Duration: Half day, departing 9:00am or 11:00am
Island: Oahu
Best for: Adults & children wanting both the war history and the kingdom era
Booking: instant confirmation, runs daily.

WHAT MAKES THIS A HAWAIIAN KINGDOM HISTORY TOUR?
Because it does not stop at 1941. Most Pearl Harbor tours treat Honolulu as a photo stop on the drive home. This one gives the kingdom era its own weight, taking in the King Kamehameha statue downtown and Punchbowl National Cemetery alongside the memorial sites.
The Pearl Harbor half covers the Visitor Center, the USS Arizona Memorial above the sunken ship, and the Battleship Missouri where the surrender was signed. Punchbowl, the crater the Hawaiians called Pūowaina, the hill of sacrifice, holds more than thirty thousand graves and was a place of consequence long before it became a national cemetery. That layering is the point of the itinerary. Pearl Harbor itself was Puʻuloa, and the moʻolelo of both places runs back well beyond the war. The ʻōlelo noʻeau says it directly: “He aliʻi ka ʻāina, he kauwā ke kanaka,” the land is chief, the people its servants.

WHO IT IS FOR
Visitors who want both halves of Oahu history in one morning rather than choosing between them, at a lower price than the full-day options. The half-day format leaves the afternoon free, which suits travelers on a tight schedule and families with younger keiki who would not last a nine-hour day. Kamaʻāina taking visiting relatives around tend to book it for Punchbowl, which most Pearl Harbor tours leave out.

QUICK ANSWER
Pearl Harbor, All Museums, ʻIolani Palace and Honolulu Private Tour: A six-hour private tour combining every Pearl Harbor museum and a guaranteed USS Arizona Memorial boat ticket with a downtown Honolulu circuit taking in ʻIolani Palace. Guided in German or English.
Price: quoted per private group on request.
Duration: about 6 hours
Island: Oahu
Group size: private, your party only
Booking: confirm the guide language when you book.

WHAT SEPARATES THIS FROM A STANDARD PEARL HARBOR TOUR
Two things. First, the boat ticket to the USS Arizona Memorial is guaranteed rather than left to the standby queue, and admission to all of the Pearl Harbor museums is included. Second, the day does not stop at the harbour. The return runs through downtown Honolulu and ʻIolani Palace, which turns a war-history morning into something closer to a full account of how Hawaiʻi arrived at 1941.

This listing is operated with German-language guiding available, which is unusual at Pearl Harbor. Visitors from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland normally choose between an English group coach or paying for a private interpreter. Confirm your preferred guide language at the time of booking.

ʻIolani Palace is the reason the second half matters. It is the only royal palace on United States soil, built for King Kalākaua in 1882, and the place where Queen Liliʻuokalani was held after the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893. Hawaiians knew Pearl Harbor as Puʻuloa, and the two sites together tell one continuous story rather than two separate ones. Ua mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono, the life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness, is the ʻōlelo that still stands over the islands.

WHAT THE DAY COVERS
– Pearl Harbor Visitor Center with guided introduction
– USS Arizona Memorial, with the boat ticket guaranteed
– Admission to the Pearl Harbor museums
– Downtown Honolulu circuit
– ʻIolani Palace, the only royal palace in the United States

PRICING AND PRACTICALITIES
This is a private tour quoted per group rather than sold per seat, so pricing depends on party size and pickup point. An audio guide is recommended at the Pearl Harbor museums and is not included in the tour price. Verified against FareHarbor, August 2026. Request a current quote when you book.

WHO IT IS FOR
German-speaking visitors who want Pearl Harbor explained properly in their own language, and anyone who would rather see the harbour and the royal history in one day than split them across two. Six hours is long enough to be thorough and short enough to leave the afternoon free, which suits travellers on a tight Oʻahu itinerary.

QUICK ANSWER
Arizona Memorial and Historic Honolulu City Tour: A five to six hour Oahu morning covering the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, the Navy boat crossing to the USS Arizona Memorial, and a guided circuit of historic downtown Honolulu.
Price: $69.99 adult (12+) · $64.99 child (3 to 11) · infants under 3 free.
Duration: 5 to 6 hours, pickup 6am to 7am from the Waikiki area
Island: Oahu
Best for: First-time visitors who want the memorial and the city in one morning
Booking: instant confirmation.

