Pearl Harbor tour

DENNIS_A, Dec 2025
Information was super Number system was great Our family would take your again Gift shop for excellent

It is heart wrenching....

Cynthia_H, Nov 2025
It is heart wrenching. The thought that many people lost their lives unnecessarily because one person trivialized a warning ," Don't worry about it, it's just a drill." To have all the equipment and tech of the time, but still not be able to save the service people trapped in the ships is awful and heartbreaking. Much respect for all whom serve and protect our country.

Worst Experience

Enrique_P, Nov 2025
Definitely not what I was expecting. Ruined the day and definitely won’t be booking through this company

Amazing experience!

John_B, Dec 2024
Make sure you research all activities before hand. It was a great experience and we all enjoyed the experience.

Very heart wrenching.

Joan_K, Oct 2024
The boat ride and seeing the remains of the USS Arizona . Also, the audio tour was very informative.

Informative in a respectful manner

Michael_R, May 2024
The audio presentation and the virtual reality were excellent. Very solemn experience. Would recommend to anyone.

Arizona Memorial Sux

Mike_T, Feb 2024
No parking. Did not see the memorial. Total waste of time and money. Way over crowded. Very boring displays. Need to update all displays.

Disappointed

Michelle_P, Jan 2024
I paid 115 for things that were free at the experience. Very disappointed. Will not book with viator again

Lovely memorial to visit

Suzanne_A, Jan 2024
Memorial was very nice and provided lots of history. Everyone should see this memorial. Great for all ages.

To be there and to see...

merav_m, Sep 2023
To be there and to see and hear all the stories about the battle . It was very interesting and powerful

Pearl Harbor free trip that you’re charged her via this company. Sketchy.

Jeanni_M, Sep 2023
Paid for something that is free. Would never recommend it. Sketchy would not recommend. Done if this company doesn’t like what you say, they ask you to keep riding more about your review not gonna change my mind sketchy

A well orchestrated tour that encapsulated the meaningful and tragic events that occurred at Pear Harbor.

davina_f, Sep 2023
A memorial well done amd emotional for sure. We used the narrated tour by headphone. It was well worth it and made the tour more understandable and meaningful. The full tour lasted about 2 hours depending on the number of stops/pauses. Everything was easy with Viator from booking the tour, to entry and obtaining the headphones right to the end. I highly recommend using Viator and selecting this narrated tour.

Learning so much history...

Noel_R, Aug 2023
Learning so much history and having the opportunity to honor those who sacrificed their lives for this great country. Thanks for the wonderful experience.

Emotional

Therese_B, Aug 2023
This is very informative while being emotional. I would recommend that you go. Your heart bleeds for the men and women that lost they're life, as well as the family. My family is military and I have a lot of respect for people that give/gave their lives for us.

Disappointment

Maria_M, Aug 2023
The website for the National Park is a mess. We were unable to get the correct information on the website or in person. We waited in line for the boat ride to the memorial only to be told that our boat ride was cancelled due to bad weather. The guide said that our tickets were good for 7 days. We don't have 7 days in Honolulu. The process needs to be streamlined for tourists.

Bucket list item checked!! What a great experience

Tristenplayz_2, Aug 2023
Very emotional on-site at the USS Arizona. The narrated tour is a must to fully enjoy and appreciate the experience.

Great experience

Cindy_A, Jul 2023
It’s a great experience. We loved that our kids enjoyed it and learned more about our history. We did the audio tour and that was good for our group as you’re able to listen to the stories.

Educational and Riveting!!!!

Nicole_L, Jul 2023
Heart wrenching! I felt proud, angry and in disbelief as i moved through the museums, exhibits and memorial. Learning new information about the events that happened that day was great. Viewing the memorabilia was amazing. The VR experience was cool.

Not being able to get boat tickets with the purchase of venue tour tickets is a MAJOR frustration.

ALAN_N, Jun 2023
A very moving experience. No words to express appreciation for what these Sailors and Marines experienced.

Educational experience

Kaanela_H, Jun 2023
Wonderful experience. Educational and informative, a great way to learn about Pearl Harbor. Interactive experience great for kids

The submarine was...

Kelley_E, May 2023
The submarine was fascinating and the uss Arizona memorial was powerful. Next visit we will check out the battleship and the aircraft

USS Arizona

Veronica_W, Apr 2023
Excellent! As a veteran, this is a must tour…to understand naval history & why we commentate Pearl Harbor Day, December 7, each year.

USS Arizona Memorial Package to AVOID!

Donna_W, Apr 2023
This package only gave us sound with earphones and a cellphone to hear what I can read in the wonderful free exhibition. IT didn’t include any boat trip to the USS Arizona Memorial like the name seems would be included. Be aware. They will not let you bring anything larger than a wallet sized purse or bag into the exhibit! I had to leave my wife’s purse in our car and our water bottles too! I never saw this on this package and had to go back to our car to redo as many other people. Please put notes in the lot about this. No kiosks either to pay $7.00 parking! Had to set up on my iPhone to pay it. Need license plate number to complete. To tour the memorial over the ship you do online a purchase if you can get them. They’re a lottery at 3:00pm on the day before you go.

Learn the inside story

LINDA_R, Apr 2023
Enjoyed the audio!!! Very well done. Wish a tour of the memorial was included. 😒 Thank you for the experience.

A Great Experience

Jane_C, Mar 2023
It was a very emotional experience visiting the USS Arizona Memorial and seeing firsthand where so many Americans lost their lives. It is a very simple yet beautiful memorial.

Must experience this

Amanda_T, Mar 2023
Very moving. Freedom isn't free! Some sacrificed all. Everyone if able should visit. All very friendly staff and very helpful.

Can't miss experience

Mariaklau, Oct 2022
This is a solemn and respectful site. Worth the two hour wait to get on the boat to the site. Informative and you can go at your own pace.

USS Arizona memorial

Blair_G, Sep 2022
The memorial was very nice and the associated exhibits were very good. The history was informative about the attack.

Peaceful tour

Danny_S, Aug 2022
This is a great tour and very informative with audio headphones and a vitual reality tour with museums included. However, the sub tour is seperate and getting on the boat over to the USS Arizona is a nightmare unless your able to book tickets on the boat the day before you go right at 3:00pm . Tickets sell out in minutes. Otherwise your stuck waiting for overflow and might get on the boat after a couple of hours waiting in line. Apparently there is construction going on as well, so this might be better in the future. Other than that, very peaceful place and provides empathy for what happened here.

Not a good experience

Cathy_V, Aug 2022
Staff was very rude, no parking, confusing on where to go. Wasted time trying to figure everything out then had to leave.
