Premium Pearl Harbor Experience
Explore Pearl Harbor in a smaller-group setting with live narration that helps connect the major events and landmarks of World War II. During the ride, archival photos and film clips are shown on the coach monitors before you arrive at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and continue to the USS Arizona Memorial.
