Arizona Memorial, Pearl Harbor and Punchbowl Sightseeing Tour

Oahu, United States of America

Visit Pearl Harbor and re-live the moment in history that propelled America into World War II at the USS Arizona Memorial without waiting in any lines! You'll skip the line at Pearl Harbor and visit the Punchbowl National Memorial Cemetery and do a Honolulu city tour, all before returning to your Waikiki hotel.

Skip all the long lines on this Pearl Harbor half-day tour! The USS Arizona Memorial is the final resting place of the 1,777 crew members who lost their lives on December 7, 1941, during the attack on Pearl Harbor. The national memorial commemorating the attack which thrust the United States into World War II spans the mid-portion of the sunken battleship.

Pearl Harbor tickets take you to the Visitor Center to see artifacts from the attack, plus film and footage of the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack, before boarding the Navy launch to cross Pearl Harbor to the Arizona Memorial.

During your Pearl Harbor tour you'll also see Iolani Palace, the only royal palace on American soil and downtown Honolulu, as well as driving through Punchbowl National Cemetery of the Pacific.

Please note:
You can receive 1 free child ticket for each adult ticket purchased. Simply select the total amount of adults and children. If there are more participating children than adults, the remaining child ticket(s) must be purchased on the day of the tour.

This was a very informative tour. The Guide (Aunty Em) was very knowledgeable about Honolulu, the history of the Islands and particularly the wartime events at Pearl Harbour. She was very friendly, her instructions were clear and she was always happy to take and answer questions. She had personal experience (which was particularly poignant when we visited Pearl Harbour and the Arizona Memorial site, when she relayed to us her own father's experiences here on 7th Dec 1941 and since. Excellent company - I recommend them.

The narrator on this trip was not understandable and talked INCESSANTLY, holding us on the bus in a parking lot to finish his story. There is a line between being informative and being obnoxious and he was WAY on the other side of the line. It was so bad we left the tour early and took a city cab back to our hotel rather than complete the loop. Also, pick up had us driving ALL over Waikiki picking people up. Way too many stops in the morning. Would not recommend this one.

Outstanding. The guide was so informative and easy going. We did not get to go on the Arizona because of the rough waters, but we were offered a next day opportunity if we wanted to go at 7 AM...sadly, we were not able to but appreciated the offer.

Pearl Harbor part was great. In regards to Punchbowl and city sights, all from the bus!! No getting off and taking pics. Very disappointing.

Very nice tour guide, Oran!

Review by: Terry H	March 2012
Learnt a lot we did not know. Interesting and informative.It was a very incredible feeling to stand over the USS Arizona. Also, the bus driver of this tour was very friendly, kind and funny. We greatly enjoyed the whole experience.

Did not feel we got value for our $$. Don't know if there is normally a stop at the Punchbowl - but it was raining - so we just drove through. We saw the same things on the Waikiki Trolley that we saw on the drive through downtown Honolulu and we probably could have got ourselves to Pearl Harbour and seen it on our own.

Review by: Sheila	March 2012
Really interesting tour with lots of information.

Review by: Irene P	March 2012
Highly recommended for any first time visitor to Oahu. Don't leave without doing this tour.

Review by: Beverly	February 2012
Pick-up was a little late. The tour guide was informative and gave good narration of the places we went. The disappointing thing was, the wind was too strong at the Pearl Harbor that the navy canceled the shuttle to visit the Arizona Memorial. Polynesian Adventure Tours was good enough to give an option to come back again the next day FOC - transport provided. Everything else was great!

We were very late being picked up. The actual tour was good. It would have been better if you had provided printed material for the hearing impaired.

Great and entertaining information from guide.

great

Review by: Arie K	January 2012
Very Informative, very convenient - the right way to do it for the right price. No need to worry about transportation, or lines. Would have give it a 5 stars wished there was a stop at the Punchbowl Crater rather than just drive through.

Review by: Robert J	January 2012
Overall a good experience. It seemed the guide was coached to talk non stop and an occasional break from talking would be desireable so we could digest the scenery.

Review by: Charles M	January 2012
Powerful and moving - those are the only words I can use to describe the moment we stood in the Arizona Memorial looking down into the water at the remains of the USS Arizona. The entire trip and presentation were very powerful and the bonus was meeting four wonderful men who survived the attack on Pearl Harbor that day in 1941. Wow!!

Review by: anette	January 2012
Bus arrived on time at the hilton bus depot. It was raining that day so I was not able to get good pictures from the bus while we were touring. Our driver/guide didn't drop us at the drop off area at the pearl harbor unlike other tour bus. It was raining that time and the bus just went straight to the parking area. It was a long walk all the way to the entrance and we ran. Unfortunately, it was so windy and boat ride to the arizona memorial was cancelled for that afternoon. Had a few minutes stop at the city point of interests and got the chance to take some pictures before it rained again.

Well organised enjoyable trip

Review by: Geoff. Appleyard	December 2011
This was my first of 2 tours I did with Viator and it was extremely well organised, very historical and the sights were teriffic. Loving history and seeing these places was an amazing experience and Ty, our guide, was excellent. I'd reccomend it to anyone especially having Punchbowl Cemetry and a Honululu tour added as well.

No need to say anything,The Tour guide was very informative, had a great sense of humor, and a good driver.

