Explore all of the World War II commemorative sites located on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu through this amazing, patriotic tour package. Home to the traumatic Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor that first brought the United States into the conflict, the people of Oahu now memorialize the fallen heroes of that day through many National Parks, monuments and cemeteries. This tour includes visits to the National Park Visitor Center, the USS Arizona Memorial, the Battleship Missouri and the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific and Punchbowl Crater.

Begin with a guided tour that gives detailed accounts of the attacks and that includes actual historical footage of the dramatic events that took place on that fateful day. You will be chilled as you relive this somber event. After that, a Navy boat will take you out to the USS Arizona Memorial, which lies above the sunken wreckage of the battleship. Take time to walk about this quiet monument and look down into the water where you can see the famous “black tears of the Arizona” leaking out from the ruined ship.

You will then be able to visit another well-known US battleship, the Battleship Missouri, oftentimes referred to affectionately as the “Mighty Mo.” Stroll about the deck and check out the massive armaments equipped to this colossal, fighting vessel. An educational and informative accompanying tour will give you a good idea of what it was like to serve on board a craft like this.

Finally, end your tour at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl Crater, where you can pay final tribute to the soldiers of WWII in this awe inspiring yet tranquil natural setting. This is a day that will leave you with lasting impressions and a sense of pride in your country.
