Pearl Harbor Tora Tora - Tour 41A

Tour Description

This is the ultimate Pearl Harbor tour and World War II experience. We will take you back to Sunday December 7, 1941 when the Imperial Japanese Navy launched an astonishing assault on the US Pacific fleet in its moorings at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

On your way to Pearl Harbor our WWII expert guide will explain in detail the events which led up to the attack. Once you arrive at the Arizona Memorial you’ll embark on an experience of drama and devastation which is now known as “a date that will live in infamy”.

Your Pearl Harbor experience begins with a brief film showing actual footage of the attack. After the film, board a Navy shuttle boat and be taken to the site of the USS Arizona, which is an attractive commemorative monument resting above the actual battleship which can be seen through the clear water of the Pacific Ocean. As you peer from above see the “Black Tears of the Arizona” which still ooze out of the ship wreckage, mourning all of those who were lost that dreadful day.

Then its off to the USS Bowfin Submarine. Take a walk through this submarine's narrow quarters and explore its upper decks as well.  

Next stop on your Pearl Harbor tour is the awesome USS Missouri where you will have an in-depth tour of the famous battleship and get to see the actual spot where the Japanese signed to unconditional surrender. Your next Pearl Harbor location will be the Pacific Aviation Museum which is home to an amazing display of authentic World War II aircraft, including the infamous Japanese “Zero”.
 
Following your memorable experience of the Arizona Memorial and Pearl Harbor, we will take you on an air tour guaranteed to remain in your memory forever. Your flight will actually trace the path the Japanese Zero aircrafts took on their way to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The 30 minute scenic air tour will fly west out of Honolulu airport headed for the pristine Waianae coast and over the expansive Eva plains dotted with pineapple fields and in the foothills of the prominent Waianae mountain range. After soaring over the mountains you’ll fly the exact same path, through the infamous Kolekole valley, as the Japanese Zeros’ flew. Each Japanese aircraft was headed toward a clever pre-emptive strike which was condemned by the world as one of the greatest acts of treachery in modern history. Feel what it must have been like to fly toward destiny!
