Journey Through History and Heritage: Explore Pearl Harbor and Historic Downtown Honolulu
Embark on a powerful and immersive journey through history with a visit to Pearl Harbor and the surrounding historic sites. Your experience begins at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, the heart of this storied location, where engaging exhibits and multimedia displays bring to life the events leading up to and following the December 7, 1941, attack. Take a solemn boat ride to the USS Arizona Memorial, where you’ll honor the 1,177 sailors who perished, standing above the remains of the sunken battleship in quiet reflection.
Continue your journey aboard the iconic USS Missouri, famously known as the “Mighty Mo,” where World War II officially came to an end with the signing of Japan’s surrender. Walk the storied decks and explore exhibits that span the battleship’s remarkable service history, from the final days of WWII to its role in the Gulf War. At the USS Oklahoma Memorial, pay tribute to the 429 crew members who tragically lost their lives when the ship capsized, with each white marble column symbolizing a life lost.
For a hands-on experience, dive into the world of submarine warfare at the Bowfin Submarine Museum, where you can board the “Pearl Harbor Avenger” itself and discover the fascinating history of underwater combat. Next, explore the Pacific Fleet Aviation Museum, featuring a captivating collection of aircraft, memorabilia, and stories that reveal the dramatic role of aviation in the Pacific during WWII.
The experience extends beyond Pearl Harbor with a scenic drive-by tour of Honolulu’s historic sites. Marvel at the solemn beauty of the Punchbowl National Cemetery, where American service members are laid to rest. Gaze at Iolani Palace, the only royal residence in the United States, and pass by the iconic King Kamehameha Statue, which commemorates the legendary king who unified the Hawaiian Islands. Capture the timeless charm of Kawaiaha’o Church, one of Oahu’s oldest places of worship, and the historic Ali’iolani Hale, home to the Hawaii State Supreme Court and the famed statue of King Kamehameha.
