All Reviews for Arizona Memorial & Missouri Tours

An easy way to get to + from, taking the brain work out which we loved while being on vacation!

I have been to Hawaii several times, but I had a feeling that the impression of Japanese people might not be good, so I somewhat avoided it. However, after actually going, I found that this was completely untrue. I enjoyed it just as much as any other activity.

This time, due to time constraints, I only visited the USS Missouri, but I would like to consider visiting other facilities next time. However, please note that tickets for the Arizona Memorial are on a waitlist online for same-day entry, so you cannot wait in line without a mobile phone.

The USS Missouri itself is full of highlights, and even rushing through, it took quite a bit of time. I was able to understand well what it was like when this ship was in active service.

何度かハワイには来ていますが、日本人に対する印象が良くないかもと思い、何となく敬遠していました。実際に行ってみて全くそんなことはありませんでした。他のアクティビティと何ら変わることなく楽しめました。
　今回時間の制約があったので戦艦ミズーリのみの見学でしたが、次回は別の施設の訪問も検討したいです。ただし、アリゾナ記念館は当日の入場券はネットでの順番待ちなので携帯がないと順番待ちも出来ません。
　実際のミズーリ号は見どころ満載で、駆け足で見て回っても結構時間がかかりました。この艦が現役だった頃の様子が良く分かりました。

BK was our tour guide and driver. I know now why he was Driver of the Year in 2023. Very knowledgeable on every facet of the tour. It was our first trip to Honolulu and he provided an excellent dialogue on everywhere we visited. (and even some we didn’t!) The bus was exceptionally clean and comfortable and our scheduled pickup was exactly on time at both ends of the tour.

We loved the ease oahu brought with tours like these where everything is covered for you!

Great tour of the Pearl Harbor grounds and the beautiful history throughout the city area! we appreciate that it is all made easy on a tour

Pearl Harbor and USS Missouri were a bucket list trip.
Great historical information

This is my first visit since elementary school. After learning about the nostalgia and history, the tour is a completely different experience. You can also visit the surrender deck, and although the signing documents are replicas, you can see them. This is the only place where you can meet heroes who participated in the Gulf War. Don't worry about your wife or girlfriend's expressions; just keep moving forward. Make sure to make a reservation.

小学生以来の訪問。懐かしさと歴史を一通り学んだ後の、見学では一味も二味も違う。
サレンダーデッキも見学でき、調印文章も複製ではあるが、みることができる。湾岸戦争まで参加している英雄に会うことができるのはここしかない。奥さんや彼女の顔色を伺ってはいけない、ひたすら前進あるのみ。予約するべし

A Japanese person named Momo guided us through the battleship Missouri. She was very kind and attentive. I was able to deeply feel the history, and it was a great experience.

戦艦ミズーリの中を、日本人のモモさんという方が案内してくれました。とても親切で丁寧でした。
歴史をじっくり感じられ、良い体験をしました。

Good history lesson. Touching. Lots to do and see. Want to go back and see th e air museum

easy way to get to / from pearl harbor, and they get your arizona ticket set for you! loved the ease of this

Tour was really more on bus as the park your on your own, but still easy to get to with the tour!

Arizona memorial was noteworthy of the history PH holds

We are so glad the we were able to visit.
We learned so much about Pearl Harbor!

The Captain, Holly and Alex were great! I would highly recommend this Snorkeling Trip.

I wish they would give you a ruff idea on wait times. We spent most of the day to board the boat. And than had to rush through the Missouri. With the cost of the excursion we would have loved to not be rushed.

We were unable to hear the guide information and feel she was inexperienced keeping the group together. There was another group close by and listened to his knowledge.

Had a great day out. Enjoyed the history.
Bus driver was really i formative.

I visited during the first half of my trip. Since it was about war, it wasn't exactly fun, but I reaffirmed the importance of being present in that space to learn and feel. Hawaii is like a paradise, but I also felt it is a place where, as a Japanese person, I need to confront history. Alex, a Japanese guide, taught us various things. There were other Japanese people as well, so I think they adjust their responses depending on the situation. Everyone was kind and approached us warmly.

I also learned about the local people's and Americans' perspectives on Japan, as well as information about the USS Arizona.

The most challenging part was figuring out how to get there, so I’ll note that down. We took the bus from Waikiki to Pearl Harbor, which took just over an hour. Ideally, a taxi would be quicker, but this way, we could enjoy the local atmosphere at a leisurely pace. Once we arrived at Pearl Harbor by bus, we headed straight towards the sea. After checking our bags, we were allowed in. I brought a small pouch, but it wasn't allowed. Only items smaller than the wallet at the entrance can be brought in. There is no cost here.

After passing through the gate and heading right, a shuttle bus was waiting. It stops at the USS Missouri and the aircraft viewing area in order, taking about 10 minutes. We got off at the Missouri. We walked towards the battleship. At the lower entrance, we showed our printed voucher barcode to get in. Once on the deck of the battleship, they asked for our tour guide preferences, and when I requested Japanese, Alex came out to assist us. At that time, there were three groups, including us, totaling five people together.

