Intimate WWII: Honor our Heroes and Historic Honolulu Tour With Lunch

The iconic Arizona Memorial l was built in honor of those who lost their lives aboard the USS Arizona during the attack on Pearl Harbor that fateful day, December 7, 1941. Designed in a unique way to honor those who have fallen, the Arizona Memorial is built over the sunken battleship which remains as the final resting place for 1,177 crewmen. Pay respects to those who have fallen in the shrine room where you can see the names of all those who have fallen during the attack.

Known as the “Mighty Mo” the USS Missouri Battleship is a giant ship that was once a true war machine during her prime but now rests quietly at Pearl Harbor. Sitting at over 58,000 tons and coming in at just under 900 feet from bow to stern, the Mighty Mo is a site not to be missed. Not only will you get a guided tour aboard this giant but you’ll get to trace the historical footsteps of General Douglas MacArthur when he signed the treaty to end WWII.
