USS Missouri, Arizona Memorial & Pearl Harbor Tour
The Arizona Memorial was
closed in late May due to needed structural repairs. This is an ongoing
repair job that currently does not have a scheduled completion date.
During this time, depending on availability and time it may be possible
for the tour to take the navy launch around the harbor without landing
at the Arizona Memorial. When repairs are completed and the Arizona
Memorial is reopened, it will be added back into the tour.
This deeply moving experience begins with a visit to Pearl Harbor's Arizona Memorial and Visitor Center to commemorate America's entry into WWII. Next, tour the battleship USS Missouri where the armistice ending the war was signed. On the return to Waikiki drive through historic downtown and the Punchbowl National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
