Visit where you like, skip what you want. Itʻs great for:

These 12-hour tours are fully customizable, but itʻs always a good idea to book Arizona Memorial tickets in advance. The walk-up seats can run out or have long waits, especially during the summer and holidays. So please take a moment to browse answers to frequent questions below.
Since the National Park requires guests to arrive at least an hour before any reserved ticket times, assuming you visit the Arizona Memorial, the minimum length of time here is 2-3 hours. Because of National Park Regulations, no company can offer guided tours ON the Memorial.
*The United States Navy and National Park Service can close the facilities at any time for any reason, including the shuttle boats to the Arizona Memorial.
When it comes to pickup and drop-off, it’s easier to list where we don’t pick up. As long as the area is safe and accessible for our vehicle, we can pick up guests from nearly any legal location. If you’re a Hawaii resident, we might even be able to provide transportation to and from your home, depending on your neighborhood and event. But hereʻs an easy reference:
We offer simple, flat-rate group pricing for private custom tours, designed to give you maximum value and complete flexibility. Our tours are fully customizable and priced à la carte, so you only pay for the experiences you truly want. Go big with all the bells and whistles, or keep it relaxed and minimal; it’s your trip, your way.
Oahu has way too much to explore to squeeze into one standard package, and we wouldn’t want to limit your experience. That’s why our custom tours are designed with flexibility in mind. Optional add-ons are entirely up to you, so you can adjust plans based on weather, traffic, energy levels, or (let’s be honest) how much fun the kids are having.
This approach also means no hidden fees or surprise markups, just clear, upfront pricing with no commissions driving the agenda. It keeps things simple, stress-free, and all about you.
Besides the unforgettable memories and nonstop fun? That’s entirely up to you. Every tour is custom-built around your interests, pace, and travel style, so no two experiences are ever the same.
The Visitor Center is only open for about 10 hours, so weʻll have some time for the drive. But whether you’re chasing adventure, culture, relaxation, or all of the above, we’ll help shape the perfect trip for you and your crew. Here’s a quick snapshot of what to expect:
While our vehicles don’t have wheelchair lifts, we do our best to make tours as accessible and comfortable as possible. Guests need to be able to enter and exit the vehicle independently.
But beyond that, we’re happy to work with you to explore alternative solutions that support your mobility needs. Although, there is a lot of walking and not every place provides wheelchairs, so guests should be prepared.
In addition, please be aware some service activities may have accessibility limitations so please reach out in advance.
We may even be able to store the device between tours. So please let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly and help ensure the best experience possible. But hereʻs an easy recap:
Our private tours are designed to delight guests of all ages. We can customize routes and activities to fit nearly any request, ensuring a memorable experience for everyone.
Most Pearl Harbor attractions are great for children aged 6 and up. While the Arizona Memorial is quiet and reflective, kids will enjoy the interactive exhibits, hands-on displays, and engaging activities throughout the Visitor Center.
No bags are allowed into the Visitor Center. On the other hand, you will be traveling in a private vehicle and there is also a luggage area for bag storage at the Harbor.
So, please bring whatever you need to stay comfortable and have a fantastic time, within reason, of course. You’re good to go as long as it’s safe, legal, and fits in the vehicle! Just give us a heads-up about any larger items or special gear so we can plan space accordingly.
Please note: Alcohol and tobacco are not permitted in the vehicle or at certain stops, including public beach parks, trails, and select private properties.
But here are a few things you might want to pack:
Every tour is unique, your itinerary, group size, and destinations all play a part. So we put together a guide for visiting Pearl Harbor to help you plan.
You agree to a few crucial things when booking with us. But we’re not into fine print or last-minute surprises (unless they’re fun), so we like to keep things clear and upfront from the start.
Here are a few key details to know before you hit the road:
