Additional Information

We initiate this journey with a pick-up from your hotel or cruise departure point. On the way to Pearl Harbor, our skilled guides will transport you back in time with a narrative of the series of events that culminated in the assault on Pearl Harbor.

Upon reaching the Valor in the Pacific National Monument, you’ll get the chance to delve into a museum housing historical relics and papers that provide more context to the Pearl Harbor raid. An age-old film showcasing historic footage of the actual assault will also be screened! Following that, you shall embark on an authentic United States Navy boat for a trip across the bay to the Arizona Memorial, a monument that hangs over the submerged battleship where 1,177 seamen paid the greatest price for their nation. Witnessing Pearl Harbor from the exact perspective as those seamen, on that ominous morning, and paying homage to the names of those who fell, is a deeply moving and unforgettable experience. A tour like this is an essential part of any visit to the islands.

  • We cannot be held responsible for and cannot extend financial reimbursement for delays caused by factors such as traffic, weather, mechanical issues, or problems concerning Navy-operated shuttle boats. Ticketed access to the Arizona Memorial is first-come first-served, we cannot guarantee admission and cannot issue refunds if access to any tour stop is denied for any reason.

Complete Pearl Harbour Tour and Honolulu history - Our Bus driver and guide was excellent he provided us a lot of extra information before we went into the Pearl Harbour Site. Afterwards we were taken around Honolulu to see historical buildings and told historical facts. He also told us about Hawaiian ancestry information at present day. Excellent

Amazing experience - It was so profound standing in the spots where WWII started and where it ended. I cannot imagine the fear that must have permeated the air that day and the days following. This place really brought all of that to life. Definitely use all the audio tours allotted to you. We could have used another hour or two! We spent a lot of time on the USS Arizona side and walks and museums and had to rush the USS Missouri and basically ran through the air museum.

Hawaii - Pearl Harbor itself was amazing. It’s Viator’s service I have the problem with. The pickup time and place was totally different than what the transportation company had. Terrible communication. I was charged twice for the trip.
