Tour Highlights

Tour Description

The Arizona Memorial is the number one tourist attraction in Hawaii. Unlike other large group bus tours of 50-60 people, this is a small group of only 11 people in a convenient, new model van that takes you directly to Pearl Harbor. We have reserved a ticket for the Arizona Memorial and have included it in this tour for you (please read our disclaimer about the USS Arizona Memorial ticket). Therefore, you do not need to worry about an Arizona Memorial ticket; because of this, you will not need to go early in the morning (5:30 am) and wait in line behind thousands of other people to see if you can get a ticket for the Arizona Memorial. The Pearl Harbor, Arizona Memorial Monument, USS Bowfin Submarine, and a short Honolulu city tour is a half-day tour (about 5-6 hours). This half-day Pearl Harbor Tour operates only from Waikiki Beach hotels. Those staying on any other part of the Island will need to come to the Waikiki Beach area for pick up.

This tour is a great half-day Pearl Harbor Tour. This tour takes you to the heart of Honolulu, where the Pearl Harbor Visitor’s Center is located. The Arizona Memorial is the most visited tourist destination in Hawaii. This monument is the resting place for many American heroes who died during the attack on December 7, 1941. This tour is the perfect choice for those who want to see the USS Arizona Memorial Monument and the Balao-class Submarine Bowfin, the legendary “Pearl Harbor Avenger.” Board the submarine and see the conditions that the men who served aboard her lived and fought under. Then take a walk through the Bowfin submarine museum and learn about the history of the U.S. “Silent Service” in WWII. On the way back to Waikiki, you will be taken on a short drive-through tour of Downtown Honolulu. You get to see the famous golden statue of Hawaii’s legendary ruler, 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. View the unique architecture of the Hawaii State Capitol building. We will also take you on a drive-through of Punchbowl Cemetery, known as the “Arlington of the Pacific,” the final resting place of many U.S. service members from WWI to the present.

Reviews

We really enjoyed this tour. We were picked up right on time at our hotel and taken to the Pearl Harbor area. Our tour guide, walked us into the park and gave us all the details of where and what to see. He gave an explanation of what we would see. Everthing was well planned and our guide even pointed out several landmarks on the drive back to the hotel. Timing was perfect. I highly recommend this tour. The pickup was essentially on time. Our driver was great. Very patient and relatively soft spoken. He was a wealth of knowledge and I could tell well read. He got us to our destination on time. Explained how to get to our boat on time to the Arizona Memorial and to the Missouri. Our guide was knowledgable and we had a brief tour of downtown Honolulu and the Punchbowl. The vans were very clean and the AC worked well. The seats were comfortable and we weren’t crowded. We’ll definitely book again next time in Honolulu.

A. George

Our guide was great. He took us around and gave us great city tour showing us lots of highlights in the city. He was very knowledgeable and gave recommendations for other sights we might want to see.

T. Fields

Our tour guide was very prompt and professional. He was easy to understand and talked loudly enough that everyone could hear. A city tour followed our Pearl Harbor and USS Arizona Memorial Tour. Very enjoyable.

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.

Submarine Memorial Circle

Right on the water near the USS Bowfin is the Submarine Memorial Circle. The circle is comprised of 52 stone, and metal memorial plaques, one for each of the 52 US Navy submarines lost in WWII. Detailed on each plaque are the name of the submarine, the cause of her loss, if known, and a list of the sailors who were lost with their boat. It is a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served in the “Silent Service” during the war. From the memorial, you can also get a good picture of the side of the submarine USS Bowfin.

Arizona Memorial

When you arrive at the Arizona Memorial, walk to the ramp from the boat dock and enter the Arizona Memorial. There is a limited time on the Memorial, and people will move from the entrance to the far end of the Memorial. On the way to the far side, take some time to look at the USS Missouri, which is docked near the Arizona Memorial. Some portions of the ship are still visible above water. These are parts of the superstructure, the remains of the number 2 turret, and the number 3 turret barbette. You may notice an orange buoy to either side of the Memorial;

King Kamehameha

The son of a chief on the Island of Hawaii, he would aspire to great things. Through various military campaigns, he would come to conquer every Hawaiian Island except Kauai. This Island would become part of the Kingdom through diplomacy. King Kamehameha utilized European weapons in his conquest of the Islands and established trade with Europeans who came to the Islands. In addition, he enacted a set of uniform laws and taxation system throughout the Kingdom. King Kamehameha passed away in 1819. In line with ancient Hawaiian customs, his burial place is unknown.
