Tour Details

When you go to the Pearl Harbor National Memorial, two of the most important attractions to see are the USS Arizona Memorial and the USS Bowfin Submarine. This Oahu Private tour is one of our most popular tours and offers a wonderful, hassle-free Pearl Harbor experience. We will pick you up privately from your hotel in Waikiki, the Honolulu Port, or the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport and take you to the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center for the Arizona Memorial and the submarine USS Bowfin and Pacific Fleet Submarine Museum. The Arizona Memorial tickets and USS Bowfins tickets are included, so you won’t have to worry about getting them on your own or waiting in line. Rather than a group tour where they will pick you up on a bus along with many other people, our private tour means that only your party will be picked up. We will take you to Pearl Harbor in a nicely appointed minivan. The driver will take you into the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, give you a professional orientation, and present the tickets directly to you. From there, you will have a chance to see the two Pearl Harbor Museums, “Road to War” and “Attack.” Both of these will provide you with context regarding the reasons, planning, and aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor. There are also a number of outdoor exhibits for you to look through, such as the USS Arizona’s Bell, the sculpture “The Lone Sailor,” which is dedicated to everyone in the sea services, past, present, and future, and the Waterfront Submarine Memorial which is dedicated to all US submarines lost in WWII. The ticket for the USS Bowfin and Submarine Museum is included in this package. The USS Bowfin is a submarine that fought in WWII, sinking up to 44 enemy vessels. You will also have a chance to see the Pacific Fleet Submarine Museum. An audio set is included with the admission. After Pearl Harbor, we will take you on a short drive-through tour of historic Downtown Honolulu. This drive-through tour includes the famous landmarks in Honolulu’s capital. This tour features historic landmarks such as the Golden Statue of King Kamehameha, Hawaii’s unifier and first King, Iolani Palace, the only royal palace on US Soil, and Punchbowl Cemetery, known as the Arlington of the Pacific. After the tour, we will return you back to your Waikiki hotel.
