Everyone who visits Honolulu/Oahu should see Pearl Harbor, especially the Arizona Memorial. You are literally visiting a tomb, and the thought that over 1,000 Americans died here is very moving. The inscribed list of names really brings it all home. Two caveats: get your tickets early, and be on time for the ferry. We felt sorry for one family ahead of us--they had tickets for 10:00 and missed that time (ours was 10:30) so they were out. I recommend using a tour so you don't have to worry about it.

This is a must do visit when on Oahu! It was a truly profound, powerful experience! Be sure to check in to board the Navy ship which will transport you to the memorial at least 15 minutes before departure so you can see the incredibly touching and very moving film before heading to the memorial. Mahalo to the National Parks Service for maintaining and supervising the sharing of this very important part of our nation's history.

I wish I could say our visit and experience was moving, emotional, impactful. However; The lack of “respect” for such a place was astonishing.
The seamen transporting tourists to and from the harbor to the memorial DEMANDED respect. They were “clear” and I have to say there was NO audible talking outside of the shuttle captains voice and the engine. It seemed to set the tone.
Before disembarking to the memorial, it was made VERY clear to not stop and take pictures on the ramps and to move in an orderly fashion.
It was like watching spooked cattle scatter once they made it through the ramps. As if this place was more than what it was meant to be…
A place of reverence. A place of immeasurable loss. A place to be silent within ones thoughts, to listen to the Park Ranger share information about the shipmates and the ship. It is a place where the names of all who lost their lives are carved into marble and protected yet visible for all to see and reflect on.
Instead…
The rush to the railings, to look over and spin around and take SELFIES with peace signs is what happened. Parents smushing their kids together to get a photo, taking kids to be posed in font of the wall of names totally distracting every other person from the reason they are there.
There was too much noise and too much hustling in a place that should DEMAND and EXPECT the respect deserved.
My heart hurt for what I witnessed.

Booking starts 3pm day before and is full as soon as it's time to book. Peral Harbor prices over priced!

What a fitting tribute to the "Greatest generation." It is an important to remember the lessons of the past and honor those who died in defense of our freedom.

DO NOT BUY!! This listing is badly represented. This is not a tour of the USS Arizona. You must 1st “reserve” tickets on the recreation.gov website. This step is next to impossible. Tickets become available at 3pm the day before you want to visit and are sold out within 10seconds. This listing is only helpful for those that are successful at making a reservation. I wasn’t able to reserve tickets so the Deluxe Tour tickets are not usable. I tried to cancel, unfortunately, cancellations must happen within 24hrs of your tour…the last entry for the tour is 3pm so you will not get your money back. The listing for this Deluxe Tour is a complete scam and I will never purchase from aviator or TripAdvisor again because of it. You owe me $53.94, the price of 2 adults and 1 child…and I’m active duty military, someone who has fought for this country and deserves to be able to see one of the most important memorials this country has to offer.

Viator, a subsidiary of Trip Advisor, is not reliable. They cannot / will not stand by their tour details. DO NOT trust Viator: use local tour guides or companies.
We bought a package tour, including tickets, to the USS Arizona. The day of the tour we found out tickets were not included: 4 of us stood in line for 90 minutes to get tickets.

I always wanted to visit Pearl Harbor. I am glad that I was there and had the opportunity to see it first hand. It is a sad place to be, as this puts it all into reality. We can't forget our history and erase the past.

Can i carry a clear crossbody purse into the Arrizona Memorial? The bag is approved for entry to the NFL football games.

Yes, you can. It must be completely clear plastic. There were several women in our small tour group that had something similar to a clear plastic "toiletry kit" bag for their wallet, phone, etc.

The website says the memorial boat tour is closed indefinitely. Does anyone know why and how long it's been this way? We are visiting in January. So disappointed to hear this.

The website show that the boats are not running to the actual memorial. The park is open, the museums are open but you will not be able visit the USS Arizona. The website does not state why the boats aren't running. I suggest that you call. Here is the number 808 422-3399.

I checked the Pearl Harbor (nps.gov) website and it appears things continue to be open. I would note that if you get tickets at the Memorial site, they are frequently less expensive than getting them through other venues. You can also buy "packages" at the site as well since there are other things to see (e.g. USS Missouri, a submarine, etc.)

First time poster here! We are going to visit the USS Arizona Memorial when we visit Hawaii in June (hopefully!) and I am planning on purchasing the free ($1.00) advance tickets today. We are undecided about the audio tour right now. Can you add on the audio tour when you get there or do you have to purchase it when you purchase your advance ticket? Thanks for your help!

When is the earliest time I can get there and still get a walk up ticket for the ferry to the memorial?

If you go to this Park site, the Pearl Harbor National Parks site.
It give you all the information you may need. They suggest arrive at 7:00 am to get the free tickets.. They give out about 1300 a day. This is a first come, first served.
As of today, June 26, 2019 they shoe that the Memorial is still closed for repairs. But the rest of the Pearl harbor Park is open.

I believe the Park opens at 07:00 so I would imagine anytime from then onwards. It is also likely not to be as busy. Remember also tickets to the Memorial is free as is access to I think two musings located inside the visitor centre.
I hope that helps.

Five friends will be in the area June 1 - 5. Will the Arizona be open at this time? If not how can we take advantage of the Navel tour? Our parents were in WWII. Thank you

I'm not sure when the USS Arizona will be open for visitors. We were there in early March 2019 and couldn't access it. There's a boat ride with a tour guide that will get you close to it. The museum and total experience are well worth it.
