We throughly enjoyed ourselves and totally recommend the tour. After the visit to Pearl Harbour we got to see the war graves and given so very good information along the way.

6.Tribute to Pearl Harbor Arizona Memorial and Honolulu City Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 733 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $45

“The Pearl Harbor tour was probably a third of the price of what the cruise ship was charging. It included the Arizona which the cruise excursions did not, unless you wanted to be on standby. we had a timed ticket for the ferry out to the USS Arizona so we were able to watch the movie and know we had a guaranteed time for the ferry boat. There was also time to see the other displays at the visitor center. The only comment on the negative side is it’s probably an hour too long there? But overall, a great tour, a great price, and our guide, Vanessa, was very personable…”

“Well, what few attractions we were able to get into were great. If you reserve now for a trip 6 months from now then you will be good. Yes this could save you money but it really wasn’t worth it for a first time visitor with zero experience of what to expect. But now that I know perhaps a future trip with a detailed list & 6 months advanced planning, I’d buy this then only.”

The route includes Iolani Palace, Kawaiahao Church, Punchbowl Cemetery, Aliiolani Hale, and the King Kamehameha Statue. Memorial boat access can depend on National Park Service availability.

“This trip is falsely advertised. You might think from the description and title that it would include entrance to the USS Arizona…but it doesn’t! All you get for the money is shuttle to the Pearl Harbor site — but it doesn’t include your tickets for the Arizona. Instead, they tell you to sign up for standby and wait to see if you get on. After there’s a quick city tour but you don’t see much This company is so badly organized on top of it: the tour we booked said it started at 9AM but at 11PM the night before we received a message that we had to be at…”
