About Pearl Harbor Uncovered with Lunch
Spend a full day exploring the major historic sites of Pearl Harbor, with round-trip transportation from Waikiki included. Begin at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, where exhibits and a documentary introduce the events of December 7, 1941 before you continue to the memorials, ships and aviation displays throughout the complex.
Ride a Navy shuttle boat across the harbor to the USS Arizona Memorial, then tour the USS Bowfin submarine and continue to Ford Island. There, explore historic aircraft at the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum before boarding the USS Missouri, where Japan's formal surrender was signed in 1945.
