Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids to go on this Pearl Harbor tour?

A: There’s no strict age limit, but they recommend it for kids aged 8 and up. The experience is pretty intense with the documentary and the memorial, so it might not resonate with younger kids. Just check with the guide if you're unsure about your child's maturity level!

Q: What should we wear for the Battleship tour? Is it outdoors?

A: You’ll be outside for some parts, so definitely wear comfy shoes and lightweight clothing. Hats and sunscreen are a must since it can get hot! Also, bring a light jacket for the boat ride over to the USS Arizona Memorial.

Q: If the weather's bad, do they cancel the tour?

A: They usually operate rain or shine, but severe weather can lead to cancellations. If you're concerned about the forecast, it's best to check in with the provider the day before or when you arrive at Pearl Harbor!

Just did the Pearl Harbor Battleship tour and it was incredible!

I just got back from the Battleships of WWII tour at Pearl Harbor, and wow, what an experience. Our guide was super knowledgeable, and the boat ride to the USS Arizona Memorial was really moving. The documentary was so intense, I definitely felt the weight of history. I’d recommend it to anyone interested in WWII or history in general! Also, make sure to wear good shoes; you’ll want to walk around a lot!

Thinking about gifting the Battleships tour for my dad’s birthday!

My dad loves WWII history, so I’m looking at getting him the Pearl Harbor tour for his birthday. It sounds emotional and educational, but I’m a little worried about how the timing works. Does anyone know how long the whole thing lasts? I want to make sure it won’t take up the whole day since we have other plans too.
