Overview

Visit Pearl Harbor and have access to the USS Arizona Memorial.
We arrive early—before the big motorcoaches and crowds—so you can experience this powerful site in a more peaceful setting. Your guide personally walks you into Pearl Harbor National Park, giving a full orientation to help you navigate the site with confidence. You'll have ~3 hours for a self-guided visit, including the museums and boat ride to the USS Arizona Memorial (Tickets First Come First Serve). This is the only tour that also includes a guided walk through Historic Downtown Honolulu, visiting ʻIolani Palace, King Kamehameha Statue, and more. Small group (max. 14) for a comfortable, respectful experience.

Minimum of 4 Guests per Tour
Pearl Harbor Parks Department does not allow tour guides to tour the Visitor Center or USS Arizona Memorial with guests; therefore, this ~3-hour portion of your tour is self-guided.
The tour route might change e.g. due to traffic
Early Access Pearl Harbor tours begin at approximately 6:30 AM. Additional departures (around 8:15 AM and 10:15 AM) may be added when the early departure sells out. If early access is full, guests will be notified and placed on a later departure time.
Access to the USS Arizona Memorial is controlled by the National Park Service and the U.S. Navy and may be limited or unavailable due to operational or capacity restrictions. Daniels Hawaii facilitates access to the USS Arizona Memorial either via boat tickets or the official standby process; however, ticket availability is controlled by the National Park Service and cannot be guaranteed. If boat access or standby entry is not granted, this is beyond our control and does not qualify for a refund. Guests may still enjoy the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center exhibits, memorial grounds, and the remainder of the tour as scheduled. Please note that the Pearl Harbor portion of the tour is self-guided, and tour routes or timing may vary due to traffic or operational conditions.
Cancellation Policy
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

2.00I would firstly say the people on the ground running the tours are great and hard working people. Our tour guide was friendly and professional and informative. My beef is with the cost and what we got for our money. We wanted to see Pearl Harbour and the memorial and war museum. No where in our conversation with bookings did it say pay $170 for two people and “oh by the way you might not make it in to the memorial and even if you do you will only have 2hrs to see everything and then we must move on to the city tour”. So we paid the money for pick up found out we basically spent $170 for a one way drive to pearl harbour and some very simple instructions on how to buy your tickets to get into the Memorial. We opted not to be picked up two hours later because there is way too much stuff to see in only two hours. Once we were done 4.5 hrs later we took a public bus back to Waikiki.
Great Guide and Great Tour

5.00Our tour guide Christine was wonderful. She was on time and kept our group on schedule with the activities. Christine gave us a lot of history while on the bus, and made it interesting at the same time. And the walking portion of the tour was great! Christine is a fantastic guide. I would highly recommend this tour.

Pearl Harbor was a win but Downtown was not

4.00Pearl Harbor was amazing! However, we really didn’t need 4.5 hours there. Spent about an hour and a half waiting around to meet back up. Then, there was no guided walking tour of downtown. Our driver parked for 20 minutes in downtown and we had to race around and try to find the sites ourselves and rush back to the bus. Wish some of the Pearl Harbor time had been used for downtown.
Book with this service, they might bump you without notice

2.00Not impressed with this company. My Mom and I signed up for a tour because we had attempted to secure tickets for Pearl Harbor online, but weren't successful. To be sure we had guaranteed tickets, we signed up with the company. We signed up for a 6:30 pick up and were confirmed to be gone until 12:30. The next morning, we were down waiting for the shuttle and noticed that there was a text saying we had been bumped to 8:15. No one ever called, just sent an email and text. My mother doesn't sit on her phone like most so we hadn't noticed. When the driver came, she was rather short with us and mentioned that she had her group, we were not on her list. We received a call at 7:20 saying we had been moved. Remember, our confirmation was for 6:30. It's clear that the company took a family of 6 over our 2 reservations and moved us to a later time without our agreement and no compensation. Yet had we cancelled or moved the reservation, we would have had to pay. It's disappointing that they couldn't have made the call for our approval or to let us know. Not at all happy with this service. Book with someone else! We got to see the USS Arizona but it really was an expensive uber.
Disappointing

2.00Disappointment. We didn’t do half of the planned activities. Only Pearl Harbor and USS. A non-stop city tour.
