Pearl Harbor, Arizona Memorial, and Battleship Missouri Full-Day Tour at Hawaii

Pearl Harbor Full-Day Tour with Battleship Missouri and Arizona Memorial

This comprehensive Pearl Harbor tour takes you through Hawaii's most significant World War II sites in a single day. You'll visit the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, board a Navy boat to the USS Arizona Memorial, and explore the historic Battleship Missouri where Japan's surrender was signed. The tour includes convenient hotel pickup from select Waikiki locations and skip-the-line admissions to all major attractions.

Your guided experience begins at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center with multimedia presentations and exhibits covering the events of December 7, 1941. You'll see authentic photographs, artifacts, and hear survivor stories that provide context for the attack. From there, you'll take the solemn boat ride to the USS Arizona Memorial, which rests above the sunken battleship where 1,177 sailors and Marines lost their lives.

The tour continues aboard the "Mighty Mo" - Battleship Missouri - where you'll walk the same decks where General MacArthur accepted Japan's surrender in 1945. Your guide shares stories about daily life aboard the ship and its role in ending the war.
