Honolulu tour featuring USS Arizona Memorial, USS Bowfin Submarine, USS Missouri Battleship, the Pacific Aviation Museum, Downtown Honolulu and a 30 Minute Deluxe Oahu Air Tour

This two-day air and land tour is the ultimate Pearl Harbor and WW2 experience. We will take you back to Sunday December 7, 1941 when the Japanese Zero planes launched an astonishing attack on the US Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor, Oahu.

On your way to Pearl Harbor, our WWII expert guide will explain in detail the events which led up to the attack. Once you arrive at the Arizona park, you'll embark on an experience of drama and devastation which is now known as "a date that will live in infamy".

Your Pearl Harbor experience begins with a brief film showing actual footage of the attack. After the film, board a Navy shuttle boat which will take you to the site of the USS Arizona Memorial, an attractive commemorative monument. Look down and see the actual battleship sunken below, easy to see through the clear Pacific Ocean. As you look down from above, see the "Black Tears of the Arizona," which still ooze out of the ship wreckage, mourning all of those who were lost that dreadful day.

Also, while at Pearl Harbor visit the USS Bowfin Submarine, the USS Missouri Battleship, and the Pacific Aviation Museum. Tour all three of these facilities and take in the breadth of history that each will provide. The USS Bowfin Submarine is filled with narrow living spaces and high tech machinery. The USS Missouri Battleship is where the Japanese signed surrender documents to end WWII. And the Pacific Aviation Museum brings aviation and history to life.

After your day spent at Pearl Harbor, we will take you on an air tour guaranteed to remain in your memory forever. Your flight will actually trace the path the Japanese Zero aircrafts took on their way to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The 30 minute scenic air tour will fly west out of Honolulu airport headed for the pristine Waianae coast and over the expansive Eva plains, dotted with pineapple fields and located in the foothills of the prominent Waianae mountain range. After soaring over the mountains you'll fly the exact same path, through the infamous Kolekole valley, as the Japanese Zeros' flew.

Tora, Tora are the code-words used by the Japanese pilots to signify that absolute surprise was accomplished in their attack at Pearl Harbor, Oahu(tora is Japanese for "tiger" but on this occasion, "to" is the opening syllable of the Japanese word totsugeki, meaning "charge" or "attack", and "ra" is the opening syllable of raigeki, meaning "torpedo attack").
