You finally made it to Oahu. However, there is one question. What do you do while here? The capital of the State of Hawaii is bustling with activity and there is no shortage of things to do. You wouldn’t want to just waste your entire vacation just sitting on the beach. We have the perfect answer for you with a VIP Private Arizona Memorial, Missouri Battleship, and Oahu North Shore Horseback Riding Tour. If you are staying in Waikiki, flying to Oahu from another Island for the day, or arriving on one of the many cruise ships that visit Honolulu, this is a tour you will not want to miss. This tour will take you to historic Pearl Harbor where you get to see the Arizona Memorial with the Arizona Memorial ticket included. (Please see our notice regarding Arizona Memorial tickets). No need to be worry about the Arizona Memorial tickets, rent a car, and then find your way to Pearl Harbor on your own and deal with all the hassle and problems entire day. We will pick you up in a private clean minivan with a professional driver/guide who is fluent in English. Once at Pearl Harbor, you will receive a professional orientation and your Arizona Memorial Ticket to your hand.
The Pearl Harbor Visitor’s Center has two museums that you definitely should see, “Road to War ” and “Attack.” These museums will provide you with background information regarding the events that led to the attack on Pearl Harbor, as well as details about the attack itself. You will get to see the short 23-minute film about the attack on Pearl Harbor featuring film footage taken during the attack. Take the U.S. Navy shuttle to the Arizona Memorial Monument, which stands as a solemn memorial to the attack on Pearl Harbor and is the resting place for 1,177 American Sailors and Marines who died during the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941. You will also get to go to Ford Island to see the USS Missouri Battleship, the “Mighty MO.” You will get to walk the decks of this historic battleship where the Japanese surrendered signifying the end of WWII. You will get to see where the surrender documents were signed, walk about the deck and marvel at the massive main guns, and view spaces inside the ship. Next to the battleship Missouri is the Oklahoma Memorial. This memorial is to remember the USS Oklahoma Battleship which sank on December 7, 1941. Over 400 crew members were lost when she sank, making her sinking the second-greatest loss of life that day, after the USS Arizona. Once you are done with Pearl Harbor, it will be time to move on to horseback riding. We will head to Oahu’s North Shore where the horseback tour will take place. With the help of a professional guide, you will get to ride on a horse through the beautiful countryside of Oahu’s North Shore. The tour will take you past open farmland and down a scenic North Shore ocean-view riding trail with breathtaking views of the coastline. it is quite a thing to take in the view from the back of a horse, much like the Paniolo or the Hawaiian Cowboys would have done in times past. On the way back to your drop-off location, you will be taken on a short drive-through tour of Downtown Honolulu. You get to see the famous golden statue of the first true ruler of Hawaii, King Kamehameha the Great. View the famous Iolani Palace, the only Royal Palace on American soil. See Washington Place, the historic home of Hawaii’s Governors and the former home of Hawaii’s last Queen, Queen Liliuokalani. View the unique architecture of the Hawaii State Capitol building.

Here are some points of Interest that you will see on your tour:
Lone Sailor
The statue known as “the Lone Sailor” is a tribute to all personnel in the sea services past, present, and future. This statue was sculpted by Stanley Bleifeld using a real sailor, PO1 Dan Maloney as the model. The initials and last name on the sea bag belong to Rear Admiral William Thompson, the first president of the Navy Memorial Foundation. The foundation raised funds for the creation of the Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C. The bronze used for the original sculpture is said to have had several historical artifacts added to it during the smelting process.
Oklahoma Memorial
The USS Oklahoma (B-37) was a Nevada-Class battleship commissioned on May 2, 1916. She was at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. During the Japanese attack, she received up to 8 torpedo hits. She capsized, almost rolling completely over. This trapped many of her crew who were below decks underwater. A desperate rescue operation was launched to save as many of her crew as possible. In all, 429 officers and enlisted men out of a crew of 1,398 died in the attack. Her losses comprise the second-largest loss of life in the attack after 1,177 were killed when the USS Arizona battleshipexploded.
Unconditional Surrender
The statue of a sailor kissing woman is an art piece called “Unconditional Surrender.” First installed in Sarasota, Florida, and later moved to other locations. Several copies were installed, such as the one located on Ford Island at Pearl Harbor. The statue was cast by the artist Seward Johnson, who used computer technology to create a 3-D master from a 2-D photograph. The resulting master was used to cast the statue in bronze. The sculpture is based on an iconic photo taken by Victor Jorgenson of a sailor kissing a woman upon the announcement of V-J Day, signifying the end of WWII.
Washington Place
Washington Place was the residence of the Governor of the State of Hawaii from 1921 until it was named a National Historic Landmark in 2007. The Governor currently resides in a separate house on the same property. The residence was built in the 1840s and was the home of the Dominis family. John Owen Dominis would eventually marry the future Queen of Hawaii, Liliuokalani. Upon the death of John Dominis, the house would pass to the Queen. Washington Place was the main site of the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii and the location where the Queen was arrested at its conclusion. She resided in the house until her death in 1917.
