bump

The price I saw was $62.00

which takes you to the Arizona Memorial MUSEUM

and across the Ford Island Bridge to Ford Island

where the USS Missouri is berthed (parked)

and up and in the National Cemetary of the Pacific PUNCHBOWL

what these tour companies DONT SAY is that inspite of getting

a hotel pick-up and the above (and maybe some treat etc)

you will NOT get onto a boat (launch) ANY FASTER.

The Navy operates the boats that goes directly to the Arizona Memorial itself.

so! the value of that tour would be the MO and PUNCHBOWL

Taking your own time no rushing and using THEBUS with

transfers would only cost you $4.00 if just seeing the

Arizona is part of your plans.

and /or maybe time to

hike or stroll over to the Aloha Stadium Flea Market.

Online you can reserve it for $57. I think everyone in our group wants to see the Missouri also. I think that I read somewhere that the guided tour of the Missouri is $49 and better than the selfguided tour. (get to see more). So is this a good deal if we were planning to see the Missouri anyway?

sounds okay (all three places, Ya?)

Where did you see there was a self-guided tour over to

the Missouri? because the bridge is heavily guarded

It is considered a military installation so unless the source

you read is military or DoD and or gets permission from

these two, there is NO WAY a non-military (not sure about

Vets) can get onto the Island to see the MO without it

being a guided tour. and Guided Tours are pretty good.

on top of it all you can add another Island to your list of

islands going to FORD.

anyhow hope it all works out for ya'll

Hi Aynnie,

My family (2 adults + 14 & 16 yr olds) did the Stars & Stripes tour and absolutely loved it. It is well worth the money. We had the funniest tour guide (ted), who's knowledge of hawaii was great. This tour starts very early 6:30, which means that you get to pearl harbor early and don't have to wait hours for your trip out to the memorial. Considering what is included in the price, Arizona Memorial, Guided Tour of the USS Missouri Battleship, Guided Tour of Punchbowl Cemetery, The National Cemetery of the Pacific, Hawaii State Capital, Iolani Palace, Kamehameha Statue, State Library and Archives, Honolulu City Hall, Kwaiahao Church, Mission Houses.

Do it. You will be happy that you did. The information and comfort you get on this tour, you can't get on thebus.

Touris#rap'd,

You can take a self guided tour of the Missouri.

You just can't go onto the naval base by yourself. But you can go to the Arizona Memorial visitors center and next to it is the Bowfin Memorial. You may purchase tickets for the Missouri here and catch a trolley to the Battleship Missouri.

Private vehicles are not allowed on to Ford Island unless you have a base pass issued by the Navy.

Cheers

Thanks for the info sleepy! We're leaving at the end of next week and I can't wait!

I forgot about the Bowfin thanks there

thanks too you all for the added pointers.
