This is a self-directed experience where you are driven to and from Pearl Harbour, handed your admission tickets and given brief instructions that were a bit vague for people who are visiting an unfamiliar place.
Having said that, our driver, Lena, relayed interesting information during our drive and city tour, and offered an early return to town if desired which we greatly appreciated after 7 hours of the intense heat of the day.
We were unable to visit the Arizona Memorial due to repairs and renovations being conducted, but we were treated to the sailing equivalent of a drive by of the memorial and the USS Missouri, as a Park Ranger shared facts about the memorial.
The shuttle drivers going to and from Ford Island were also exceptionally interesting. We really enjoyed their commentary.
The standby kiosk, where you booked your ride to the USS Arizona, was easy to navigate though staff were available to answer questions.
If you'd prefer a more hands on experience perhaps book a tour that includes a personal tour guide but we managed just fine on our own.
I recommend this tour to people who like to be independent and go at their own pace.
