PRIVATE: PEARL HARBOR HALF DAY TOUR
ShoreTrips says...
You will be picked up from the cruise ship pier or your hotel and escorted to the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, all in the comfort of your private vehicle.
Travel to Pearl Harbor and the Arizona Memorial, where you will spend the morning reliving the important historic moments that took place at this fascinating site. En route, your guide will provide historical commentary before escorting you to the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center.
At the Visitor Center, you'll view a moving film depicting the events of the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack. Afterward, you'll board a Navy launch for the short ride to the Arizona Memorial. Reserved tickets allow you to make the most of your time here. Spend some time exploring this somber site, the resting place of 1,102 of the nearly 1,200 sailors killed on the USS Arizona during the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. Dedicated in 1962, the Memorial consists of three main parts and spans the sunken hull of the battleship. After your boat ride, your guide will meet up with you and guide you through the exhibits. Plan on spending approximately 2 hours here.
You'll have your choice of visiting either the USS Bowfin submarine or the USS Missouri battleship. Just let your guide know your preference.
The USS Bowfin submarine, nicknamed the "Pearl Harbor Avenger", is a self-guided audio tour (tickets $15 each). Plan to spend about 45-60 minutes here.
If you choose the USS Missouri, your guide will accompany you on the shuttle bus to Ford Island, where the ship is located. The USS Missouri offers a docent-guided tour ($30 per person) along with a self-guided tour below and the upper decks, although your guide will be happy to present information if you wish. Plan to spend about 1.5 - 2 hours here.
If time permits, you will visit the Punchbowl Cemetery or be given an exterior tour of Iolani Palace or the King Kamehameha statue.
