USS Arizona Memorial located directly above the USS Arizona battleship that was sunk during the attack on December 7, 1941. The ship is the final resting place of many of the 1,177 officers and crewmen who were lost, and a powerful reminder of those who gave their lives for their country.
USS Missouri Battleship where you’ll walk in the footprints of General Douglas MacArthur, Admiral Chester Nimitz, and officers of the Allied Powers in 1945 when the instruments of surrender were signed on the ship, signaling the end WWII. “Mighty Mo” fought in WWII, the Korean War and in Desert Storm in the Persian Gulf, supporting the cause of freedom.
USS Bowfin Submarine, also known as the “Pearl Harbor Avenger”, played an epic role in the battles of the Pacific. You’ll walk through the remarkable vessel docked in the harbor and enjoy an included audio tour.
Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, located in two WWI hangars and retaining bullet holes from the December 7, 1941 attack, spans 105,000 square feet. An impressive array wartime aircraft is displayed including an authentic Japanese Zero, the type used in the attack.

This tour does not operate on Christmas, New Year’s Day or Thanksgiving.
Due to ceremonies on December 7th each year, the park is closed to commercial vehicles and we do not operate our normal tours to the USS Arizona Memorial on that date. Also, on rare occasions, and due to external factors outside of our control (including inclement weather and/or shortages of boat launch tickets), there is the possibility of not being able to visit the Arizona Memorial during your visit. You will still be able to visit the many Arizona exhibits and visitor’s center, the USS Bowfin and other monuments at the park.

We made a good decision in booking the World War II Heroes Deluxe Pearl Harbor Tour with this company. The arrangements were seamless with tickets and transportation to all four sites all handled easily. The bus was spotless and the covertly driven. But the highlight was our wonderful Driver, Kaleo. He was serious when appropriate for this solemn location, but hilarious on the drives to and from. Clearly an expert at handling the large bus, but a great personality that made the time coming and going pass easily.

Excellent & Thorough Tour of Pearl Harbor
From the USS Missouri, to the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museums, the USS Oklahoma monument, the USS Arizona Memorial, the exhibits at the Visitor Center, the Bowfin Submarine (which we did not board), and even a Bob Hope display, we completely enjoyed our day at Pearl Harbor and Ford Island. The time allotment and structure of the tour was thoughtfully planned and the personnel aboard the ship and in the museums were very helpful. Our driver and tour guide, Garfield, was exceptional! His insights and experiences were very valuable! We highly recommend this tour!