Review by: Charles V	November 2011
The Arizona Memorial and Pearl Harbor are a must see for any visitor to Honolulu. We had a comfortable smooth riding Coach, a personable driver with lots of interesting facts, and no waiting in line for tickets. This was about as close to perfect as a tour could be and the price was reasonable, I recommend it.to anyone who wants an effortless premium way to experience this solemn part of American History.. . .

Review by: tweety22	November 2011
Again we were visiting during APEC and traffic caused the tour to be an hour late...we were on a huge bus, would prefer the small shuttle vans for a better experience. The water shuttle out to the memorial and your time there seemed rushed but was an experience you will not forget...our guide Leo was good, he was a wealth of information...we lost 2 people at the memorial, who we guess decided to stay longer or had other plans and while we all sat on the bus for 30 minutes not knowing what was going on...needless to say the tour ran way long and with no food or water it was a little trying toward the end. Would suggest the smaller vehicles like the North Shore tour...less likely to lose 30 minutes when you have over 70 people to keep track of.

Review by: gingerlee	November 2011
I was hoping to be able to get out of the bus to take photos at the Punchbowl. I would have preferred a combination of the Arizona Memorial and the USS Missouri, but it was not offered.

Review by: William P	November 2011
Very moving tour._br/_ Could not speak highly enough of tour group, picked up on time and great guide.

Review by: Terry E	November 2011
This is a tour well worth attending.

Very sad wish the tour was at least an hour longer.Went to fast.

Review by: Chloejay	October 2011
I am not from America so didn't know a lot about American history and America's involvement in the second world war, but thought it was important to pay a visit to Pearl Harbor seeing as we were visiting Oahu. The tour was fantastic, and well worth the money. We went to Pearl Harbor in the morning and had time to explore before the visit to the Theatre which outlined the events before during and after Pearl Harbor. The short film was very moving and very tastefully done. We then got a shuttle boat over to the USS Arizona Memorial and had about half an hour to take photographs, read the information and pay our respects. It was a very beautiful and peaceful place. There was a lot more to see at Pearl Harbor than I had expected, you could easily fill two whole days there exploring the museums and memorials, battleship and submarine. After our Pearl Harbor tour we had an included tour of Honolulu. We saw parts of the Ko'olau Mountains, Iolani Palace - where the new series of Hawaii 5-0 headquarters is filmed, King Kamehameha Statue outside Ali'iolani Hale, Mission Houses Museum, The Eternal Flame Memorial built in memory of the victims of 9/11, The Honolulu State Capital Building and Punchbowl Cemetary. Overall you get to see an awful lot for the price you pay. Very impressed, the tour guide was amazing - knowledgeable and friendly.

Worth a visit

Review by: Doreen T	September 2011
Tour guide gave our excursion a personal touch and made it very informative. Transportation pick up was a plus! Could have used a few more minutes at the Arizona Memorial to look around.

Review by: Nelle	September 2011
Fantastic tour guide. 'Nappy' provided informative commentary, provided lots of personal stories and lots of laughs. Pearl Harbour is a must see!

Review by: Lori M	September 2011
My boyfrriend and I learned a lot. There was a very informative videoo we were able to watch. Greatt place to visit.

Review by: Darren G	September 2011
Cheap enough, accomplished what we wanted. (Avoid ticket lines) Just don't be booked at a hotel outside the ones they visit.

Review by: Meghan M	September 2011
Our trip was great and so was our guide! We just wish we had more time at Pearl Harbor and didn't realize we couldn't get out to look around at Punchbowl. He took us on a tour of the Honolulu which was nice but we wish we could have spent that time at Pearl Harbor.

Review by: Joanne M	September 2011
Well worth doing - you have to do Pearl Harbor, it would be disrespectful not to! This tour was great for the time poor. Saw the highlights and back at the hotel with most of the afternoon to spare. Our driver was terrific - entertaining and knowledgeable. The coach - clean and very comfortable.

Review by: Andrea W	September 2011
This is the way to see the Arizona Memorial!!! Our tour guide was super funny and very helpful. We could of used a few more minutes before or after our launch time....but we were well informed what to do and where to go by our guide. So worth the money!!!!

Review by: Brian W	September 2011
Our visit to the Arizona Memorial,Pearl Harbour and Punchbowl was a very memorable one. Our Tour Guide was wonderful, her commentary began as we the boarded the coach and continued until the Tour ended. She was a wealth of information and she led us through the Tour with Local Knowledge at every stage. This Tour is certainly value for money and we were very pleased with it......Brian and Janet...Australia

We enjoyed the tour. The guide was very informative and very friendly.

Review by: Julie S	July 2011
We liked this tour. There was a bit too much shuffling us around onto different buses in the beginning. I would have liked more time at Pearl Harbor because we only had about 25-30 minutes total to look in the museums. We enjoyed the sightseeing and Arizona Memorial.

Review by: Cheryl M	July 2011
Wonderful experience!

Review by: Joey R	July 2011
This was very easy to use. They picked us up at the hotel right on time. The tour around town was great. We learned about the area. Our driver, Shannon, was so funny and so informative. I have used Viator before and I am very impressed with the process and the prices. Thank you for being readily avaialable for my trips.

Review by: Anonymous, Australia	June 2010
Fantastic, very informative, learnt even more than our first time there. Still puts a knot in your throat, still very emotional. You walk away shaking your head. Will be even better when the renovations are over. The drilling noise was annoying but the tour should not be missed.

Very informative guide. However pickup at my hotel was NOT complimentary as stated on the voucher as I paid extra for pickup. Your vocher needs to clarify that.
