This Pearl Harbor Tour is great for those interested in WWII history and especially aviation history. This tour takes you to the heart of Hawaii, where Pearl Harbor is located. The Arizona Memorial is the most visited tourist destination in Hawaii. The USS Arizona Memorial Monument is the resting place for 1,177 American sailors and marines. This tour includes the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, America’s only aerial battlefield. Visit hangars that were present during the attack on December 7, 1941. View the bullet holes made by the attacking Japanese aircraft on that day. Take in many historic aircraft from WWII right up to today, including iconic aircraft such as the Japanese A6M2 Zero fighter, the B-17 Flying Fortress bomber, the F-14 Tomcat fighter, the SBD Dauntless dive bomber, and many more. On the way back to Waikiki, you will be taken on a short drive-through tour of downtown Honolulu. We have multiple location pick-ups (Waikiki, airport, and Honolulu port) for this tour.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
The Arizona Memorial is the most visited attraction in the State of Hawaii. This memorial is built over the wreck of the battleship USS Arizona. It is a memorial to everyone who died in the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. This attack pulled the United States into WWII. The memorial is also a memorial to the 1,177 sailors and marines who died aboard the USS Arizona when a Japanese bomb detonated her ammunition magazine. Almost half of the 2,403 US military personnel died in the attack. The Arizona Memorial spans the wreck of the battleship but does not touch it. The Arizona Memorial is only accessible by US Navy-operated shuttle boat.
2.
Located on Ford Island in Pearl Harbor is the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum. This aviation museum is unique because it is located on an aerial battlefield. The Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum inhabits three buildings of the former Naval Air Station Pearl Harbor. The two hangars and the administrative building with the control tower were all present during the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941. Damage from the attack can still be found on Hargar 79. Today the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum houses a growing collection of aircraft dating from WWII to today. Among them are some truly rare aircraft. The museum also features a flight combat simulator and a rotating exhibit housed in a separate area called the Raytheon Pavilion.
3.
Statue of King Kamehameha ( Short Stop ) In front of Aliiolani Hale, the home of the Supreme Court of the State of Hawaii is the golden statue of King Kamehameha the Great. Kamehameha the Great was the man who united the Islands of Hawaii under his rule, becoming Hawaii's first King and the founder of the Kingdom of Hawaii. State Capitol Building ( Pass By ) The Hawaii State Capitol Building was purpose-built to be the seat of power for the State of Hawaii. The State Capitol is a Bauhaus-inspired design with a lot of symbolism built into it. For example, the pillars represent the trunks of Royal Palms which are a Hawaiian symbol of governance. Each pillar represents a Hawaiian Island. Iolani Palace ( Pass By ) Commissioned by King David Kalakaua, Iolani palace is the only Royal Palace on American soil. Built in 1879, the palace served as the seat of power for the Kingdom of Hawaii until the overthrow of its last Queen in 1893.
4.
Washington Place ( Pass By ) Was once the home of Hawaii's last monarch Queen Liliuokalani. The home was built in 1847 in the Greek Revival style, similar to many homes in the antebellum South. Washington Place was built by the Dominis family. John Dominis was the husband of Queen Liliuokalani. Upon his death, ownership of the residence passed to her. After the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy, Liliuolkalani lived the rest of her days in this house. After her death, it became the residence of Hawaii's Governors. Kawaiahao Church ( Pass By ) Kawaiahao Church is the oldest church in Honolulu. This church, also known as the Westminster of Hawaii, once served as the main church for the Hawaiian Royal Family. The church was designed by Hiram Bingham, who led the first Christian mission to Hawaii in 1821. To help with converting native Hawaiians to Christianity, his mission committed the Hawaiian language to writing and creating the Hawaiian language Bible.
5.
National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific is a federal cemetery built in the caldera of an extinct volcano. Known by the locals as Punchbowl Cemetery, the site is the final resting place of American soldiers and veterans of wars ranging from WWI to today. The centerpiece of this cemetery is the memorial to those veterans of wars involving America who are missing in action or were buried at sea. The central figure of this memorial is the statue of Lady Columbia. Below the sculpture is an excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's letter to Mrs. Bixby. Many of those who were killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor are buried in this cemetery, including many whose remains are unidentified.
6.

Roland’s command of the local history made the tour more interesting! His narrations gave us a good prep for our visit to Pearl Harbor.

Helicopters and jets all had stories attached to them . Unfortunately, there was construction so a lot of the artifacts were outside or basically piled up together from Hangar 79. Hangar 37 had no such issues. Definitely come see !

Very moving presentation at Pearl Harbor; US Navy and US Park Service were great. Our tour driver was great and very knowledgeable. Only downside was the shave ice at the USS Missouri was not legitimate shave ice but was like a snow cone!

Pickup and drop off location at airport and at Pearl Harbor was a very long walk for someone with difficulty walking. We were small group but having a limo could not have been very good for visibility on the city tour if we had been able to spend the time.

Great! It's always nice to see different types of aircraft everywhere. Some history I never knew. I was gratified that they told some stories of the enemy and respected their dead pilot.
