Pearl Harbor Battleship Missouri General Admission & Self-Guided Tour

Very educational

Reviewed by: Monica and family

My husband is a history buff so he was able to expand on the information provided by the tour guide and my children learned a lot. Very informative and interesting. I would recommend this to anybody wanted to learn more about American history! Enjoy!

P.S. Make sure to wear good walking shoes.

Pearl Harbor museums, memorial

Reviewed by: Sally

Very fascinating and informative--too much to see in a day--we did the Bowfin submarine & submarine museum, the Arizona memorial, the outdoor exhibits, and the Missouri short-tour. would have liked the longer tour and completely missed the Pacific Air museum. could have used another half-day. exhibits and guides were great.

Pearl Harbor Battleship Missouri General Admission & Self-Guided Tour

Heart of Missouri Tour – A Must at Pearl

Reviewed by: Jack

On this tour we saw sights that other tours never get to. First stop was inside the gun turrets, followed by 90 minutes of learning below deck how the ship's guns are controlled, fired and reloaded; how the ships fire controls work; where the different crews lived; how the ward room got its name.
Our guide was the best I've ever had on any tour. Handled complex subjects in easy to understand terms. He is a retired Navy Vet who volunteers three days a week and loves every minute.
The tour lasted about two hours and our small group of 6 were sorry it had ended (supposed to be 90 minutes). Next time I'm in Hawaii, I'll go back for another visit.
Friends recommended this tour enthusiastically, and I do likewise.

Passport to Pearl Harbor Ticket - Official One-Day Admission & Self-Guided Tour

Inspiring

Reviewed by: Linda Donohoe

We totally enjoyed our tour of Pearl Harbor, the BowFin, the Mo and the Aviation Museum. History of that day became so real and also remembering stories from my in-laws regarding the black out shades. The two young children and a teenager enjoyed the short movie before going over to the Memorial as it gave them more insight to what happened that day. We hope the Aviation Museum will be able to have more planes the next time we visit, as that is quite fascinating going through the choppers. The kids all loved going through the BowFin and the Mo, too!

One-day passport to Pearl Harbor

Reviewed by: Herb

Veltra was great. They called to make sure we were good with our reservations and faxed a copy of our reservation to Pearl Harbor when we were not able to print the voucher.

Pearl Harbor was a great experience. Pearl Harbor is a must for any American visiting Hawaii, great history lesson. I learned a lot of information I was not aware of.

Important information: the Passport does not include a ticket to the USS Arizona. Show up between 6:30-6:45 a.m. to get your ticket. Theses tickets are free (not included with the passport). The only thing I would say is a must is: USS Arizona, USS Arizona audio tour, and tour the USS Wisconsin.

A must see

Reviewed by: Phil

Passport includes all four museums at Pearl Harbor, but you must still get there early to pick up your Arizona tour tickets. I got in line at 7am, and had no problems. It was important for us to stop and learn more in detail about the events in Dec 1941, while paying respect to those who lived and fought in WWII. USS Missouri was quite a sight as well as you get to see a lot of the ship on your tour.

Passport to Pearl Harbor Ticket - Official One-Day Admission & Self-Guided Tour

One day Pearl Harbor Pass

Reviewed by: Terri

First, Veltra was very easy to work with and very accommodating. I had to change the date of my excursion 3 times due to conflict involving the homecoming of a Navy vessel my son serves on. Once the date was locked in and we were able to visit the site it was a flawless experience. Ticket processing was easy and the museums were amazing. I will book through Veltra again. During summer just remember to arrive early to get the USS Arizona Memirial tickets since they do run out. It is a lot to accomplish in one day. We started at 7:45 and ended around 4:00pm.

Passport to Pearl Harbor Ticket - Official One-Day Admission & Self-Guided Tour

Very Full & Informative Day

Reviewed by: Anonymous

The passport is a fantastic way to see all of Pearl Harbor! Be prepared for a full-day, and definitely get there as early as you can. I was unable to secure a ticket to the USS Arizona online, so I arrived around 8:15 and got a ticket for 9:30, but the limited tickets to the USS Arizona Memorial were sold out by 11am, so get there early (especially in the summer)!

