Join us on a powerful historic journey starting with the surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941 that catapulted the U.S. into World War II and culminating with the September 2, 1945 surrender that ended the global conflict. Book your tickets now and explore the Pearl Harbor Battleship tour in Oahu. En-route to Pearl Harbor, our expert guide will recount the pivotal events leading up to the early morning aerial bombardment. Upon arrival at Pearl Harbor, you’ll begin with the USS Arizona Memorial Experience.
