As the summer sun mellows and the gentle trade winds of autumn begin to whisper across the Pacific, September in Hawaii offers a truly unique and meaningful travel experience. The bustling crowds of July and August have thinned, making way for a quieter, more reflective atmosphere. At Pearl Harbor Tours, we believe this is the perfect time to visit this sacred place and connect with a pivotal moment in American history.
The month of September holds a special significance in the story of the Pacific War. It marks the formal end of World War II, a solemn reminder of the peace that followed years of global conflict. This season, we invite you to experience Pearl Harbor in a way that resonates with this sense of remembrance and hope.
September Specials: Exclusive Tours & Events
We have curated a series of special tours and opportunities to help you make the most of your September visit to Oahu. Our goal is to provide a deeper, more personal connection to the history and heroes of Pearl Harbor.
- The Serenity Tour: A Morning of Reflection: Escape the midday heat and crowds with our early morning Serenity Tour. This special excursion includes a guided visit to the USS Arizona Memorial, the Battleship Missouri, and the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, all with a focus on a respectful and contemplative pace. You’ll have more time to read the inscriptions, see the artifacts, and reflect on the sacrifices made on December 7, 1941.
- The “Bookends of History” Experience: Our most popular tour, this is a must for any history enthusiast. September’s quieter pace makes this a perfect time to take the “Bookends of History” tour, which connects the beginning of the war at the USS Arizona Memorial with its end on the surrender deck of the Battleship Missouri. It’s a powerful journey that brings the entire story of the Pacific War to life.
- Honoring the End of WWII: In late August and early September, special events often take place to commemorate the anniversary of the end of World War II. Our tours are timed to coincide with these moving ceremonies, allowing you to be a part of the official commemorations and pay your respects alongside military families and dignitaries.
