Create the perfect Pearl Harbor experience for your family with the flexibility to explore at your own pace. Choose from any of the Memorial attractions and spend as much or as little time as you like at each one.

Frequent questions

About private Pearl Harbor Tours

Got questions about stop durations, what’s included in the price, or which tour length is best for your family? Don’t worry, we haven’t got all the answers here, but there are quite a few. We’ve compiled everything you need to know to make planning your tour enjoyable and straightforward.

It’s fully private, flexible, and built around your interests. Choose the sites you want to see, from the USS Arizona Memorial to the Battleship Missouri or Aviation Museum, and explore at your own pace. We help secure reservations and skip lines, so you can focus on the experience, not the logistics.

Whether it’s a short visit or a full day, this tour adapts to your schedule and honors the history in a way that works for you.

Yes, there are a few important regulations, though most affect us more than you. The National Park Service operates the Visitor Center and museums. At the same time, the USS Arizona Memorial is jointly managed with the U.S. Navy, and they enforce strict rules that all tour companies must follow.

Ford Island, home to the Battleship Missouri and Aviation Museum, is an active military base with its own security and access protocols. Both areas have federal law enforcement on site; everyone must always follow their guidelines.

Yes and no. The Arizona Memorial is a powerful and historic place, but it’s more reflective than ʻfun,ʻ especially for younger kids. There’s quite a bit of walking and sun exposure, which can also be tiring for older guests. That said, there are shaded rest areas, snacks available, and several exhibits to keep little ones engaged. Feel free to reach out if you have specific concerns about your group. We’re happy to help you plan the best experience.

If you just want to experience the Visitor Center and see the Arizona Memorial, you only need a half-day. You even have time for another exhibit, a little sightseeing, or lunch. But for those who want to see several exhibits, you need to book a full-day excursion or longer.

On the other hand, there are several options for self-guided components, which will help stretch your time.

Of course, since everything is private and custom, you’re in complete control. Our a la carte approach means you’re not locked into any specific exhibits. Want to explore certain areas more deeply? Go for it.  If something doesn’t pique your interest, feel free to skip it.

It’s all about creating a personalized experience that fits your needs, no wasting time, no wasted money. You’ll see precisely what you want and skip what you don’t. After all, it’s your tour, your way.

This part of the tour is about soaking in the sights. There are several ʻphoto stops,ʻ whether on your way to or after your visit to the National War Memorial. A great example? The iconic Kamehameha Statue in Downtown Honolulu is always a crowd favorite.
Of course. One of the best parts about a private tour is its flexibility. You can always make some adjustments on the fly, but remember that some changes, particularly for the Arizona Memorial, require advance notice. If we miss that shuttle boat, another one might not be available, so it’s best to plan ahead.

Some Pearl Harbor attractions, like the trip to the Utah Memorial, require reservations. But we always recommend booking your ʻmust-seeʻ tickets in advance.