IS THIS THE BEST VALUE PEARL HARBOR TOUR FROM WAIKIKI?
For a guided visit that includes the USS Arizona Memorial and a downtown circuit, it is among the cheapest on Oahu. Under seventy dollars covers transport from the Waikiki area, the Visitor Center, the Navy boat out to the memorial, and a narrated run through historic Honolulu. The trade is an early start, with pickup between 6am and 7am, which is what secures the morning memorial slots before the queues build.

The Visitor Center comes first, with exhibits and a documentary laying out how December 7, 1941 arrived. Then the Navy boat crosses to the memorial itself, which sits directly above the sunken hull. The outline of the ship is visible just under the surface, and oil still rises from the wreck in slow droplets that visitors call the tears of the Arizona. At the far end, a marble wall carries the names of the 1,177 sailors and Marines still aboard.

The city half is the part people do not expect to like as much as they do. Hawaiians called the harbour Puʻuloa, and downtown Honolulu holds the story of what was here before the fleet: ʻIolani Palace, the King Kamehameha statue, and the civic core of a kingdom that predates the naval base by centuries. Ua ola loko i ke aloha, love gives life within, is the ʻōlelo noʻeau that visitors tend to carry out of the memorial.

PRICING
$69.99 adult (12+) · $64.99 child (3 to 11). Infants under 3 travel free. Verified against FareHarbor, August 2026. Confirm current rates at booking.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
– Pickup runs 6am to 7am from the Waikiki area, so plan an early night
– A government-issued photo ID is required for every guest
– Bags are not permitted at the Visitor Center; bring only what pockets hold
– The memorial is open-air, so bring sun protection
– Navy boat operations can be suspended for weather or operations

WHO IT IS FOR
First-time Oahu visitors who want Pearl Harbor covered properly without giving up a whole day, and travellers on a budget who still want a guide rather than a self-drive. Five to six hours puts you back in Waikiki by early afternoon with the rest of the day free, which makes it easy to fit into a short stay. All ages are welcome, though the early pickup asks something of small keiki.

QUICK ANSWER
Oahu Pearl Harbor Long Day, 12 Hours: A private twelve-hour Pearl Harbor tour built around choosing your own attractions rather than following a fixed route. Long enough for three substantial stops at an unhurried pace, plus time for more of Oʻahu.
Price: $899 for 1 to 4 guests · $1,299 for 5 to 7 · $1,599 for 8 to 10 · $1,899 for 11 to 14. Priced per group.
Duration: 12 hours, morning departure
Island: Oahu
Group size: up to 14 guests
Booking: instant confirmation.

WHY TWELVE HOURS AT PEARL HARBOR?
Because the site is bigger than most itineraries admit. The Visitor Center, the USS Arizona Memorial, the Battleship Missouri, the USS Bowfin, and the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum each reward roughly ninety minutes, and a standard half-day tour gives you two of them at a jog. Twelve hours lets you take three properly and still have the afternoon for the rest of the island.

The format is the point: this is an a la carte private day, so you choose which memorials, museums, and landmarks to include and in what order. There is no coach schedule pulling you away from an exhibit. A sunrise to sunset run is the fullest use of it, though a later start is entirely your call.

Pricing scales by group rather than per head, which changes the arithmetic sharply. At $899 for up to four people it lands near $225 each; at $1,899 for fourteen it is closer to $136 each, less than many group coach seats for a fraction of the rigidity.

Hawaiians called the harbour Puʻuloa, prized for its pearl oysters long before it was a naval base, and its moʻolelo did not begin in 1941. A twelve-hour day is one of the few formats with room to hear that longer story. ʻAʻohe hua o ka maiʻa i ka lā hoʻokahi, no banana bears fruit in a single day, which is the case for not rushing a place like this.

