Itinerary
At Pearl Harbor, learn about one of the most pivotal moments in US history: the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the subsequent entry of the United States into World War II.
The USS Arizona Memorial, at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii, marks the resting place of 1,102 of the 1,177 sailors and Marines killed on USS Arizona during the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and commemorates the events of that day. If tickets to the Navy boat launch tour out to the Arizona Memorial are available by the National Park on the day of your tour they will be provided. Otherwise, the Arizona Memorial can be seen from the shoreline at the Visitor Center.
USS Missouri (BB-63) was the last battleship commissioned by the United States and is best remembered as the site of the surrender of the Empire of Japan, which ended World War II.
USS Bowfin (SS-287) is a fleet attack submarine that fought in the Pacific during WWII, and helped to make famous the term, “Silent Service.” Bowfin was launched on 7 December 1942, exactly one year after the attack on Pearl Harbor. She was nicknamed the Pearl Harbor Avenger, so it is fitting that her permanent home is at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
The museum hosts a variety of aviation exhibits with a majority relating directly to the attack on Pearl Harbor and World War II.
Active military base with wayside exhibits and memorials. A clear view of the Arizona Memorial can be seen from the shore. Bookstore offering gifts and historic memorabilia.

Glad we did it.
This was very informative, a poignant account of our country’s history that every American should experience at some time. On the other hand, there was some down time when I felt like we could’ve made the trip shorter by an hour or maybe two.
Q

Great tour!
Don’t skimp on cost - the “Deluxe Tour” is well worth the cost. All venues you’d want to visit are provided, ie, USS Missouri, USS Arizona, Bowfin sub, Aviation Museum and more…plus lunch….also, plenty of time to wander on your own, particularly on the battleship, USS Missouri. Lots of history covered. And fwiw, our tour guide, Mike, was excellent, as well as entertaining.
