Disappointed
After paying for the tickets your company neglected to secure the actual boat ride to the memorial. We had to secure stand by seats.😢

Good Info Bad battery
I ordered 2 Multimedia tours. It was hard to follow the numbers around the park due to not always being visible. The information that was given was very informative. But when we were on the way to the Arizona Memorial one of the phones stopped working. The battery went dead. But because we paid for it on Trip Advisor that could not refund the money.

Must see!
Amazing, historical location that is a must see in Oahu. May we never forget what happened to our military and civilians.
N
A must see in the State
I have been here twice now, the first time there was an internment, (never held a salute for so long in my life), both times there is a solemnity that permeates the memorial. I salute my fallen comrades in arms.

A Great Historic Place to visit
This was a very informative tour with good commentary and ample time for individual exploration and observation. There were plenty of memorials to read about and explore. The place is spacious and clean, with easy-to-access restrooms and eating facilities.

Unnecessary purchase
We didn’t have to rent two self walking tour guides. One was sufficient. We gave our other one to another couple who did not purchase one. The movie was skipped prior to boat ride to the Arizona. Not sure why. I was here before and it was my husband 1st time and his your was not as memorable as my 1sr experience