HOW TO SPEND THE DAY
A workable shape, though the whole point is that you set it:
– Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and the documentary on the attack
– USS Arizona Memorial, reached by Navy boat
– Battleship Missouri on Ford Island, where the war formally ended
– USS Bowfin submarine and the Pacific Fleet Submarine Memorial
– Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum in its WWII-era hangars
– Time remaining for Punchbowl, downtown Honolulu, or elsewhere on Oʻahu

PRICING
$899 for 1 to 4 guests, $1,299 for 5 to 7, $1,599 for 8 to 10, and $1,899 for 11 to 14. Admission to individual attractions is arranged a la carte, so confirm which tickets are included when you book. Verified against FareHarbor, August 2026.

WHO IT IS FOR
Groups and families with a genuine interest in the WWII record who have been on a rushed coach tour before and did not enjoy it. Also worth it for larger parties, where the per-person cost drops below group-tour pricing. Twelve hours is a long day, so weigh it carefully if you are travelling with small keiki.

QUICK ANSWER
Pearl Harbor and City Tour, Private Small Group: A six to seven hour private tour running 7:30am to 1:30pm, pairing Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial with a Honolulu city circuit, and a stop at Leonard’s Bakery for malasadas on the way.
Price: $595 for 1 to 3 guests · $750 for 4 to 7 · $1,250 for 8 to 12. Priced per group.
Duration: 6 to 7 hours, 7:30am to 1:30pm
Island: Oahu
Group size: maximum 11 guests, all ages welcome
Booking: instant confirmation, 24-hour cancellation.

WHY THIS ONE SUITS FAMILIES
The pacing and the malasadas, mostly. Six to seven hours is long enough to do Pearl Harbor properly without the endurance test of a full day, and the route breaks up the heavier material with a city circuit and a bakery stop. Everyone in the group gets a free malasada each from Leonard’s, the Honolulu institution that has been turning out hot sugared Portuguese doughnuts since 1952. It is a small thing that makes a long morning workable for younger keiki.

The group cap is 11, and pricing is per party rather than per head, so a family of four pays $750 regardless of how the seats fill. There is no minimum age.

WHAT THE MORNING COVERS
– Pearl Harbor Visitor Center grounds
– USS Arizona Memorial, with a digital ticket reserved for you subject to availability
– The documentary film on the attack of December 7, 1941
– Leonard’s Bakery for malasadas, one free per guest
– Punchbowl Crater, the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific
– ʻIolani Palace, the only royal palace on United States soil
– The King Kamehameha I statue

Hawaiians named that crater Puowaina, the hill of sacrifice, centuries before it held a single grave, and the harbour they called Puʻuloa. Your guide covers both stories, the Hawaiian one and the American one, which is what separates a city circuit from a bus window. He lei poina ʻole ke keiki, a child is a lei never forgotten, and this is a tour built with them in mind.

ONE THING TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE MEMORIAL
Guides are not permitted to escort guests onto the USS Arizona Memorial itself. That restriction applies to every commercial operator, not just this one. Your guide covers the grounds and the history, then you take the Navy boat out to the memorial independently and rejoin afterwards.

PRICING
$595 for 1 to 3 guests, $750 for 4 to 7, and $1,250 for 8 to 12. Photos taken during the tour are included. Verified against FareHarbor, August 2026. Confirm current rates at booking.

WHO IT IS FOR
Families and small groups who want Pearl Harbor and a first proper look at Honolulu in one morning, and who would rather be back by early afternoon than out until evening. It works as an orientation day early in a stay, since the city circuit maps out landmarks you can return to later at leisure.

QUICK ANSWER
Pearl Harbor and Honolulu City Tour: A five-hour narrated tour combining a full Pearl Harbor Visitor Center visit, the Navy boat ride and a visit aboard the USS Arizona Memorial, with a drive through historic downtown Honolulu, Chinatown, and Punchbowl.
Price: $68 adult (13+) · $45 child (3 to 12).
Duration: 5 hours
Island: Oahu
Minimum age: 3
Booking: instant confirmation.

WHY THIS IS THE VOLUME SELLER
Price against coverage. Sixty-eight dollars buys round-trip transport, the Visitor Center, the 23-minute documentary, the Navy shuttle boat, a visit aboard the USS Arizona Memorial, and a narrated circuit of the civic and royal landmarks of Honolulu. Very little on Oʻahu reaches the memorial and the city for that money, which is why it moves the volume it does.

The boat matters. Plenty of cheaper Pearl Harbor options put you on the Visitor Center grounds and no further. This one includes the official US Navy shuttle out to the memorial itself, standing above the sunken hull where the attack began for the United States.

