Deluxe Pearl Harbor USS Arizona Memorial and Honolulu City Tour
Deluxe Pearl Harbor USS Arizona Memorial and Honolulu City Tour
No trip to O'ahu would be complete without a visit to Hawaii’s most visited historic location, the USS Arizona Memorial at the Pearl Harbor National Memorial. While other group tours are bus tours with around 30-60 people, we offer a small group tour with only eleven people in a comfortable, new model van that takes you directly to Pearl Harbor. You would not need to get up early in the morning to stand in line with thousands of other people to see if you can get a ticket for the Arizona Memorial.
We have reserved a ticket for the USS Arizona Memorial Monument, which is included for you in this tour (please read our disclaimer about the Arizona Memorial ticket). Because of this, you will not need to worry about an Arizona Memorial ticket. This Pearl Harbor tour is a short tour (about 4.5 – 5 hours) in duration.
