About Pearl Harbor and Honolulu City Tour
Visit Pearl Harbor and historic Honolulu on a guided Oahu tour with Waikiki or Ko Olina pickup, USS Arizona Memorial access when available and downtown sightseeing.
Departing directly from Waikiki and Ko Olina, this half-day journey immerses you in the turning point of December 7, 1941. Begin at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, where museum exhibits and a moving documentary set the stage before a Navy shuttle carries you across the harbor to the USS Arizona Memorial. Quiet moments above the sunken battleship offer a powerful reminder of those who served, while panoramic views toward the Battleship Missouri connect past and present within the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument.
Leaving Pearl Harbor behind, your guide traces Oahu's layered history on a scenic drive through downtown Honolulu. Pass the statue of King Kamehameha, see the graceful columns of Iolani Palace and the iconic State Capitol, then pause at punchbowl-shaped National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. Along the way, stories of Hawaiian royalty, missionaries and modern statehood bring each landmark into focus before you return to your hotel with a deeper appreciation of island and American heritage.