WHAT THE FIVE HOURS COVER
At Pearl Harbor: the Visitor Center and the WWII Valor in the Pacific National Monument, both USS Arizona Memorial museums, the documentary on the attack, the narrated Navy boat ride, a visit aboard the memorial, and a view across to the Battleship Missouri.

In Honolulu: a photo stop at the King Kamehameha statue, and drive-by coverage of ʻIolani Palace, the Hawaiʻi State Capitol with its Father Damien statue, the Mission Houses Museum, Kawaiahaʻo Church, Chinatown, and the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Punchbowl Crater.

The city half rewards attention. Kawaiahaʻo Church was raised from something like fourteen thousand coral blocks cut by hand from the reef, and its name means the water of Haʻo, after a spring that fed an aliʻi chiefess. Punchbowl the Hawaiians called Puowaina, the hill of sacrifice, long before it became a war cemetery. Hoʻokahi nō lā o ka malihini, a stranger only for a day, which is what a good orientation tour is for.

PRICING
$68 adult aged 13 and over, $45 child aged 3 to 12. Minimum age 3. Verified against FareHarbor, August 2026. Confirm current rates at booking.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
– A government-issued photo ID is required
– Bags are not permitted at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center
– The memorial is open-air, so bring sun protection
– Navy boat operations can be suspended for weather or operations
– Downtown stops are largely drive-by, with a photo stop at the Kamehameha statue

WHO IT IS FOR
First-time visitors who want Pearl Harbor and a working orientation to Honolulu in one affordable half day, and anyone whose budget rules out the private and inter-island options. If you want to board the Battleship Missouri or the USS Bowfin, you need a longer tour; this one views the Missouri from the Arizona side of the water.

QUICK ANSWER
Pearl Harbor and Oahu Royal Cultural Private Tour: A five-hour chauffeured private tour for up to six guests, pairing the USS Arizona Memorial with the royal heart of Honolulu. USS Arizona admission tickets and the Navy boat ride are included.
Price: $899 per private tour, up to 6 passengers.
Duration: 5 hours
Island: Oahu
Pickup: Waikiki, Honolulu and Ko Olina hotels, Aulani, the airport, or a cruise ship
Booking: instant confirmation.

HOW THIS DIFFERS FROM THE OTHER TWO LIMOUSINE TOURS
We list three from this operator, and the difference is what fills the non-memorial half of the day. This one goes royal: photo stops through historic Honolulu at the King Kamehameha statue, ʻIolani Palace, and Kawaiahaʻo Church, the coral-block church often called the Church of the Coral. The four-hour Reverence tour concentrates almost entirely on the Arizona. The five to six hour Pacific Historic Parks tour instead offers a paid option to board the USS Missouri or the USS Bowfin.

So the question is simple: royal Honolulu, a shorter memorial-focused visit, or more warships. This is the one for visitors who want to understand the kingdom that stood here before the naval base.

WHAT THE FIVE HOURS COVER
1. Chauffeured pickup from your hotel, the airport, or your cruise ship
2. Guided drive through royal historic Honolulu with photo stops at the King Kamehameha statue, ʻIolani Palace, and Kawaiahaʻo Church
3. Transfer to Pearl Harbor with a full briefing on meeting points and procedure
4. Close-up view of the USS Bowfin submarine and its memorial
5. Guide presentation at the USS Arizona Memorial area
6. Navy boat ride and a visit aboard the USS Arizona Memorial, tickets included
7. Chauffeured return to your drop-off point

WHY THE ROYAL HALF IS WORTH THE TIME
ʻIolani Palace is the only royal palace on United States soil, built for King Kalākaua in 1882 and later the place where Queen Liliʻuokalani was held after the overthrow of 1893. Kawaiahaʻo Church was raised from roughly fourteen thousand coral blocks cut by hand from the reef, and it was there in 1843 that Kamehameha III spoke the words that became the motto of these islands: Ua mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono, the life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness. Standing at both sites and then at Puʻuloa, the harbour Hawaiians named long before the fleet, gives you one continuous story rather than two disconnected ones.

