Tom's Tips - Oahu Pearl Harbor Tours
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.
