You'll board a U.S. Navy-operated shuttle boat that takes you across the harbor to the memorial itself.
At the USS Arizona Memorial, you'll have time to reflect and pay your respects. The white structure sits above the sunken battleship, which still rests on the harbor floor. You’ll be able to see parts of the ship below the water and may even notice oil droplets – often referred to as the "tears of the Arizona" – still rising to the surface.
This experience offers a powerful, emotional, and educational glimpse into a pivotal moment in history.

Great shuttle service and tour guide!
It was really nice to be shuttled all around, parking can be a bit of a problem at the memorial so we chose the tour this time. Plenty of time to look around, Nani our driver was fun and very knowledgeable. My only tiny issue is there is very little food options at the site, not the tour’s fault, just be better prepared. Eat a big breakfast first! Would still recommend!

DO IT!
Amazing tour guide. Seamless process. Length was good. Great for families with respectful kiddos. Bus ride was chill and limited participants. Worth the cost for the ride alone, the added history and comedy is a bonus.

We love E Noa & Nani!
Nani was amazing driving & giving us the best tour and information possible. Everyone recognized him and the entire bus loved him. He made the excursion even better than we expected! It was the perfect half day adventure for our 2 week stay and the value for what we paid was amazing quality and experience.

Great Pearl Harbor Tour Experience with Kimo!
Kimo was our guide and did a fabulous job educating us on the entire ride to and from Pearl Harbor. His tour bus driving was exceptional and we’d highly recommend him to anyone! (Unreal ukulele skills as a bonus)!

Excellent half day tour of Pearl Harbor
Kimo was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about the islands, from history to agriculture to weather etc, making the drive to and from Pearl Harbor very enjoyable. He thoroughly explained what to expect at the memorial and how to plan our morning to be able to watch the film, see the museums, catch the ferry, visit the USS Arizona memorial, visit the bookshop and make it back to the bus. The visit to the memorial itself was extremely moving. On the way back, he treated our small bus group to a ukulele song! Highly recommend, Kimo took very good care of us.
