Fly from Kona to Oahu for a full Pearl Harbor day with the USS Arizona Memorial, Battleship Missouri, Bowfin submarine and Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum included.
Fly from Kona to Oahu for a full day immersed in the history of Pearl Harbor. This comprehensive neighbor island tour brings together the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, Arizona Memorial, USS Bowfin submarine, USS Missouri battleship and Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum in one carefully planned experience.
After an early morning flight from Kona to Honolulu, begin at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, where World War II exhibits and historic displays help set the scene. Watch a documentary featuring footage from the 1941 attack, then board a Navy shuttle boat to the Arizona Memorial and pay tribute to the servicemen who lost their lives aboard the sunken USS Arizona below.
