    Disappointed

    After paying for the tickets your company neglected to secure the actual boat ride to the memorial. We had to secure stand by seats.😢

    Good Info Bad battery

    I ordered 2 Multimedia tours. It was hard to follow the numbers around the park due to not always being visible. The information that was given was very informative. But when we were on the way to the Arizona Memorial one of the phones stopped working. The battery went dead. But because we paid for it on Trip Advisor that could not refund the money.

    Must see!

    Amazing, historical location that is a must see in Oahu. May we never forget what happened to our military and civilians.

    A must see in the State

    I have been here twice now, the first time there was an internment, (never held a salute for so long in my life), both times there is a solemnity that permeates the memorial. I salute my fallen comrades in arms.

    A Great Historic Place to visit

    This was a very informative tour with good commentary and ample time for individual exploration and observation. There were plenty of memorials to read about and explore. The place is spacious and clean, with easy-to-access restrooms and eating facilities.

    Official Pearl Harbor Captain's Self-Guided Multimedia Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oahu.

    How much does Official Pearl Harbor Captain's Self-Guided Multimedia Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $9 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 Official Pearl Harbor Captain's Self-Guided Multimedia Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour 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 Official Pearl Harbor Captain's Self-Guided Multimedia Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 6 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 Official Pearl Harbor Captain's Self-Guided Multimedia Tour?

    +

    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 Official Pearl Harbor Captain's Self-Guided Multimedia Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Official Pearl Harbor Captain's Self-Guided Multimedia Tour?

    +

    Around 2 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Official Pearl Harbor Captain's Self-Guided Multimedia Tour 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.
