Overview

Visit Pearl Harbor and have access to the USS Arizona Memorial.

You'll have ~3 hours for a self-guided visit, including the museums and boat ride to the USS Arizona Memorial (Tickets First Come First Serve). This is the only tour that also includes a guided walk through Historic Downtown Honolulu, visiting ʻIolani Palace, King Kamehameha Statue, and more.
