Pearl Harbor is a lagoon harbor west of Honolulu on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, Most
of the harbor and surrounding lands is a United States Navy deep-water naval base.
It is also the headquarters of the United States Pacific Fleet. The U.S. government
first obtained exclusive use of the inlet and the right to maintain a repair and coaling
station for ships here in 1887. The attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan on December 7,
1941 was the cause of the United States' entry into World War II.

Pearl Harbor is Hawaii’s number one visitor destination with over 1.8
million visitors a year. At the focal point is the Pearl Harbor Visitor
Center which provides access to the USS Arizona Memorial, (“Mighty
Mo“) Battleship Missouri, Bowfin Submarine & the Pearl Harbor
a fast-track ticket to view a 23-minute documentary film about the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that brought the United States into
World War II. Afterward, we board a 145 passenger U.S.
Navy-operated boat for a solemn visit to the Memorial. You can also
choose to start your tour of Pearl Harbor from any of the neighbor
islands too!
A combination of Hawaii’s #1 visitor attraction Pearl Harbor USS
Arizona Memorial & USS Missouri at Ford Island combined with a
100-mile Oahu sightseeing tour.
A Private 8 to 9 hour tour for your group only. The Private Pearl
Harbor tour includes the Museum and Exhibits at the Pearl Harbor
Visitor Center, admission to the USS Arizona Memorial Program
which includes a 23-minute documentary film followed by a
round-trip boat ride to the USS Arizona Memorial, and the National
Parks Audio tour. The USS Arizona Memorial straddles the hull of the
sunken battleship without touching it. As it lays in its final resting
place on the bottom of the harbor, notice the drops of black oil
referred to as black tears that still seeps from the sunken ship. Your
tour of Pearl Harbor will be the highlights of your visit to Hawaii.
