Susan_C, Apr 2024

It was great having the audio tour and the boat ride to the USS Arizona all very compelling. It was very moving.

Pearl Harbor Memorial

ayumi_o, Mar 2024

It was sold out on the offical pearl Harbor website, so I was in a hurry to find it, and I was able to book a ticket with Viator!! I'm so happ!! also everybody happy!!

Complete waste of money

Jim_M, Mar 2024

Small print said it didn't include the boat over to the memorial which made it worthless because we already had the audio tour.

Always remember

Tom_B, Feb 2024

The solemnity of what took place and how it evolved to the terrible event that changed the world and put the USA as a dominant force.

Memorable

Lori_B, Feb 2024

Excellent storytelling to guide the experience. Very memorable bringing the history to life. The Arizona Memorial was exceptional.

I enjoyed seeing the...

Kerry_N, Feb 2024

I enjoyed seeing the memorial itself. This my first time since I moved to Hawaii. I visited with my youngest sister, who visited me from New York

Spectacular

Latisha_P, Jan 2024

Very behold and breathtaking moment . A must see if you’re in Hawaii . I recommend everyone who come to make this on your bucket list

Sold wrong package, wasted time and $

Trina_B, Dec 2023

We were sold the wrong package, wasted $16 and had to stand in line to visit the USS Arizona Memorial . Luckily we got in on stand by.

Fin the guide is Fabulous

Dominic_D, Dec 2023

Captain tour guide was excellent…ask for Fin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have to go in and see the main gun tour it’s just amazing how they bring the powder up from six floors below charge the gun and do all the other fun things. It takes to upload 600 pounds of gunpowder and then the projectile or vice versa. Just be careful of the walking in the regular memorial, because after walking on the decks of the Missouri which are fabulous teak, you’ll find the major park a little bit slippery because they seem to have over sealed it. That’s enough.

Horrible! Confusing website

Janet_T, Dec 2023

HORRIBLE AND CONFUSING!! We bought tickets and was charged twice. No help from anyone. Very confusing!

Outstanding

Robert_H, Nov 2023

Very knowledgeable tour! Didn’t know a lot about the Pearl Harbor experience. I would definitely recommend this to anyone to visit.

The experience was...

Doug_R, Nov 2023

The experience was amazing, this was our first trip to Honolulu....it was an honor to visit the USS Arizona Memorial....THANKS!

Hoped to have gone

Lisa_V, Oct 2023

Unfortunately we were unable to go, someone in our party got sick and ended up in the hospital. I’ve been to this memorial before and it was something to visit at least once I. Your lifetime

Very informative tour

Christy_G, Oct 2023

Touring the museum, the Arizona and the Bowfin Submarine was so insightful. Being able to go at our own pace was helpful and the information provided allowed us to understand the history of our country.

Don’t Book Read the fine print

Edward_F, Oct 2023

Total waste of money Your are only paying for a tour goide YOU DO NOT HAVE A TICKET TO GET ON THE USS ARIZONA MEMORIAL. It’s only $1!!!! You have to book that separately. It does say that somewhere down deep in the fine print. We figure that out 3 days before and and could not get in.

Wedding Anniversary

Michael_J, Oct 2023

Visiting the Memorial itself was very moving. The staff was very courteous and helpful also. It was great for my wife to be able to honor her Father's service in the Navy during WW II.

Nice layout of the memorial and good video in the theater

Rasik_D, Oct 2023

Luca our driver gave us an excellent tour of Honolulu. Due to wind we could not get the boat trip to see the memorial up close. Overall the memorial is excellent

Somewhat educational

Julie_R, Oct 2023

Learned unknown facts . Chiefs tour 30 minutes with phone and earbuds. Half of presentation was unavailable. But as not explained, we figured out it was because ours was 30 minutes rather than 60. Directions were unclear. We walked around and did the best we could. Unclear if boat tour was part of our experience. We skipped it, hoping that was correct assumption. Questions we had, didn't seem to have anyone available. Felt like we were left to own devices.
