About the Experience

Your day begins with convenient pick-up from your Waikīkī hotel or condo, followed by an immersive visit to the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. Learn about the events of December 7, 1941, through detailed exhibits, artifacts, and a moving documentary film before boarding a Navy boat to the USS Arizona Memorial, the final resting place for over 1,100 service members.

Next, travel to Ford Island to explore the historic Battleship Missouri. Walk the same decks where the Japanese surrender documents were signed, marking the end of World War II. After your visit, enjoy a short break for refreshments or a casual lunch before continuing to the airfield for your helicopter adventure.

To conclude the day, embark on a 45-minute helicopter flight that circles the island of O‘ahu. From your window seat, enjoy aerial views of Pearl Harbor, the USS Arizona Memorial, the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (Punchbowl Crater), Downtown Honolulu, Waikīkī Beach, and Diamond Head. This stunning finale provides a powerful new perspective on the historic landmarks you explored earlier from the ground.
