion, sequence, and, most important, purpose that a written page cannot accomplish.
Needless to say, I enjoyed my day at Pearl Harbor enormously.

Great experience - Anthony was our bus driver, he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Pearl Harbor. I forgot a memento on the bus and he brought it to me at the hotel. If all drivers for this company is like him then you won’t regret booking a tour with them.

Important tour - definitely worth it - Loved seeing the USS Arizona and the Bowfin subramine was really interesting. The tour made it easy to get to Pearl Harbor, skip the long lines and get us back to the pier. I am glad the tour guide made the decision to cut one-hour off the tour otherwise we would have been hanging around the grounds with nothing left to see. The extra time gave us the opportunity to see some other important sites in Honolulu. Definately a very moving experience but the would benefit from cutting the tour length by at least an hour.

No Guide - Too many changes to pickup area, guide did not guide the tour at the base. If you want a guided tour at the base then go with a different tour.
