OAHU · HAWAII
Oahu’s best days out.
Pearl Harbor is the visit almost every Oahu trip is built around, and it trips people up the first time. The USS Arizona Memorial itself is free, but the timed tickets go fast, and the tours below pair it with the parts that are harder to reach on your own: the Battleship Missouri, where the war ended, the submarine Bowfin, and the aviation museum out on Ford Island.
The shortest visits cover the Arizona and the visitor-center exhibits in a morning. The longer ones add the Missouri, the Punchbowl crater cemetery and a downtown Honolulu loop, with hotel pickup from Waikiki on most. Here are the most popular, with run times, prices and operators.
