World War II Start to End

En route to the Pearl Harbor Naval Base, an expert guide will recount the fatal attack that took the lives of 2,390 people, destroyed much of America’s Pacific Fleet, and brought about U.S. involvement in WWII.

Watch authentic footage of the actual attack before you board the Naval Shuttle Boat to the Arizona Memorial - a floating memorial built over the sunken battleship USS Arizona, and the final resting place of many who lost their lives there. Once at the memorial, visit the Shrine Room, where you can pay your respects to those who died on that horrible day and ponder the devastating effects of war.

From there you can view the fascinating exhibits in the Arizona Memorial WWII Museum, and browse the gift shop and its variety of WWII books, memorabilia and souvenirs. Then visit battleship row, the USS Bowfin (a WWII submarine), the US Pacific Fleet headquarters, and the "black tears of the Arizona" to get a better picture of the events of that day.

Make your way to the USS Missouri Battleship, and see the dent caused by a kamikaze plane as it nearly destroyed this famous warship. Learn the real story behind the "Mighty MO" and stand on the deck where the peace treaty that finally ended WWII was signed.

Finally, tour “Historic Honolulu,” which includes other attractions that let you experience Hawaii's history first-hand, such as the Punchbowl National Cemetery of the Pacific, Iolani Palace, the King Kamehameha statue, the Civic Center, and the homes of our nation's President, Barrack Obama!

This comprehensive tour is a great opportunity to explore Hawaii's monumental role in WWII, and the fascinating history that has made Hawaii what it is today.
