About Kauai to Oahu - World War II Heroes Deluxe Pearl Harbor Tour
Fly from Lihue to Honolulu for a full day focused on Pearl Harbor and the major World War II sites surrounding the harbor. After arriving on Oahu, your guide meets you at the airport and takes care of the transportation so you can spend the day exploring the history instead of managing the logistics.
The visit begins at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center before you cross the harbor by Navy vessel to the USS Arizona Memorial. Back on shore, continue to the Bowfin Submarine, then head to Ford Island to walk aboard the Battleship Missouri, where Japan formally surrendered at the end of World War II.
The day also includes time at the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, with restored aircraft, historic hangars and exhibits connected to the events of December 7, 1941. Lunch is included at the museum’s Hangar Cafe before you continue with the day’s sightseeing and return flight to Kauai.
