About Polynesian Adventure Tours – Big Island to Oahu – World War II Heroes Deluxe Pearl Harbor Tour
Fly from Kona to Oahu for a full day immersed in the history of Pearl Harbor. This comprehensive neighbor island tour brings together the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, Arizona Memorial, USS Bowfin submarine, USS Missouri battleship and Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum in one carefully planned experience.
After an early morning flight from Kona to Honolulu, begin at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, where World War II exhibits and historic displays help set the scene. Watch a documentary featuring footage from the 1941 attack, then board a Navy shuttle boat to the Arizona Memorial and pay tribute to the servicemen who lost their lives aboard the sunken USS Arizona below.
The tour continues to the USS Bowfin submarine and the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum before reaching the USS Missouri, known as the "Mighty Mo." Standing on the deck where the Japanese surrender to the Allies was signed in 1945 brings the story of World War II to a powerful close.