ONE PRACTICAL LIMIT
Your guide cannot accompany you onto the USS Arizona Memorial itself. That restriction applies to all commercial operators. The guide briefs you fully beforehand, you take the Navy boat out, and you rejoin afterwards.

PRICING
$899 per private tour covering up to six passengers, charged per vehicle rather than per person. Bottled water and a wet bar on ice with non-alcoholic Hawaiian beverages and snacks are included. Guiding is in English. Verified against FareHarbor, August 2026.

WHO IT IS FOR
Visitors who find a memorial-only day incomplete and want the Hawaiian kingdom in the same five hours, and groups of four to six for whom one private fare beats six coach seats. The Aulani and Ko Olina pickups make it one of the few Pearl Harbor tours that genuinely serves the west side without a supplement.

QUICK ANSWER
Pearl Harbor and Honolulu City Tour: A 5-hour guided tour with Waikiki hotel pick-up, combining the USS Arizona Memorial with a Honolulu Historic Highlights drive through the civic and royal heart of the city.
Price: $69 adult (13+) · $45 child (4 to 12) · children 3 and under free.
Duration: 5 hours
Island: Oahu
Best for: Adults & children
Booking: instant confirmation, free cancellation.

WHAT IS THE BEST PEARL HARBOR AND HONOLULU CITY TOUR?
This one gives roughly equal weight to both halves. The Pearl Harbor visit covers the documentary film, the ferry crossing, and the memorial itself. The city portion then works through downtown Honolulu properly rather than pointing at one statue and driving on.
That second half is what separates it from a memorial-only tour. The route takes in the Hawaii State Capitol, whose conical chambers echo the volcanoes that built the islands and whose reflecting pool stands in for the Pacific around them, then Kawaiahaʻo Church, built from roughly fourteen thousand hand-cut coral slabs and long the church of the aliʻi. ʻIolani Palace is viewed from the King Kamehameha statue across the street. Pearl Harbor itself was Puʻuloa to Hawaiians for centuries before 1941, and the moʻolelo of the harbor runs far deeper than one morning. As the ʻōlelo noʻeau puts it, “Nānā i ke kumu,” look to the source.

PRICING
$69 adult (13+) · $45 child (4 to 12). Children 3 and under free. Lockers at Pearl Harbor cost $5. Verified against FareHarbor, August 2026. Confirm current rates at booking.

WHAT IS INCLUDED
– Round-trip hotel transportation from Waikiki or Honolulu
– Tickets for the USS Arizona Memorial boat ride
– Guided Honolulu Historic Highlights city tour
– Pearl Harbor Visitor Center access

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
– Pick-up from Waikiki and Honolulu hotels only; contact the operator for other areas
– Arrive at your pick-up point 10 minutes early, since drivers wait only 5 minutes
– No bags of any kind at Pearl Harbor; on-site lockers are $5 and the lines are long
– Personal expenses and gratuity are not included
– Cancellation: full refund on direct bookings cancelled at least 48 hours ahead

WHO IT IS FOR
Adults and keiki who want the memorial and the city in one trip instead of two. The pace is gentle: most of the day is spent seated, with short walks between stops. Rated by 3,099 TripAdvisor reviewers. Guests staying outside Waikiki or Honolulu should contact the operator before booking, since pick-up is limited to those areas.

QUICK ANSWER
Pearl Harbor Tour from Waikiki: A 5-hour guided tour from Waikiki covering the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, a boat crossing to the USS Arizona Memorial, and the royal landmarks of downtown Honolulu.
Price: $69 adult · $39 child (ages 3 to 11) · lap children 2 and under free.
Duration: Around 5 hours
Island: Oahu
Best for: Adults & children
Booking: instant confirmation.

WHAT IS THE BEST PEARL HARBOR TOUR FROM WAIKIKI?
This 5-hour tour pairs the Pearl Harbor National Memorial with downtown Honolulu in one afternoon, so you see both the 1941 site and the royal history that came before it without renting a car.
Hawaiians called this harbor Puʻuloa long before the Navy arrived, and the moʻolelo of the place runs deeper than a single December morning. The tour leans into that. After the Visitor Center exhibits and the boat crossing to the USS Arizona Memorial, the route continues into downtown Honolulu, where ʻIolani Palace still stands as the only royal residence on American soil and the King Kamehameha statue faces it from Aliʻiōlani Hale. There is an ʻōlelo noʻeau that suits the day: “I ka wā ma mua, ka wā ma hope,” the future is in the past.

