Client’s Testimonials

Pick up was right on time in a luxurious van and our driver Tom was great, very professional. Spent the whole day exploring Pearl Harbor and it was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend the full day tour so you can experience everything Pearl Harbor has to offer.

It got off to a rough start. Pickup was late because of traffic but the driver got us to Pearl Harbor on time. He was very courteous and made sure we were ok before he let us go on our way. The city tour was fun.

We had an awesome time at Pearl Harbor. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and polite. We will definitely use this service again on our next trip to Hawaii.

M. Santiago

Great service. Highly recommended.

We had a smooth ride from our Waikiki hotel to the Arizona Memorial today! Our guide was very knowledgeable and upbeat, was right on time and a complete gentleman. We appreciated the great service!

My wife and I flew over from Maui for a one day visit as we wanted to see the Pearl Harbor Memorial and take a quick spin of Oahu. The flight, Pearl Harbor tour was set up as a package deal through this company. The flight was smooth, and the visit to the memorial was unforgettable. It was sobering and

We really enjoyed this tour. We were picked up right on time at our hotel and taken to the Pearl Harbor area. Our tour guide, walked us into the park and gave us all the details of where and what to see. He gave an explanation of what we would see. Everthing was well planned and our guide even pointed out several landmarks on the drive back to the hotel. Timing was perfect. I highly recommend this tour. The pickup was essentially on time. Our driver was great. Very patient and relatively soft spoken. He was a wealth of knowledge and I could tell well read. He got us to our destination on time. Explained how to get to our boat on time to the Arizona Memorial and to the Missouri. Our guide was knowledgable and we had a brief tour of downtown Honolulu and the Punchbowl. The vans were very clean and the AC worked well. The seats were comfortable and we weren’t crowded. We’ll definitely book again next time in Honolulu.

Our guide was great. He took us around and gave us great city tour showing us lots of highlights in the city. He was very knowledgeable and gave recommendations for other sights we might want to see.

Our tour guide was very prompt and professional. He was easy to understand and talked loudly enough that everyone could hear. A city tour followed our Pearl Harbor and USS Arizona Memorial Tour. Very enjoyable.

We took this tour to Pearl Harbor on a windy rainy day and that caused some disappointment. I have to say first off that our driver, was excellent and tried to make the best of it. Once we got to the memorial park we were informed it was too windy for the Park Service/Navy to drive the boat out to the memorial itself, so after waiting for our scheduled time slot to see a 20-minute movie (that was good) we were left with over an hour to kill, in the rain, waiting for our van to return. The rest of the tour was ok, with a stop at the palace for a brief photo op, and some driving through other attractions, but overall the weather killed the experience for us.

Uss arizona memorial tours review by happy client, pearl harbor historic tours review by happy client, uss arizona memorial experience by happy client, exclusive review of pearl harbor memorial tribute by happy client, educate yourself about pearl harbor, 70 interesting & fun facts about pearl harbor.

1. One of the best days to come to Pearl Harbor is on Dec 7th, this day has the most activities for visitors to experience, yet it’s one of the slowest days of the year.

2. Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum is the only Aviation Museum in the country on an actual WWII battleground.

3. A few years ago, without notice, the US Navy sailors decided to end the USS Arizona Memorial shuttle early, with the excuse of bad weather, so that they could watch the Super Bowl. This led to hundreds of complaints that afternoon to the National Park Service, which in turn went to the Admiral of Pearl Harbor the next day. Needless to say, it never happened again.

Pearl Harbor Ticket – USS Arizona Memorial Ticket

The Arizona Memorial is the most visited attraction in Hawaii. For every 5 people visiting the Hawaiian Islands, only one has the opportunity to visit the most respected monument in the United States. This is because of the limitation of Arizona Memorial Tickets with around 5,000 people visiting Pearl Harbor every day. This adds up to around 2 million people a year visiting Pearl Harbor. One question that many people ask is, “Do I need Pearl Harbor tickets?” They also ask “How do I get Pearl Harbor Tickets?” The answer to the first question is: yes. You do need tickets to go to all of the Pearl Harbor Historic sites. For the USS Arizona Memorial, there are Arizona Memorial tickets that are in high demand and require a reservation. For the USS Missouri Battleship, there are USS Missouri Battleship tickets. For the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, there are Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum tickets. For the USS Bowfin Submarine, there are USS Bowfin Submarine tickets. The only ticket at Pearl Harbor that requires a reservation is the Arizona Memorial ticket. How can you go about getting one? This article will explain how:

The Most Visited Destination on Oahu

Pearl harbor memorial.

