About this experience
Are you someone who does not like wasting precious vacation time and does not want to deal with sitting on a tour bus with 30-60 other people? Then our private Tour of Pearl Harbor, Arizona Memorial, Bowfin Submarine, and a short Honolulu city tour is just the tour you need. Instead of extensive group tours with a bus with around 50-60 people, why not ride to Pearl Harbor in a comfortable, private minivan that will take you directly to Pearl Harbor? Our professional chauffeur speaks fluent English and will take you to Pearl Harbor National Memorial.
Once you have arrived at the Pearl Harbor Visitor’s Center, our chauffeur will take and give you an orientation and provide you with the tickets for your tour.
With this tour, there is no need to get up before sunrise to stand in line with thousands of other people to see if you can get an Arizona Memorial ticket. We have reserved a ticket for the USS Arizona Memorial, which we have included for you on this tour.