He explained for a while, and then we explored the battleship on our own. This took about two hours in total. It was great that the bus fare was only three dollars, but the round trip took too long, so we took an Uber back.

I actually wanted to spend more time there, but we ran out of time before closing. I hope to visit the Arizona Memorial and the aircraft viewing area next time.

旅の前半に行きました。戦争のことなので楽しい、というのとはまた違いますが、その場に身を置いて学び感じることの大切さを再認識しました。ハワイは楽園のような場所ですが、日本人として歴史と向き合う必要がある場所であるとも思いました。日本のガイドのアレックスさんが、色々教えてくれます。他の日本の方もいらしたので、その時によって対応してくださるのだと思います。どの方も親切に声をかけてくださいます。
現地民やアメリカ人の日本への所感やアリゾナ戦艦のことなども教えていただきました。

一番難しかったのは行き方についてだったので書いておきます。
当方は、ザバスでワイキキからパールハーバーへ行きました。一時間ちょっとかかりました。
本当は時短にはタクシーが良いのですが、これはこれで現地の雰囲気をゆっくり味わえてよかったです。
ザバスでパールハーバーについたらまっすぐ海の方へすすみます。荷物を預けたら、通してくれます。小さいポーチを持って行きましたが、ダメでした。入り口にあるお財布と比べて小さいものしか持ち込めません。
ここではお金はかかりません。
門を通過して右へ進むとシャトルバスが待機していました。
そこから10分くらい、まずミズーリ戦艦そして航空機見学できる場所に順に停まります。私たちはミズーリの方でおりました。
戦艦目指して歩きます。
下の入り口で印刷したバウチャーバーコードを提示すると入れてくれます。
戦艦のデッキに上がるとツアーガイドの希望を聞いてくれて、日本語をお願いするとアレックスさんが出てきてくれました。この時間帯は私たちいれて3組、5名が一緒でした。
しばらく説明をしてくださり、戦艦内は自分たちで見学するスタイルです。これ全部で二時間くらいはかかってしましました。
ザバスは、三ドルで行けたのも良かったですが流石に往復バスは時間が勿体無いので、かえりはウーバーで帰りました。

本当は時間をもっととりたかったのですが、閉館時間になってしまい叶わず。また次回アリゾナ記念館や航空機見学にも行きたいです。

I made a reservation around 8 o'clock, but I think as long as you have your tickets, it shouldn't be a problem if you don't worry too much about the time. Since there is traffic from Waikiki in the morning, I recommend taking it easy.

８時ぐらいからの予約で行きましたがチケットさえ買ってあればそんなに時間気にせず行っても問題無さそうだと思います
朝はワイキキから渋滞するのでのんびり行く事をオススメします

He was so kind and made everyone feel at home!!! Sweet guy for sure. He taught us a lot about Pearl Harbor and those who fought for our country!!!

Bus was half hour late. Received email half hour before our pick up time moving our pick up to a different location which created confusion for about 11 of us waiting to be picked up at original pick up site- our hotel! Very frustrating with no apologies. Very poor.

Outstanding a great reminder why peace is the ultimate goal in life

Early morning tour but you get back with the day still to explore more, great way to see PH!

Getting to see the Missouri was our favorite part of this tour. Unreal!

The guide is moreso on the bus portions, but overall a great day at PH!

I learned a lot from actual episodes from World War II. I was particularly moved by the water burial of Japanese soldiers who died during the kamikaze missions by the United States Navy.

第二次世界大戦での実際にあったエピソードなど、勉強になりました。
特にアメリカ海軍による特攻で亡くなった日本兵の水葬などは感銘を受けました。

we just wanted a light tour and this was perfect! we loved the ride

Lots of memories to take in throughout each museum and experience- we loved the Arizon museum- well done

It is possible to make reservations directly through the official website, but I was unable to make a payment with a Japanese credit card that does not have a Zipcode, so I purchased the tickets through VELTRA. (The price was the same as on the official site.)

There is a Japanese guide on site who explains the history and overview of the battleship.

I reserved this and the USS Arizona for a visit, but I also wanted to check out the aviation museum. I recommend taking your time to explore Pearl Harbor.

公式サイトで直接予約も可能な施設ですが、Zipcodeのない日本のクレジットカードでの決済ができなかったので、VELTRAを通じてチケット購入しました。（値段は公式サイトと同じでした）

日本語ガイドさんが常駐しており戦艦の歴史と概要について説明してくれます。

こちらとUSアリゾナを予約して見学しましたが、航空博物館も見て回りたかったです。
パールハーバーはゆっくり時間をかけて見学されることをおすすめします。

Pick up was easy, and drop off as well- we really liked this way to get to PH!
