This tour option is specifically reserved for guests who use wheelchairs. Please note that there are only two wheelchair-accessible spots available on the bus. If you are not confined to a wheelchair but are accompanying someone who is, please book the companion option, Pearl Harbor & Historic Sights (Companion Ticket). You will be seated on the same bus as your companion to ensure you can enjoy the experience together.
Upon arrival you can proceed to Aloha court immediately upon entering, where you can receive information about planning your visit. There are two Exhibit Galleries: "Road to War" and "Attack". Immerse yourself in the history as you explore these two galleries. These two galleries vividly depict the events leading up to the attack on Oahu and its aftermath. Discover personal memorabilia, dramatic photographs, and authentic battle artifacts. Kiosks allow you to hear firsthand accounts from those who witnessed this pivotal moment. You may also visit the Pearl Harbor Memorial Theater located across from the exhibit galleries. Here, you can watch a 23-minute film about the December 7, 1941, attack. Showings begin every 15 and 45 minutes past the hour. You can also view the Interpretive Wayside Exhibits. Throughout the facility, you’ll find interpretive wayside exhibits. These thought-provoking displays invite visitors to imagine the experience of that tragic day. By superimposing descriptive images of Pearl Harbor as it was in 1941 over the bustling port as it appears today, these exhibits bridge the past and the present.
After your self-guided visit of Pearl Harbor is complete, you’ll proceed on a tour of metropolitan Honolulu. Highlights include Iolani Palace, The sole royal palace on American soil, rich in Hawaiian history. Kawaiahao Church, A historic landmark with captivating architecture. King Kamehameha Statue, to Pay homage to the legendary Hawaiian king who united the islands. The Hawaii State Capitol, the Governor’s Mansion, and Quaint Missionary Homes.
To conclude your day, drive through metropolitan Honolulu, take a moment to experience the serenity of the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. This cemetery, informally known as Punchbowl Cemetery, is located at Punchbowl Crater in Honolulu, Hawaii. It serves as a poignant memorial to honor both men and women who courageously served in the United States Armed Forces, as well as those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
