About the Experience

Your day begins with an early morning flight from Hilo to Honolulu.

Following your helicopter tour, enjoy a self-guided visit to Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. Explore the museums and exhibits, watch a documentary film, and take a Navy shuttle boat to the USS Arizona Memorial (reservation required).
