USS Missouri

Reviewed by: Jo&Peter, 2022/09/21

What a fantastic experience, this was definitely something that my hubby wanted to do on his bucket list, so glad we got to do this.
The tour guide we had was informative and friendly and we had plenty of time to wander about after our tour.
Definitely a must see.

Every staff member we encountered were super polite and happy. The 30 minute tour was very informative. Enjoyed being able to take my time after guided tour to really experience what life was like on the ship during that time. The ship Is really well preserved.

The self guided tour is the best.

Reviewed by: LPJR, 2022/04/19

Walk and see at your own pace and time.
The shuttle bus is on time and not packed.
The bus drivers/tour guides provides good info and details on the sites visited.

Great historical experience!

Reviewed by: Family with kids, 2022/01/17

We took our two boys, ages 6 & 8 and it was a perfect historical experience. Captivating, educational, great length and easy tour for young children. Highly recommend! I was worried about a longer tour that would lose the kids interest, but this did not disappoint. Both my boys loved the experience.

Joe was our tour guide for the Missouri tour and he was awesome. He took us below deck to see the heart and soul of the ship. We learned so much from Joe any history buff would love this tour.

A very good behind the scenes tour

Reviewed by: Diana, 2017/09/19

Our guide was informative and personable. I had thought that a more complete tour was included, but we did get comprehensive into regarding behind-the-scenes operations. Unfortunately, we didn't allow enough time to explore the other areas.

Wonderful experience

Reviewed by: Dave Rabl, 2014/11/08

The battleship Missouri Memorial @ Pearl Harbor is a not to be missed experience. From the sheer size of the ship to the complexity of its workings, to the knowledgeable and competent guides and the great historical presence of the vessel, this is an experience like no other I have enjoyed. It would be easy just to marvel at the size and power of the ship but it also forces you to take pause and wonder at human ingenuity and capacity to create truly awesome weapons of war when the need arises. I heartily recommend this visit as a highlight of my time in Honolulu.

Awesome tour and a must for Vets or History Buffs

Reviewed by: Ian, 2014/10/04

As a U.S. Navy Vet I was already beyond excited to go visit the iconic ship, but what was even cooler was being able to have access to so much of ship. However, the best part was being able to stand where the unconditional surrendering of the Japanese took place. Really neat! Only tip I can give is to take the early tours to have more time in each compartment, we took the 9am tour and our group was only 6 people (compared to the 15+ in the group after).

Very educational

Reviewed by: Monica and family, 2014/08/25

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.

Heart of Missouri Tour – A Must at Pearl

Reviewed by: Jack, 2013/10/26

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.

Great fun!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2011/03/30

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!

You will definitely learn alot!

USS Missouri

Reviewed by: Rhonda, 2011/03/01

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, 2008/10/11

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.

nice tour

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/09/29

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.

An outstanding tour. We did the "Explorers' Tour" which was fascinating and John, our guide, was brilliant. A once in a lifetime opportunity to see the workings of a battleship and see what our brave men had to endure with 'life on board'.

Viewing the USS Missouri

Reviewed by: Cruzin, 2008/04/26

I just want to say this was one of the most enjoyable, educational tours we've taken. 'Mr. Bill' our guide was very informative and had a sense of humor. I would recommend the full Explorer tour to everyone, you learn so much. As my father was on the USS Colorado for twenty years and I always wanted to know what life was really like during the war on one of these beautiful ships. It is really hard to imagine what our boys went through during WWII and have great admiration for all those that served.
