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.

Informative and Impactful Tour
This was a fantastic tour and our driver Will was incredibly informative about the history of Pearl Harbor and Oahu. Once you’re at the memorial is when you realize how much history is packed into such a small place, and just how monumental and impactful it was. Also, many thanks to Will for being proactive in communicating since we had some issues between the main office telling me a change in the time and location of the pick up and not updating him.
Response from the operator: Aloha 🌺 Mahalo nui loa for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear Will made your Pearl Harbor experience meaningful with his knowledge and storytelling 🤙 We also appreciate your understanding regarding the pickup communication and are glad Will kept you informed and helped make everything go smoothly. Mahalo for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Hawaiʻi again soon 🌈🌺

Tour company cancels why?
Our excursion got cancelled by the tour company saying due to navy shut port after hurricane. Other excursions with other companies we called said that was not so. So we chose another company to go with. Thanks to visitor for giving us a full refund. I would check your companies you book thru alittle better.
Response from the operator: Aloha RenayMcMurtrey, 🌺 Mahalo for reaching out and sharing your feedback regarding your Arizona Memorial Pearl Harbor & Honolulu City Tour. We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience caused by the cancellation of your excursion following the storm. During severe weather events like Tropical Storm Lala, port conditions and U.S. Navy boat operations to the USS Arizona Memorial can change rapidly. While our decisions are made out of an abundance of caution for guest safety and operational requirements set by official authorities, we understand how disappointing it is to have your plans disrupted especially when other tour options were available. We are glad to hear that Viator was able to process a full refund for your tour, and we appreciate your candid feedback as we work to improve our customer communication during weather-related disruptions. *A hui hou* (until we meet again) 🤙

Very Enjoyable Day
We were happy to go on this tour. Originally it was scheduled a day earlier but with Hurricane/Tropical Storm Lala our cruise ship could not dock until the next day. The tour company worked with our schedule in order to give us a chance to see Pearl Harbor and Honolulu. We were able to change our meetup location making for a less stressful day of travel, which we appreciated very much. Will was personable, entertaining and engaging with his storytelling history lessons. He really wanted us to have the best possible experience with the short time we had in Honolulu. He succeeded, thank you Will.

Will made the tour fun...
Will made the tour fun and interesting with details about what happened before the Pearl Harbor attack started, details about the Punchbowl and about the King’s palace and state buildings.
Response from the operator: Aloha Ray_T! 🌺 Mahalo for your review! We are so glad to hear you had such a fun and interesting time on your Arizona Memorial Pearl Harbor & Honolulu City Tour. It’s fantastic to know how much you enjoyed exploring with Will and appreciated his rich details about Honolulu's historic sites, the Punchbowl, and the events leading up to Pearl Harbor. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him! 🏝️✨ *A hui hou* (until we meet again)! 🤙

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Arizona Memorial Pearl Harbor & Honolulu City Tour from Waikiki: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oahu.
How much does Arizona Memorial Pearl Harbor & Honolulu City Tour from Waikiki cost?
+
Prices start at $70 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oahu 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 Pearl Harbor & Honolulu City Tour from Waikiki take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Oahu is not rushed.
Is Arizona Memorial Pearl Harbor & Honolulu City Tour from Waikiki worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 315 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oahu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Arizona Memorial Pearl Harbor & Honolulu City Tour from Waikiki?
+
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 Pearl Harbor & Honolulu City Tour from Waikiki suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Arizona Memorial Pearl Harbor & Honolulu City Tour from Waikiki?
+
Around 110 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 Oahu 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 Oahu and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Arizona Memorial Pearl Harbor & Honolulu City Tour from Waikiki 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 Oahu 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 Oahu?
+
On Outty we rank every Oahu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Oahu: Full or Half Day Grand Circle Island Tour, Oahu Small-Group Circle Island Tour with Turtle Snorkeling, Pearl Harbor Remembered Tour. 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 Oahu?
+
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 Oahu?
+
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.
