Pearl Harbor one-day tour - USS Arizona Memorial, USS Missouri and Punchbowl National Cemetery - Honolulu, Oahu

Take a tour of two iconic US warships: the USS Arizona and the USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor!

Your guide will take you on to Pearl Harbor Bay to relive the most significant moments of World War II. You'll see the two battleships that symbolise the beginning and end of the war; the attack on the USS Arizona by the Japanese army in 1941 triggered the United States' entry into battle, while Japan's surrender that sealed the end of the Second World War was signed on the deck of the USS Missouri. 

Next, head over to the USS Arizona Memorial; this is located on the water above the wreckage of the ship on which 1,177 soldiers lost their lives. It is the main monument of Pearl Harbor. You'll also see the famous ship USS Missouri, which is moored on Ford Island, a small island in the middle of the bay that is only accessible by authorised vehicles. Take a look around this ship that fought so bravely and walk in the footsteps of General Douglas MacArthur, Admiral Chester Nimitz, and the officers of the Allied Forces of 1945. Finally, you'll see footage of the attack in the Visitor Center theatre, wander through the historic galleries and exhibits, and hear the stories of former crew members.

You'll continue your tour on an air-conditioned bus to take in Honolulu's iconic sites. On the agenda: the Punchbowl National Cemetery, the statue of King Kamehameha, and other monuments that once housed the Hawaiian royal family and are now home to the State of Hawaii’s governing institutions.