Pearl Harbor National Memorial is like no other destination in the United States; located on a World War II battlefield, serving as a strategic naval base for the United States pacific fleet, it is here during the Japanese Dec 7, 1941, sneak attack that our country lost 2,008 sailors, 218 army soldiers, and 109 Marines. In addition, the wounded included 1,178 service members and civilians that worked at Pearl Harbor. Of the 130 ships docked within the Harbor, 21 were severely damaged or sunk, and three of our Battleships were a total loss, the Arizona  Battleship ,  USS  Oklahoma  battleship , and the  USS  Utah  battleship .  Now Ford Island is the active military base of the US Navy.

For visitors of Pearl Harbor, it’s the opportunity to see firsthand where World War II began  for the United States. Many repeat visitors return to pay their respects at the  USS  Arizona  Memorial Monument  and explore the other Pearl Harbor Historical sites.

Pearl Harbor is one of our county’s most historic locations with seven distinct destinations, each with its own World War II story to tell, each site as compelling as the next, none you and your family will want to miss. The Pearl Harbor National Memorial includes the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, the  USS  Arizona  Memorial , the  USS  Bowfin  Submarine Museum & Park , the  USS  Missouri  Memorial , the  Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum , the USS  Oklahoma  Memorial, and the USS  Utah  Memorial . 

We have to credit the Navy and National Park Service for their vision, which led them to create the new $65 million Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. The Pearl Harbor National Memorial’s outdoor exhibits and museums have world-class displays. The Visitor Center offers movie documentaries with live footage of Dec 7, 1941, the day that launched the United States into WWII and the War in the Pacific.

The focal point of the Pearl Harbor National Memorial is the USS  Arizona , where 1,177 sailors and marines died when a Japanese armor-piercing bomb exploded in the ship’s ammunition magazine, which immediately sunk and ripped the ship into two. Each day, the US Navy transports the visitors to the  Arizona Memorial on a 150-passenger shuttle to allow them to pay their respects to these fallen heroes. A lot of people want to know about Pearl Harbor hour. Tours run daily, every 15 minutes, from 8 am to 3 pm.

Within the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center are museums, theaters, the USS  Bowfin  Submarine Museum & Park, the Pearl Harbor Virtual Reality Center, and a transportation depot to the USS Missouri Memorial, USS  Oklahoma  Memorial, and the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum .

If you plan to visit Oahu, do not miss your opportunity to visit the Pearl Harbor National Memorial, not only for its historical importance but where your pride and patriotism will come alive!

December 7th, 1941 – When the World Changed Forever

The attack on the Pacific Fleet of the United States was unprecendented. That Sunday morning the Japanese invades awakened “The Sleeping Giant” that was the United States of America. December 7th, 1941 is one of those dates in history, much like July 4th, 1776, that is near and dear in the hearts of Americans. Anyone who lived through this time period can most likely tell you where they were on that day when they heard the news that the Japanese have attacked Pearl Harbor. Although the United States had been actively contributing to the Allies in the European Theatre against the advances of Germany, this event formally threw the USA into the Second World War.

In just a few short hours, the mighty American fleet at Pearl Harbor had been savagely attacked and shattered, giving the Japanese the advantage and leaving the mighty US Navy in shock. The assault was a combined effort between Japanese bombers and fighter planes as well as very small submarines that came into the harbor to deliver torpedoes. The main target of the attack was the backbone of the Pacific Fleet located at Battleship Row where the ‘Mighty Missouri’ now stands for visitors to tour. Fortunately for the United States, the incredibly valuable aircraft carriers were out to sea and survived to mount a counter-offensive in 1942 at Midway and Coral Sea where the US Navy struck two decisive blows.

Your visit to Pearl Harbor will be a day you will remember forever. The facilities at Pearl Harbor do as much to inspire awe in the event itself as to educate and bring alive the history of this period. You’ll get an in-depth experience about the events leading up to the attack as well as how Pearl Harbor and the island of Oahu were pivotal during the remainder of World War 2. If you’re visiting Hawaii and haven’t gotten a chance to experience this historic site, now is the time to visit one of America’s most important historic sites.
