Complete Pearl Harbor Tour with Lunch - Visit Main Exhibits, Memorials & Museums

A great day of history.

Reviewed by: KD

This was the one tour that my soon-to-be husband wanted to do since he is a big World War II fan. Our favorite part was visiting the USS Arizona and the aerial museum. The audio tour at Pearl Harbor was insightful for myself not knowing as much as my partner. It was a very long day and we were very hot when we got to the USS Missouri. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. Loved the pick up and drop off at our hotel.

Passport to Pearl Harbor Ticket - Official One-Day Admission & Self-Guided Tour

Finally made it to Pearl Harbor!

Reviewed by: Coors

During my visit to Pearl Harbor National Memorial, I was struck by the powerful sense of history and reflection that filled the site. Walking through the museum exhibits, I learned about the events of December 7, 1941, and saw artifacts, photos, and personal stories that brought the day to life. Taking the boat ride out to the USS Arizona Memorial was especially moving, as I stood above the sunken battleship and honored the lives lost. The experience was both educational and emotional, offering a deep reminder of the sacrifices made and the importance of peace.

My son and I both thoroughly enjoyed the tour and found the staff and guides friendly, interesting and helpful. The only disappointment was that, at the end of the tour, we could have been given more time to tour the USS Missouri.

We are visiting from Australia and very impressed with the service and quality of this tour. Bus driver was hilarious, he had all the Dad jokes and was very informative. The Pearl Harbor Tour was both informative and respectful. Plus we received a delicious lunch. Bus was very comfortable and clean and on time. Would definitely recommend.

This ticket is for those who want to take their time and enjoy. ゆっくり観たい人向けのチケットです。

Reviewed by: masa

The official website of the USS Missouri Memorial (https://ussmissouri.org/) also sells tickets, but I couldn't purchase them with my Japanese credit card, so I bought them through VELTRA. There are so many highlights that it might be difficult to see everything in one day. I considered other sightseeing tours departing from Honolulu, but I decided to split my visit into two days to take my time.

I purchased tickets for the Captain's Tour and the Chief Engineer's Tour (in Japanese) on the day of my visit, and they showed us places that are normally off-limits, making it a very interesting tour.

After visiting the USS Missouri, watching the movies "Battleship" and "Midway" provided a different perspective.

戦艦ミズーリ記念館の公式サイト(https://ussmissouri.org/)でも販売されていますが、日本のクレジットカードでは購入できなかったため、VELTRAで購入しました。見所がたくさんあるため、1日で回りきるのは難しいかもしれません。他のホノルル発着の観光ツアーも検討しましたが、ゆっくり観られるように2日間に分けて訪れました。

戦艦ミズーリのキャプテンツアーとチーフエンジニアツアー(日本語)は当日受付で購入し参加しましたが、通常では入れない場所を見せてくれるので、大変興味深いツアーでした。

戦艦ミズーリを見学した後に、映画『バトルシップ』と『沈黙の戦艦』を観るとまた違った視点で観ることができました。

Japanese people should go. 日本人はいくべき

It was surprisingly uncrowded, with few Japanese people, giving it a foreign theme park feel. There's quite a lot to see, and if you take your time, one day won't be enough.

Our tour guide was amazing

Reviewed by: Mama

If it wasn’t for our tour guide, Dave, our adventure would have been very unsatisfactory. There was far far too much driving. The caves were inaccessible for most of us as the rocks were slippery. The stairs were steep, and there weren’t enough hiking sticks to go around. we stopped for quite a bit of time just to have lunch, which to me was very unnecessary. A snack would’ve sufficed. Then we drove, which seemed to be forever to go see the most recent lava flow… Which was quite interesting but somewhat repetitive. Again, if it wasn’t for our tour guide, Dave, his personality, information and enthusiasm It would’ve been a bust. Again far far far too much driving for what we actually could get out and enjoy and see.

Tips and suggestions

Less driving and more interactive stops.

First Hawaii tour

Reviewed by: Coconut

This was our first Hawaii visit and first tour on the island. The experience of this tour was well worth it, we had a great time and were able to take plenty of pictures. The communication was very clear on where we would be picked up, the times for each stop on the tour and information on each stop. We had plenty of time at each stop. We recommend the tour and would do it again.

It provides an opportunity to reconsider war. 戦争について改めて考えるきっかけになります

Reviewed by: いろ

It was a great experience to view the war from a perspective outside of my own country. After making a reservation, a QR code ticket was sent via email, so it was smooth to enter when I printed it out just in case.

The plan does not include admission tickets to the Arizona Memorial, so you need to book those on the website yourself. Reservations for available slots can be made at 3 PM the day before, but they were filled within five minutes. When I made a standby reservation on-site just after 8 AM on the day of my visit, I was able to participate with hardly any wait. If you’re already at Pearl Harbor, I highly recommend visiting the Arizona Memorial as well.

You can't bring most bags due to security, but you can bring items in a clear bag. I thought it might be difficult if the bag was too large, so I brought one that could fit a 500ml plastic bottle horizontally.

自国の立場以外から戦争を見る良い体験になりました。
予約後メールにてQRのついた予約票が送られてくるので念のため印刷しておくと入場時スムーズでした。

プランにはアリゾナ記念館の入場チケットはついていないため自分でサイトで取る必要があります。
前日15時に空き枠の予約ができますが5分後には埋まってしまっていました。
当日朝8時すぎに現地待機予約をしたところほとんど待たずに参加できました。
せっかく真珠湾まだ来たのであれば、ぜひアリゾナ記念館も訪れたほうがよいです。


荷物はセキリュティ上ほとんど持ち込めませんが、
透明なカバンに入れると持ち込みできます。
あまり大きいともしかしたら難しいかもと思い、500mlのペットボトルが横に入るくらいのもので持ち込みました。

The boats didn't go out due to the typhoon... 台風でボートが出なかった...

Reviewed by: yuki

Since I am an owner of a timeshare in Ko Olina, I went there by rental car without a shuttle service. The roads were easy to navigate, and it was very close to Ko Olina, making it quite accessible.

With a passport, I was able to explore at my own pace without any time restrictions. I was able to enter all the museums, which was great.

However, due to a typhoon, the winds were strong, and the boats couldn't go out, so I couldn't visit the Arizona Memorial. That was disappointing. All the other museums were wonderful. There were Japanese audio guides available, or free guides who were Japanese, so I was able to understand the content well.

There are regulations on what you can bring, but if you have a transparent bag or a vinyl tote, you can bring those in as is. It's recommended when your pockets can't hold everything.

I highly encourage everyone to visit. It was a truly valuable experience with a lot to see, and I'm really glad I went.

コオリナのタイムシェアのオーナーなので、送迎なしでレンタカーで行きました。道もわかりやすく、コオリナから近かったので、とても行きやすかったです。  

パスポートなので、時間の制限なく自分のペースで回ることができました。全ての博物館に入館できて、とてもよかったです。

ただ、台風で風が強く、ボートが出られず、アリゾナ記念館にいけませんでした。悲しい。
その他の博物館はどれも素晴らしかったです。日本語オーディオガイドつき、もしくは日本人の無料のガイドの方の案内があったので、しっかり内容も理解できました。

持ち物の規制がありますが、透明なバッグや、ビニール手提げを持っていけば、そのまま持ち込めました。ポケットに入りきらないときは、おすすめです。

皆様もぜひ行ってみてください。大変貴重な体験と内容盛りだくさんで、本当に行ってよかったです。
