Get your tickets on-line in advance and pay for the audio tour - it really makes a difference to be able to hear about what you are looking at - it gives you a greater understanding. I learned a lot - even my teenage daughter enjoyed the experience and did not get bored. Hearing the stories is very helpful.

A great day out imagining the horrors of that day and seeing what happened to the might of the US destroyer fleet at Pearl Harbour and experiencing the almost ghostly tomb of the sailors of the USS Arizona. A must visit in Hawaii

Beautiful memorial museums with interactive displays and videos. Really brings the history to life. A must for history buffs.

This is a must visit destination when in Hawaii. Although it is very busy, people are mindful of where they are and are most respectful.

When we got to Pearl Harbor our tour booking had a one half hour wait time anyway. Further, when we got to the movie theatre the projector had... More

Booked this as a tour and was disappointed that the bus turned up 45mins late and then we only had 3 hrs there, nowhere near enough time. We did not go back with the tour but opted instead to spend day there and pay $2.50 to get the bus back to Waikiki which is outside the front door. You need... More
