- Will display dates available for program
Sightseeing in Hawaii isn’t complete without a visit to the USS Arizona-- the vessel whose bombing propelled the US into WWII, and the Battleship Missouri-- on whose decks the Japanese formally surrendered. The Pearl Harbor Remembered Tour is led by an E Noa guide whose knowledge of and appreciation for these historic sites makes this memorial tour an experience to remember. Let us handle all the details: including transportation, entrance fees and tickets. Simply relax and come along for the ride.
Your tour begins in the early morning, as you head towards Honolulu’s infamous Pearl Harbor. Your E Noa guide recounts significant island history of the scene set before you.
Exhibits and artifacts at the WWII Valor in the Pacific National Monument take you on a journey down the road to war, vividly depicting the events of December 1941. Head by boat to the USS Arizona Memorial, where visitors from around the world pause to reflect and look down on the ruins of the sunken WWII battleship. Aboard the nearby Battleship Missouri, learn about “Mighty Mo’s” wartime history and see a
signed copy of the surrender document that ended the war. Don’t miss the USS Oklahoma Memorial, a monument to those who lost their lives in the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Your E Noa guide will take you through downtown Honolulu, highlighting the historic buildings that were a part of Hawaii’s history as a monarchy, a territory, and as the 50th state in the US.
A drive through Punchbowl Crater, home of the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, completes this tour. Here, 38,000 markers pay tribute to the men and women of the US Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
