Description

from Stars & Stripes Tour: Pearl Harbor and Battleship Missouri
This tour is moving in more ways than one. Explore and honor three historic sites that shaped the outcome of World War II. From the moment you board the tour bus, you’ll hear interesting facts about WWII and its devastating effects.

You will visit the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center where the United States was catapulted into World War II and its fight in the Pacific began. Next, enjoy a tour of the Battleship Missouri. Knowledgeable guides provide colorful stories about the ship’s history and life at sea during a 35-minute guided tour. Later, honor the freedoms bestowed upon us by all those who bravely served the country since WWI at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl.

Before heading back into Waikiki, you’ll drive through historic Honolulu to see Hawaii State Capitol and Honolulu City Hall, Iolani Palace and King Kamehameha Statue, and Kawaiahao Church.

NOTE:
Pearl Harbor is an active military base, therefore a "no bag" policy exists on location, prohibiting purses, handbags, fanny packs, backpacks, camera bags, diaper bags, luggage and/or other items that offer concealment.

How should I dress during the tour?

Casual, comfortable attire is appropriate. There will be moderate walking, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes. You may want to put on your sunscreen and bring a hat for the sun, and a light jacket in case of rain. Because Pearl Harbor is a somber, solemn place dedicated to the memory of the service members and civilians who lost their lives, the memorial team asks that guests dress respectfully, no bathing suits or profane t-shirts.

Are there restrooms?

You’ll find bathrooms at the Visitor Center, but none on the USS Arizona Memorial portion of the tour, which lasts one hour and 15 minutes. We suggest you take a quick bathroom break before you embark on that portion of the tour.