Since you cannot bring anything with you (other than what fits in your pockets) make sure to have some money for drinks and snacks and don't forget your camera! I'm not a huge WWII history buff, but it was a truly fascinating and moving experience being aboard the gleaming white memorial.

The USS Bowfin and Missouri are amazing if you have never been on a submarine or battleship before, and the Pacific Aviation Museum is excellent as well. This is definitely something I would recommend to any and all, just make sure to eat a good breakfast and wear comfortable shoes!

Passport to Pearl Harbor Ticket - Official One-Day Admission & Self-Guided Tour

Great Value

Reviewed by: Dirk

If you are interested in learning in-depth the attach on Pearl Harbor, the role that subs played in the war, the expanded use of aircraft during the war and the final surrender that took place on the USS Missouri then making use of the new passport that's being offered is for you. I spent an entire day taking advantage of the audio tours that are part of the passport package and was able to do all these things at my own pace. Admission to the sub, the Aviation Museum, the USS Missouri and the shuttle ride to Ford Island as well as the audio guide equipment are all included plus, if you prefer, you can have a guided tour of the Missouri instead of the audio. Of course there is no admission charge to visit the Arizona Memorial but you will get an audio guide device to tour the museum and the park area. The bottom line is that this passport offer is awesome if you have the time and are a WWII history buff.

ビジョップミュージアムーハワイアンーガーデエンツアー

Reviewed by: nanoa

母と私達姉妹とおばと4人で参加しました。ハワイが初めての母と叔母にハワイを感じてほしくて申し込みしました。当日母達が時間を間違えて30分程遅れてしまいましたが、スタッフの方の対応もよくてその後のスケジュールにも支障がでずに済みました。
内容はレイ作りとフラレッスンでしたが、それ以外にもスタッフの方の計らいでククイの実を拾って割ってみたりと他では体験出来ないような内容です。
レイとフラは先生も普段では、教えていただけないよな先生にきちんと教えて頂き初心者の母や叔母もとても喜んでいました。夜にはホテルで復習するほどに夢中になっていました。
ハワイというと観光、買い物、グルメと思いますが、ハワイの歴史や文化にふれあうこの様なツアーに参加してみるのもとてもいい思い出になると思います。
友達同士もいいけど親子で参加すると意外な発見や絆を感じることが出来ると思います。
とても大満足なツアーでした。ありがとうございました。
ただ、お水を頂けるのですが、一人一本のボトルではなく紙コップ一杯の水なのでマイボトルを持参したほうがいいと思います。

Our tour of the Missouri was great! The only drawback was that some of the upper decks were off limits due to construction. We really wanted to see the entire ship, but that didn't happen.

Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and offered some fantastic information!

USS Missouri

Reviewed by: Rhonda

I was hesitant whether or not to go to the USS Missouri while visiting Pearl Harbor because we did not have a full day to spend there. I am glad I did. We did the tour on our own, which I would recommend if you are on a time restraint as we were. We were able to stop and listen to some of the guides as they were communicating with their groups and overall had a great experience for the cost.

Nice Tour with a Workout

Reviewed by: Val

Nice tour - interesting tidbits along the way. I think the Explorer's Tour is worth the extra. You get to venture where the ropes are. You do some bending and ducking as you enter the various door entry areas on the ship. I think you get more out of the ship tour with the guide than just visiting without a tour guide.
ps - I selected good for families but that is also a judgment call depending on how mindful the children are in dealing with tight quarters and time-constraints to visit various areas of the ship.

The explorer's tour is worth the extra money. Instead of just wandering around on a few decks you get a personally guided tour of about 4 secluded decks including one of the BIG 16 inch gun turrets. Very interesting to see how a battleship works.
