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.

Fantastic - Really lucky to of had a fantastic guide. Kanoe knew so much about the island, the tour and just generally was a wealth of knowledge. Grounds were kept clean and maintained well. Monuments were insightful and interesting. If I could advice of one thing, signage needs to make people aware of what is involved in the different areas, although it might be obvious to some for us we were unaware of how hard it was to go through the “doors” / openings in the submarine. We are tall and able bodied and had slight difficulties and crossed paths / walked with people who walked with a walking aid / mentioned they had just had lower extremity issues. This couple both be displayed when booking but also on the grounds

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

Great experience but the... - Great experience but the time allocation needs work. Half the time at the Arizona followed by rushing through the Missouri. Guide was knowledgeable but crossed the line into rudeness at times.

Honour Those who gave us Freedom - Pearl Harbour and Battleship were amazing! Humbling experience. The guides were extremely knowledgeable !! Our tour driver did not complete his duties for the day- so left us to wait in long lines to get from one place to the next, wasting our precious time. Therefore We missed part of exhibits

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.
