Tour Description
The Island of Oahu is the busiest of the Hawaiian Islands. For visitors to Oahu, there is no shortage of things to do. Because of this, there is a need to manage your time. Our Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and Honolulu Complete City Tour + Diamond Head Hike is perfect for those who want to see the main sights of Honolulu and see the great natural vistas that Honolulu has to offer. Our private tour provides a solution for you. Instead of a group tour in a bus with around 20-60 people, why not ride to Pearl Harbor and then go on the Honolulu City tour in a clean, comfortable, air-conditioned minivan that will privately take you on tour? Our professional chauffeur will take you to Pearl Harbor. Once you have arrived at the Pearl Harbor Visitor’s Center, our chauffeur will take you inside and give you an orientation. While there, see the two museums detailing the cause of the attack as well as details on the attack itself. You will have the opportunity to stroll through Submarine Bowfin Park and view outdoor exhibits such as a Japanese Kaiten suicide torpedo. Then, you will be taken on a drive-through tour of the historical Downtown of Honolulu. You get to see the famous golden statue of Hawaii’s legendary monarch, King Kamehameha the Great, the first King to unite the Hawaiian Islands. 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, the final resting place of many U.S. service members from WWI to the present. Next, we will take you on a tour of East Oahu, including the Scenic Vistas of Oahu’s rugged East Coast. You will see the scenic lookout point known as the “blow hole”, a natural rock formation that spouts water through wave action. Take the view at Makapuu Point, at the eastern tip of the Island of Oahu. Then we will move on to drive through Kahala, the most expensive neighborhood in the world, known as the “Beverly Hills of Hawaii”. Then it is off to Diamond Head, the iconic volcano that is a prominent part of Honolulu’s skyline. We will drop you off at Diamond Head State Park (tickets are included) so that you may take a hike in the crater and see the great view of Honolulu below.

Here Are Some Points Of Interest That You Will See On Your Tour:
Sadako Crane
You will find a display at Pearl Harbor that houses a tiny folded paper crane. This crane was folded by a Japanese girl named Sadako Sasaki. She survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. While she survived the explosion, ten years after the bomb, she developed leukemia. While in the hospital, she began folding 1,000 paper cranes believing that doing so would grant her a wish. She managed to fold 1,400 before succumbing to leukemia at the age of twelve. Her crane folding caught the attention of many people, and Sadako became a symbol of people affected by the atomic bomb and the hope for world peace. The crane at Pearl Harbor was donated by her family as a symbol of peace.
Kaiten
A long black torpedo-like device is located in Bowfin Park outside of the Submarine Museum. This device is called a Kaiten. The Kaiten is a one-man suicide torpedo. Late in the war, the Imperial Japanese Navy knew they were losing and that the United States was inching ever closer to Japan. Like the well-known Kamikaze pilots, The operators of the Kaiten go on a one-way mission, in effect becoming a guided torpedo. They were meant to be launched from the backs of ships or the decks of submarines. Approximately 420 Kaiten were built, with three ships confirmed to be sunk.

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.
Tree of Life
The tree of life is a sculpture in Pearl Harbor located at the Pearl Harbor Visitor’s Center just outside of the “Road to War exhibit gallery.” The sculpture was designed by Alfred Preis, who also designed the USS Arizona Memorial Monument. The sculpture is meant to be a symbol of renewal and inspire contemplation. While you are at Pearl Harbor, be sure to check out this unique work of art. Don’t forget to also visit the exhibit galleries “Road to War” and “Attack.”
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.
Diamond Head
No one thing in the Honolulu skyline is more recognizable than Diamond Head. The dormant volcano rises out of the ground to dominate the Waikiki skyline. Diamond Head was named for the greenish olivine crystals found in the crater. These were mistaken for diamonds by early European travelers. As part of Fort Ruger, Diamond Head once housed Battery Harlow a coastal defense battery of 12-inch mortars and associated observation points. The coastal guns are long gone now. Diamond Head is accessible to the public with paid admission. The hike is about 1.6 miles up to the summit. Those who manage to hike up to the summit are rewarded with an amazing view of Waikiki below.
