About Kauai to Oahu – World War II Heroes Deluxe Pearl Harbor Tour
Fly from Lihue to Honolulu for a full day immersed in World War II history. After a seamless airport pickup, your guide sets the stage as you cross Pearl Harbor by Navy launch to the Arizona Memorial, where white pillars stand above the sunken battleship in silent tribute. Back on shore, wander the visitor center's shoreline exhibits before stepping below deck aboard the Bowfin Submarine to discover life beneath the waves.
Next, cross the bridge to Ford Island and walk the teak decks of the Battleship Missouri, standing on the spot where Japan's surrender ended the war. After lunch in the Aviation Museum's historic hangar café, admire restored warbirds and bullet-scarred hangar doors that still bear witness to December 7, 1941. Throughout the day, your guide weaves together personal stories and pivotal moments for a deep, engaging look at Pearl Harbor's legacy.
