Experience a deeply moving visit to the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor, a pivotal site in American history. Begin at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center with engaging exhibits and a documentary recounting the events of December 7, 1941.
Next, take a serene U.S. Navy-operated boat ride across the harbor to the solemn white structure of the USS Arizona Memorial. Stand above the sunken battleship, viewing its outline beneath the surface and the poignant “Tears of the Arizona” oil droplets rising from the wreckage.
The memorial offers a quiet space for reflection and tribute to the 1,177 sailors and Marines who lost their lives, with their names etched on a wall of remembrance.
The experience continues with a scenic drive-by tour of historic Honolulu’s notable sites, providing a broader understanding of the area’s history and culture.
