Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Battleships of WWII tour?

A: There’s no strict age limit, but it's best suited for older kids and adults since the historical content can be quite heavy. The tour involves some walking and listening, so keep that in mind if you're bringing younger children. But teens usually enjoy it a lot!

Q: How does the weather affect the tour? What if it rains?

A: The tour runs rain or shine since some parts are indoors, like the documentary. If it rains while you’re on the boat to the USS Arizona Memorial, they have ponchos available. Just dress appropriately for the weather; maybe bring a light jacket too!

Q: What’s the parking situation like at Pearl Harbor?

A: Parking can get pretty packed, especially during peak tourist seasons. It’s best to arrive early to find a spot. The good news is that if you’re taking the shuttle from Kauai, you won’t have to deal with parking at all since they handle transportation for you!

Hey everyone! I'm considering buying the Battleships of WWII tour at Pearl Harbor for my dad's birthday. He’s a huge history buff but also a bit hard to impress. Has anyone done this tour from Kauai? What was the best part? I want to make sure it’s worth it!

Just did the Battleships tour—amazing experience!

I just got back from the Battleships of WWII tour at Pearl Harbor and wow, it was powerful! The documentary about the USS Arizona was so moving. The boat ride to the memorial really made it feel real. I highly recommend it as a gift for anyone interested in history!
