By: Hawaii Tours
Pearl Harbor is one of the most famous sites in Hawaii, and perhaps even the entire country. Visitors come to the site of the attacks that launched the United States into World War II to pay respects to the fallen heroes that both fought off the attacks and perished during the surprise ambush in the early morning hours of December 7, 1941. On that morning, the quiet island of Oahu was forever changed and the world would never be the same. During your vacation to Hawaii, Pearl Harbor Group Tours are the perfect option for showing your fellow travelers the sites and history of Pearl Harbor at a variety of museums and memorials that stand to honor the brave heroes of that day and the ensuing war.
During your Pearl Harbor Group Tours, you’ll find the following museums, memorials, and exhibits, all displaying an integral part of Pearl Harbor’s history.
Pearl Harbor Visitor Center
The first site you will encounter during your Pearl Harbor Group Tour, the visitor center provides panoramic views of the harbor, the museums situated in the water, and includes a handful of exhibits to check out. There are authentic war relics and equipment situated around the harbor, and this is the perfect place for pictures of your group.
USS Arizona Memorial
The site that everyone looks most forward to, the USS Arizona Memorial is the iconic white structure that is situated over the wreckage of the battleship. Your group will be given a boarding time, and following a short boat ride out to the memorial, you’ll have the chance to board and view the wreckage of the USS Arizona while paying respects to those forever entombed within the battleship.
USS Missouri Battleship
One of the most important vessels in United States history, the Mighty Mo has seen its fair share of action. Originally commissioned for World War II, the battleship saw action for over 50 years, eventually being decommissioned and docked at Pearl Harbor, overlooking the USS Arizona Memorial. Your group will absolutely love exploring the decks of the battleship and learning its history.
USS Bowfin Submarine
Known as the Pearl Harbor Avenger, the Bowfin is docked at the Visitor Center and self-guided audio tours enhance a tour through the tight corridors of the sub. You will learn so much about the Bowfin and hear all about its often controversial career.
Pacific Aviation Museum
This museum features the history of aviation for the United States, and shares the importance of the advent of taking battles to the skies. Your group will see many different planes that have seen action since World War I, and the building itself was part of the tragic attacks from that fateful morning, with bullet holes still in the walls!
