This tour is moving in more ways than one. Explore and honor three historic sites that shaped the outcome of World War II. You will visit the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center where the United States was catapulted into World War II and its fight in the Pacific began. Next, enjoy a tour of the Battleship Missouri. Knowledgeable guides provide colorful stories about the ship’s history and life at sea during a 35-minute guided tour. Later, honor the freedoms bestowed upon us by all those who bravely served our country since WWI at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl. Before heading back into Waikiki, you will drive through historic Honolulu to see Hawaii State Capitol and Honolulu City Hall, `Iolani Palace, King Kamehameha Statue, and Kawaiaha`o Church.
Please note: A navy boat shuttle ride brings you to the USS Arizona Memorial and due to limited capacity, there may be days that the shuttle boat tickets sell out or bad weather prohibits the shuttle from operating.

The excursion was excellent. Here was the issue: The pickup point caused some nerve racking moments! The Hyatt Regency as a pick-up point was way, way to inexact. This was a huge property. The location on the map pointed to a place across the street from the Duke Kahanaomku statue at Waikiki Beach. That was NOT, NOT the place. The place was BEHIND the hotel on Koa Avenue. The directions and the paperwork sent to me by Viator said NOTHING of meeting on the Koa Avenue side!! This has me very scared because I have address for excursions I have chartered in both Paris and Rome in a few weeks. If these addresses are incorrect, then I am screwed. It was hard enough to get this straightened out in an English-speaking area. To have to figure out this under time pressure in a foreign country is going to be a nighmare, and I spent thousands of dollars on these excursions. I can't even begin to describe how angry I am going to be if our tour of the Vatican, Eiffel Tower or Louvre are messed up because of bad or incorrect information!!!

I took this tour with my 14 year old son. Efficient and well run tour, and our driver, Georgia, was great. Convenient pick ups and drop offs in Waikiki.

A great deal of history on this tour! Pearl Harbor is a must for all history buffs and Americans who had someone involved in WW2. Certainly bookends the war with having the USS Missouri there! A better (more versed in military verbiage and understanding) tour guide would have made this a 5-star tour for sure. Highly recommend this tour!

My husband and I took our first Hawaiian cruise in December and had the absolute pleasure of taking the Stars and Stripes tour with Georgia as our tour guide. While we both enjoyed visiting Pearl Harbor and the Battleship Missouri, Georgia was the highlight of the tour. She was very knowledgeable about the island and the sites we viewed along the way to our destination(s). Once we arrived she gave good instructions as to how we needed to proceed in order to make the most of our visits to Pearl Harbor and the Battleship Missouri. What stands out the most for me was Georgia's warm personality, the patience she showed with "not so cooperative passengers" and the extra attention she gave to senior passengers who needed just a little more help/time. Overall, the tour was great and Georgia was the best! Highly recommend this tour.

Our tour guide Elaine was extremely knowledgeble and helpful. Pick up times at the hotels were pretty prompt considering traffic. The tour bus was a smaller bus than the 50 seater used for the Oahu Island Tour but comfortable and plenty of room nonetheless. The 5 or so steps into the bus were a little steeper than those of the 50 seater but handrails were available on both sides for support. We visited all items as per the itinerary booked. While the tour was very interesting, I felt our time at the Visitors Centre at Pearl Harbour could have been longer. I didn't get time to see all exhibitions and was very conscious of time. The tour around the city was very interesting .. all areas covered though by the City Trolley lines as an fyi... All in all a great day, if a little rushed. Shout out to Elaine who made the experience all the more fun with her knowledge, banter and friendly demeanor.

Our guide was Cousin Lisa and not only did she give us a great tour of Pearl Harbor she was a wonderful ambassador for the people of Hawaii. She was kind and very attentive to her passengers. She gave us a bunch of fun facts about life in Hawaii for the average person and some of the traditions. Undaunted by a terrible freeway backup, she took an alternate route and continued pointing out things of interest on the way. Once at Pearl Harbor she made sure we knew where to go and was very clear about where we would find her afterwards. One of our biggest challenges in Hawaii was the vague way directions are given. Be sure to ask for specifics on pickups. If it is at an ABC store, what is the street address? (There is an ABC general store on every corner! ) Calling them to confirm your pickup the day before was helpful for us.
Our guide really added to our appreciation of Pearl Harbor and Hawaii.
