Pearl Harbor memorial tour
The tour felt rushed. Not much time to see all museums. Not much time at the memorial either.... walk in see a few plaques and back on the boat. The tour guide on the shuttle was phenomenal!!! Was a wealth of knowledge..... If you want to see all museums and have time to shop this is not the tour.... If you just want to see the memorial is fine - but not worth the money.... We spent more time on shuttle then at the memorial

Excellent personal touch
Our driver and tour guide John (Karma Tours Bus #1) did an exceptional job, was personable and friendly. He made the drive time more enjoyable.

Hassle free visit to Pearl Harbor
Just the perfect length of time. Driver was professional and informative. Easy to find pickup location.

Mixed review
Our guide Jay Lee was informative and engaging. Unfortunately our pick-up was late and then we got stuck in traffic and missed our appointed time at Arizona Memorial. Thx to the grace of a park ranger, we did get to visit the memorial, although missed the movie. Karma Tours did give us an extra half hour at park, so had time to visit the USS Bowfin as well. If we did it again, we would do it on our own via Uber or taxi, with an advanced reservation for the memorial.

The memorial was...
The memorial was beautiful. The driver was unable to tell us when we would be back to our resort, so we ended up taking an uber back.

Pearl Harbor USS Arizona Memorial Tour from Waikiki: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oahu.
How much does Pearl Harbor USS Arizona Memorial Tour from Waikiki cost?
+
Prices start at $55 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 Pearl Harbor USS Arizona Memorial Tour from Waikiki take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Pearl Harbor USS Arizona Memorial Tour from Waikiki worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 6,314 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Oahu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Pearl Harbor USS Arizona Memorial 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 Pearl Harbor USS Arizona Memorial Tour from Waikiki suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pearl Harbor USS Arizona Memorial Tour from Waikiki?
+
Around 2,210 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pearl Harbor USS Arizona Memorial 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, Pearl Harbor Remembered Tour, Oahu Majestic Circle Island Tour with Waimea Falls and Byodo Inn. 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.

+

+
