When you visit Pearl Harbor you can choose between two main categories of tours: land tours and air tours.
A) Pearl Harbor Land Tours
The following are the four main elements of the Pearl Harbor land tours. The various tours offered will include all or some of these elements dependent upon which you choose. Many of these Pearl Harbor tours will also include visits to other portions of the island on the same day. Pick up and return is usually provided from your Waikiki hotel.
Arizona Memorial
This is the most popular segment of the Pearl Harbor experience. You will be taken with a large group into an auditorium where you will be shown a short film about the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese on December 7th, 1941. You will then depart on a ship excursion through the waters of Pearl Harbor to the Arizona Memorial which was erected directly over the USS Arizona which was sunk in the attack and which still holds the remains of many men who were on board the vessel that day. You will be able to view the boat through the water in its final resting place and pay tribute to those gallant men who gave their lives there for their country.
. You will be able to step on the decks of the most famous battleship in American history and take a tour through the ship. This tremendous battleship saw vigorous combat in World War ll and was the venue upon who's decks the documents formerly ending the war were signed by the United States and Japan.
Pacific Aviation Museum.
Here you will find seemingly endless displays of all types regarding all forms of aviation that were active during World War ll.
USS Bowfin.
This World War ll Baleo-Class Submarine was successful in eight separate deployments during the war and was responsible for the sinking of countless enemy targets. You may board the Bowfin and walk completely through from one end to the other and see first hand the intricacies and living conditions aboard this famous ship.
B) Pearl Harbor Air Tours
View Pearl Harbor and other scenic locations on Oahu from the vantage point of a helicopter or sightseeing airplane. Most of these tours will provide you with a tour that will bring you in to Pearl Harbor on the exact flight path that was taken by the Japanese on the morning of December 7th, 1941.
Visit Pearl Harbor for a day trip from another Hawaiian island.
Many people visiting Hawaii will never actually stay on the island of Oahu but still will want to visit Pearl Harbor. This can happen on one of the many one-day tours that will depart early in the morning from an outer island and arrive at Pearl harbor for the day. You can easily view these choices on this website under the category inter-island flights on the outer island of your preference.
Pearl Harbor Tours are a very big deal on Oahu. Pearl Harbor is the most visited attraction on the island and most people are going to want to visit there at least one time. Sometimes getting there is a little bit easier said than done. The reason has to do with its popularity. Let's start off with this, Pearl Harbor is always full. There are more people wanting to visit than can get in. Each day you can show up at Pearl Harbor and on a first come, first served basis the first 1300 of you will be permitted to get a ticket and the rest will not be allowed in. You can also go through a process to order your tickets on line. These will all be for times after 11 AM as the times prior to that are all reserved for the folks waiting in line to get one that day. These reserved tickets can be sold out in advance as well. There are two separate (somewhat confusing) time windows in which you can buy them, a 60 day window and a 24 hour window. You can read up about these on line and give it a try... read more.

Certainly the most popular of all the visitor attractions that we have on Oahu is Pearl Harbor.
Not only do people that are staying on Oahu go to see Pearl Harbor and all it has, but people come from all over the islands. People that are visiting Hawaii, staying on Kauai and staying on the Big Island, staying on Maui, do one-day tours just for the purpose of coming over to Pearl Harbor to see what that's all about. Everyone wants to pay homage to the events that happened there and everyone seems to have relatives or friends somewhere in their past that have served time there. Certainly everyone knows about the history that happened. So it's a big thing for people to want to come and see Pearl Harbor.
Now if you're lucky enough to be staying on Oahu, we have a number of different tours that can take you to Pearl Harbor. Keep in mind that you can do this on your own. You can go there and see things. It's probably a little bit better to go with a tour simply because it's so confusing over there. There's lot of people, lots of cars, lots of different tour groups coming in and around and going to see things, and there's schedules and so on that are set up. It's a little bit easier to be under someone's guidance that they have you under their wing and they're taking you around and showing you things.
Essentially what Pearl Harbor is is certainly the Arizona Memorial. That's the centerpiece of everything, but then we have the Battleship Missouri which is the Iowa class battleship that was actually operational during World War II and that's where they actually signed the papers with the Japanese when the war was ended, on the decks of that ship so it's got a lot of historical significance. But you get a chance to walk around on that boat and see what it was like to actually live on a boat like that. Imagine what it was like being at battle. It really takes you back.
Same thing happens with regard to the USS Bowfin which is a submarine, World War II class submarine. You can actually climb down into that submarine and walk around and see how the sailors lived in those close quarters. Very, very interesting. We also have the Aviation Museum which goes on forever, so many exhibits. It's a place that you can spend, really at Pearl Harbor you can spend all day.
So there's lots to be able to be seen. We have a number of tours that'll take you, some a little bit more personalized, others taking larger groups. But there's so much that we have and it's definitely something you probably are interested in and we could set you up with whatever you need.
