Stars and Stripes Tour: Pearl Harbor and Battleship Missouri

This tour is moving in more ways than one. Explore and honor three historic sites that shaped the outcome of World War II. You will visit the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center where the United States was catapulted into World War II and its fight in the Pacific began. Next, enjoy a tour of the Battleship Missouri. Knowledgeable guides provide colorful stories about the ship’s history and life at sea during a 35-minute guided tour. Later, honor the freedoms bestowed upon us by all those who bravely served our country since WWI at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl. Before heading back into Waikiki, you will drive through historic Honolulu to see Hawaii State Capitol and Honolulu City Hall, `Iolani Palace, King Kamehameha Statue, and Kawaiaha`o Church. Please note: A navy boat shuttle ride brings you to the USS Arizona Memorial and due to limited capacity, there may be days that the shuttle boat tickets sell out or bad weather prohibits the shuttle from operating.

Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the Pearl Harbor and Battleship Missouri tour?

A: There aren't strict age restrictions for the tour, so it's great for all ages! However, keep in mind that younger kids might not fully appreciate the historical significance. The tour is mostly accessible, but be aware that there’s some walking involved especially at the memorials.

Q: What happens if the navy shuttle to the USS Arizona Memorial is canceled due to weather?

A: If weather cancels the shuttle, the tour guide will usually offer alternatives, like a visit to the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center only. Otherwise, you can reschedule your tour if the shuttle is a must for you. Just reach out to Roberts Hawaii's customer service to discuss your options.

Q: Is parking available if I drive to the tour, and how early should I arrive?

A: Yes, there’s parking available at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, but it can fill up quickly. I'd recommend arriving at least 30-45 minutes before the tour starts to ensure you find a spot and have time to explore the center before heading out.

Anyone worried about the weather on the Pearl Harbor tour?

I’m considering this tour but can’t help but think about the weather. What if it rains? I want to make sure it’s a memorable day, especially if I’m gift-giving. How does the tour handle cancellations due to bad weather?
