★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,009 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $154Our pick

Visit the USS Arizona and Missouri from Ko Olina with hotel pickup, history-rich narration, and a full day at Pearl Harbor.

“The tour guide / driver Steve did a good job giving us interesting information and facts on our journey. The tour itself was basically self guided. Steve did not go with the group on either the Arizona or Missouri battleship tour. Bottom line the tour was good but it was just basically transportation. We have a rental car and could have easily done this on our own.”

The view was amazing and we had a great time! We saw whales and dolphins and the captain caught a huge tuna. You get 2 drinks and snacks included in the price which is a bargain in itself.

Boat is fantastic. Felt a little bit sea sick, it would have been better if they have meds that we can purchase on board. All in all, it was a great day.”
