Pearl Harbor World War II History Tour

Pearl Harbor World War II History Tour

This 5-hour custom, private tour picks up from any location you prefer on Oahu. You will proceed to Pearl Harbor, with tickets booked for you in advance, no waiting in line necessary. The tour also then usually continues to the Punchbowl Cemetery and Pu'u Ualaka'a State Park (Tantalus Lookout), but you will have the option of instead visiting one of the other sites at Pearl Harbor. Throughout the tour, you will be accompanied by an expert guide able to answer any questions about the technical, historical, and personal impacts of the Attack on Pearl Harbor, the events leading up to it, and the effects that rippled through history up to the present day.

On December 7, 1941, the world changed forever. The events of that day continue to reverberate all the way down to the present. Come see history come to life on a living battlefield.

From the pickup at your hotel, cruise ship, or other location, we'll proceed to the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument at Pearl Harbor. I'll accompany you inside and give you an introduction to the site. U. S. National Park service regulations don't allow me to conduct a full tour inside, but the site is compact and easy to navigate. After you tour the museum and take the ferry to the USS Arizona memorial, you will have the option of visiting other on-shore memorials, and the USS Bowfin, a WWII submarine.

After your Pearl Harbor visit, we will travel to the Punchbowl National cemetery and visit Pu'u Ualaka'a State Park, from which we will have a panoramic view of the entire city, including Pearl Harbor. Throughout the entire tour I will share my knowledge of WWII history including several eye-witness reports shared with me local
