I really enjoyed the city tour. We didn't know much about the city so that was good. Jeff was very good.

My favorite tour by far, August 29, 2009
Reviewer: Diana from GA, USA

2 of 2 people found this review helpful

The tour guide was very informative and also very entertaining. I have been on many other tours in my life and most of the tour guides were boring and their narrations sounded like they were reading from a book. This tour and the guide were really something special and I would highly recommend this tour and your company to any of my friends and family.

My husband and I enjoyed everything. The USS Missouri was amazing. The tour guides were great. The time in Waikiki was lots of fun. It was a long day but we had a wonderful time. I wouldnât make any changes to this tour at all.

It is so hard to choose something that I liked about this tour over everything else. I wanted to see Pearl Harbor forever and it was wonderful. The tour of the city was a great bonus too. Thanks to Jonathan.

We are so happy we took this tour. Our tour guide Tavita not only shared valuable information about Pearl Harbor with us but he also sang for us which made the tour more interesting. We also loved how he answered all the questions we asked and he was always on time. We will definitely recommend Discover Hawaii Tours to family and friends!

Pearl Harbor tour featuring USS Arizona Memorial, USS Missouri Battleship, and Downtown Honolulu

A Pearl Harbor Tour is essential to any Hawaii vacation. Join us for our ever popular WWII Beginning to End Tour, complete with visits to Pearl Harbor’s USS Arizona Memorial and USS Missouri Battleship.

Before you arrive at Pearl Harbor, your tour guide will provide a brief history of the first attack on the US during World War II at Pearl Harbor. Arriving at the Arizona Memorial, you will view a historical film with authentic footage of the Pearl Harbor attack and then be taken to the Arizona Memorial aboard a Navy shuttle. At the Arizona Memorial, visit the Shrine Room and reflect on the names of the 1,177 men resting on the sunken battleship below. And be sure to peer down at the actual battleship wreckage along with the “black tears of the Arizona” – oil that still leaks from the vessel today.

Back at the Visitor’s Center, take time to browse through the fascinating Museum exhibits and explore the gift shop where you can find Pearl Harbor books, memorabilia and souvenirs. From the grounds of the Visitor’s Center, view battleship row and the USS Bowfin Submarine. The USS Missouri, located on Pearl Harbor’s Ford Island, is also easy to view from here and will in fact be the next stop on your journey.

At the USS Missouri Battleship, locally known as the “Mighty Mo,” see the table on which the Japanese signed a peace treaty effectively ending WWII. Also, see the dent caused by a Kamikaze plane as it nearly destroyed this famous warship.

After spending time at these two magnificent Pearl Harbor museums, let your guide take you for an exploration through downtown Honolulu. Learn and view notable attractions such as the Iolani Palace, King Kamehameha Statue, and Punchbowl National Cemetery of the Pacific. You will also drive by locations significant to the early life of President Barack Obama.

Inclusions:

• Professional Tour Guide
• Waikiki Hotel Pick Up & Drop Off
• Downtown Historic Honolulu City Tour
• Exploration of Barack Obama homes and schools in Hawaii
