The USS Arizona Memorial is a white, open-air structure that spans the remains of the sunken battleship. It's a solemn and quiet place, designed to allow visitors to reflect on the sacrifices made by the sailors and Marines who were lost during the attack. Viewing the Wreckage: Inside the memorial you can look down into the water to see parts of the sunken battleship. The ship's outline is visible just below the surface, and oil droplets, often referred to as "The Tears of the Arizona," can still be seen rising to the surface. Remembrance Wall: At the far end of the memorial is a wall inscribed with the names of the 1,177 crew members who lost their lives aboard the USS Arizona. This wall serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war.

Excellent tour of Pearl and Honolulu, well worth it!
We never knew we had a Hawaiian cousin until we experienced this tour! Our newly minted Hawaiian cousin Maya was spectacular. He taught us so much during this tour, made us laugh, and even took us to get Malasada (famous Hawaiian donuts) from a food truck on the way to Pearl Harbor! This is not like any other tour at Pearl, our tour guide walked us in with pre-printed passes for the USS Arizona, gave us a complete understanding of grounds with important tips, everything we must see, and timing to optimize our experience. Very well done cousin!
Response from the operator: Aloha Anthony! 🌺 Mahalo nui loa for this fantastic review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your "newly minted Hawaiian cousin" Maya made your visit to Pearl Harbor so incredible. 🍩✨ It is wonderful to hear that he kept you laughing, shared so much great knowledge, and treated you to some delicious malasadas on the way! We are also glad that having those pre-printed passes and his insider tips helped you optimize your time and get the most out of such an important, historic site. We will be sure to pass your warm "cousinly" praise along to Maya—he will be so happy to hear it! *A hui hou* (until we meet again)! 🤙🏾

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Arizona Memorial & Historic Honolulu City Tour from Waikiki Area: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Honolulu.
How much does Arizona Memorial & Historic Honolulu City Tour from Waikiki Area cost?
+
Prices start at $76 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Honolulu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Arizona Memorial & Historic Honolulu City Tour from Waikiki Area take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Honolulu is not rushed.
Is Arizona Memorial & Historic Honolulu City Tour from Waikiki Area worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Honolulu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Arizona Memorial & Historic Honolulu City Tour from Waikiki Area?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Arizona Memorial & Historic Honolulu City Tour from Waikiki Area suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Arizona Memorial & Historic Honolulu City Tour from Waikiki Area?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Honolulu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Honolulu and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Arizona Memorial & Historic Honolulu City Tour from Waikiki Area start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Honolulu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Honolulu?
+
Honolulu and greater Oahu run on early starts. Pearl Harbor memorial tickets release on a fixed schedule, the North Shore circle-island loop needs a full day, and the catamaran and snorkel runs off Waikiki fill fast in season. We rank on whether the operator secures Pearl Harbor entry themselves and how tight the circle-island itinerary really is. On Outty we rank every Honolulu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kevo's Beach Bus Paddleboard Snorkel Adventure North Shore Oahu, Pearl Harbor City Tour, Ultimate Pearl Harbor Circle Island. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Honolulu?
+
April to June and September to November, between the wet season and peak crowds. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Honolulu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
