Pearl Harbor Guided Arizona Memorial & USS Battleship Missouri Tour by E Noa / [7:30 AM] Waikiki Departure
Exceeded my expectations
As a first time visitor to Hawaii, this 7 hour tour of Honolulu and Pearl Harbor covered everything I was hoping for. Our guide Finny was extremely knowledgable and courteous. The first part of the tour focused on the history of the islands, the culture prior the American annexation and the impact of our occupation on the people and their culture. In addition to taking us to many historical sites, Finny pointed out some familiar Hawaii 50 filming locations and the harbor where the Gilligan's Island 3 hour tour started. The 2nd part of the tour was Pearl Harbor. The visit included dedicated tickets to the USS Arizona Memorial (where the war started) and the USS Missouri Battleship (where the Japanese surrendered to General MacArthur. Finny pointed out many interesting details of the attack and some of the heroes of the day, that I was not previously aware of. The visit was a very moving and memorable experience.
Security does not allow you to enter the base with any back packs or bags. You can carry small items like cell phones and a water bottle. Storage lockers are available.
I highly recommend this tour for first time visitors to Pearl Harbor and Honolulu.
