Pearl Harbor, USS Arizona & Downtown Honolulu Tour

Overview

The DanielsHawaii Pearl Harbor downtown Honolulu tour is a 6-hour van outing from Waikiki with about 3 self-guided hours at Pearl Harbor and a 30-minute guided downtown drive. It suits first-time visitors who want transport handled for $79. The biggest drawback is that the USS Arizona Memorial boat ride is not guaranteed or refundable.
