Pick-up from Waikiki Hotels & Resorts
When you arrive at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, take your time exploring exhibits with artifacts from December 7, 1941. You will learn about the events that changed history and reflect by the waterfront. Don’t forget to check out the bookstore and gift shop for souvenirs to remember your visit.
Before visiting the USS Arizona Memorial, all guests will watch a powerful documentary film about the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The film provides unique historical context, featuring archival footage and survivor stories, offering insight into the events of that pivotal day.
After watching the documentary film, board a Navy ferry for a 10-minute ride across the harbor to the USS Arizona Memorial. Once there, you will have about 30 minutes to explore the memorial, reflect on the historic events that unfolded, and pay tribute to the service members who lost their lives.
Visit the Dole Plantation and explore the lush pineapple gardens while learning about Hawaii’s unique agricultural history. Don't miss the famous Dole Whip for a sweet treat, and take in the colorful rainbow eucalyptus trees. It’s a fun stop for everyone with a taste of the island’s tropical charm.
Drive along Oahu’s famous North Shore, with surf spots like Waimea Bay and Sunset Beach, famous for their massive winter waves. Enjoy views of island landscapes and coastal towns before cruising through historic Haleiwa, a laid-back surf town filled with colorful storefronts and art galleries.
Explore 6 unique villages, each with performances & interactive activities. Watch Maori warriors perform the haka in New Zealand, visit Samoa to see fire-making with just a stick and coconut, or learn Hawaiian hula. With so much to see, the Polynesian Cultural Center brings island cultures to life!
Stop off at Kualoa Regional Park, home to the best views of Mokoli‘i, or as it was once called, Chinaman’s Hat. Take in the views of the Ko'olau Mountains and the iconic offshore islet. This peaceful spot offers a perfect photo opportunity and a chance to relax while enjoying Oahu's scenic coast.
