Combine a historic tour of Pearl Harbor with a complete van tour around the Island of Oahu. This Pearl Harbor tour includes a 22-minute documentary film about the attack at Pearl Harbor followed by a Navy Boat ride to the Arizona Memorial. The memorial is suspended over the USS Arizona and is a solemn reminder of the 1,177 souls interned below in the sunken battleship who died that fateful day.
The second part of this tour is our Oahu Circle Island excursion, taking in the beauty of the island from every side. Travel from the stunning beaches of Oahu’s North Shore, lush rainforests of the Ko`olau Mountains, historic downtown Honolulu and more. The diverse scenery is just part of what makes Oahu so special, and you will see it all! Listed below are the highlights of your combo tour.
Our day begins with a stop at Pearl Harbor. This National Monument includes numerous museums and exhibits in and around the Visitor Center. After a brief historical film screening of the Pearl Harbor attack, we’ll board a Navy skip an motor out to the Arizona Memorial. Walk the deck of this amazing memorial building suspended over the sunken battleship. Talk to a volunteer veteran, read the historical signs and plaques. Enter the solemn room housing the “Wall of Remembrance” where the names of all 1,177 of the fallen sailors aboard the sunken battleship are etched in marble.
We’ll next head north from Pearl Harbor to get some great treats at the Dole Pineapple Plantation. This stop has a variety of exhibits that celebrate the history of pineapples in Hawaii. Explore the pavilion store that holds some great souvenirs as well as the “Dole Whip” – the best pineapple ice cream on the island! There is also a vintage train, the worlds largest outdoor maze, the pineapple gardens and other paid attractions at this location for you to enjoy (not included in tour price) if you choose. Relax on the porch enjoy a snack, but not too much as our next stop is for lunch…
Touring around the island, the best views are from within the vehicle. Your elevated seats and oversized windows on our small group tours are the best way to see historic towns, famous beaches and more. The guides stop at the North Shore food trucks (the locally farmed shrimp is amazing!) at the Kahuku Sugar Mill for a truly authentic “island” experience. Talk to your guide that day for the options.
See the surfer lifestyle in action as we drive through various small North Shore communities, each with their own style and offerings. Explore scenic views as we drive across Waimea Bay, Sunset Beach, and other famous beaches and overlooks to watch the surfers tackle the legendary big waves during the winter months.
As we move around the island in a large loop, we stop at various coastal and pali (cliff) overlooks that provide outstanding views. Your guide will share stories of locations with important historical or culturally significants to the Hawaiian people. Hear the stories of the ancient past and learn how Kamehameha and the ancient Hawaiian chiefs battled and ruled over the land.