PRICING
$69 adult · $39 child (ages 3 to 11). Lap children 2 and under ride free. Verified against FareHarbor, August 2026. Confirm current rates at booking.

WHAT IS INCLUDED
– Round-trip Waikiki hotel transportation
– Pearl Harbor Visitor Center admission
– Boat crossing to the USS Arizona Memorial
– Guided downtown Honolulu sightseeing
– Expert guide throughout the day

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
– Pick-ups start at 11:00am; arrive at your point 10 minutes early
– Bags are not allowed at Pearl Harbor; on-site storage is $8.00 per item
– Meals, beverages, and gratuities are not included
– Swimwear, heels, dresses, and skirts are not recommended
– Cancellation: full refund with at least 24 hours notice before the start time

WHO IT IS FOR
Adults and keiki alike, and especially first-time visitors who want context rather than a photo stop. Most of the day is spent seated on the coach or walking short distances between exhibits, which suits families and older travelers. Kamaʻāina and returning visitors tend to book it for the downtown Honolulu half, which many Pearl Harbor tours skip. Guests who need a wheelchair or other assistance should say so at booking.

QUICK ANSWER
Small Group Pearl Harbor Tour: A 5 to 6 hour semi-private tour capped at 14 guests, with guided transfer to Pearl Harbor National Park, roughly three hours of self-guided time there, and a complimentary downtown Honolulu city tour on the way back.
Price: $129 per person. Additional seating space upgrade $75.
Duration: 5 to 6 hours
Island: Oahu
Best for: Independent travelers and small groups
Booking: instant confirmation, free cancellation up to 24 hours.

WHY BOOK A SMALL GROUP PEARL HARBOR TOUR?
Because the pacing is yours. Most Pearl Harbor coach tours march you through on a fixed clock. This one caps the group at 14, hands you roughly three hours of self-guided time at the National Park, and keeps a guide on hand to help you navigate it rather than talk over it.
That structure suits the site. You can spend the time on the Road to War museum, the harborside monuments, the 23-minute film, or the boat crossing to the USS Arizona Memorial, in whatever order the queues allow. Afterwards the guide leads a complimentary drive through downtown Honolulu: ʻIolani Palace, Aloha Tower, the King Kamehameha and Queen Liliʻuokalani statues, the Hawaii State Capitol, the Father Damien statue, and the Eternal Flame, then out through Kakaʻako. This harbor was Puʻuloa to Hawaiians long before 1941, and the moʻolelo of the place did not begin that morning. As the ʻōlelo noʻeau says, “Ma ka hana ka ʻike,” in working one learns.

PRICING
$129 per person. The additional seating space upgrade, which reserves the adjacent seat for your own comfort, is $75 and must be booked in advance. Pick-up is free from Waikiki; Honolulu pick-ups and Harbor or Airport pick-ups are $50. Verified against FareHarbor, August 2026. Confirm current rates at booking.

WHAT IS INCLUDED
– USS Arizona Memorial access, subject to National Park Service control
– About 3 hours of self-guided time at Pearl Harbor with guide assistance
– Guided downtown Honolulu city tour
– Guided transfer to and from the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center
– Small-group vehicle capped at 14 guests

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
– USS Arizona boat tickets are controlled by the National Park Service and given out first-come, first-served. If none are left you go on standby, and standby access is not refundable
– No accessibility accommodations are available on this tour
– Bags are banned inside Pearl Harbor National Park, camera bags included
– Be ready at your pick-up point on time. Missing it counts as a no-show and is not refunded
– Gratuity and the museum audio guide are not included
– Cancellation: free up to 24 hours before the start, none inside 24 hours

WHO IT IS FOR
Travelers who would rather read the exhibits at their own speed than follow a flag. The 14-guest cap keeps it semi-private, and the moderate walking suits most fitness levels, though there are no accessibility accommodations, so guests who need them should look at a private option instead. Kamaʻāina bringing visiting family tend to book it for the free city tour, which covers ground most Pearl Harbor trips skip.
