About this experience

Around 8am on December 7th, 1941, Japanese warplanes attacked Pearl Harbor and the Island of Oahu. The surprise attack killed 2,403 and marked the United States entrance into World War II. As Hawaii’s #1 visitor attraction, Pearl Harbor serves as a piece of living history to be appreciated by people from all over the world.

We will host you for a seamless & sentimental Pearl Harbor Experience. You will see the Visitor Center, Exclusive Documentary, Two different WWII museums, and have access to the Bowfin Submarine & Museum.

After Pearl Harbor, you will venture to the Punchbowl Cemetery, visit the statue of King Kamehameha, and tour around Honolulu City before returning to Waikiki.

NOTE: The chance to experience a boat ride to the Arizona Memorial is currently disrupted due to ongoing maintenance to fix the moorings that anchor it to the bottom of the Harbor. (Estimated Down Time 9/3/25 - 10/15/25)

During this time, we encourage you to visit the Bowfin Submarine Experience.
