Both the guide and narration enhance your experience at Pearl Harbor and the round-trip transportation saves the headaches of driving and finding parking (the parking lot is currently under construction) When you're unfamiliar with an area, it can be difficult to navigate the roads and highways.

Following your program at the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Park, your guide takes you to many places that you may not get to see on your own. Imagine that you are driving through downtown Honolulu, and you pass the beautiful Iolani Palace, not knowing what it is you're seeing, or the history of the treasured palace. With your friendly guide, you will know exactly what you're seeing, its history, and maybe even an inside fact or two.
