This unforgettable tour begins with a visit to Pearl Harbor Visitors Center, the largest visitor attraction on O‘ahu. Here you will enjoy the many wonderful exhibits, galleries and displays the center has to offer. You will also be able to see the Arizona Memorial from the Visitor Center and if we are lucky enough to secure a navy shuttle boat ticket, a Navy boat shuttle will tour the harbor along battleship row and when you reach the USS Arizona Memorial you will debark to board the memorial. This journey continues to the historic National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl, a historical landmark offering a backdrop of scenic rolling green hills and lush foliage, where we honor the many men and women who served in the Armed Forces. We wrap up this experience with a narrated tour of downtown Honolulu, where guests will see the impressive state buildings and learn about the ‘Iolani Palace (the only royal palace on American soil), as well as visit the majestic statue of King Kamehameha (the great Hawaiian warrior-king who united the Islands.
