USS Arizona Memorial
The USS Arizona Memorial is a white, open-air structure that spans the remains of the sunken battleship. It's a solemn and quiet place, designed to allow visitors to reflect on the sacrifices made by the sailors and Marines who were lost during the attack Viewing the Wreckage: Inside the memorial you can look down into the water to see parts of the sunken battleship. The ship's outline is visible just below the surface, and oil droplets, often referred to as "The Tears of the Arizona," can still be seen rising to the surface Remembrance Wall: At the far end of the memorial is a wall inscribed with the names of the 1,177 crew members who lost their lives aboard the USS Arizona. This wall serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war

4.00The driver was amazing!! Coordination of rides led to a delay in getting in to our reservation on time. We had to rebook, which wasn’t a problem, however, there was not enough time to adequately see all the attractions available.
Thought-provoking tour

5.00If you’re looking for a “fun” trip, this isn’t it. The battleship memorials were solemn and extremely powerful. As that oil bubbled up and spread, it was just so…wrenching. Jorge, our tour driver/guide was so knowledgeable as he shared some of the history of Hawaii. But that’s just another powerful and solemn story.

Fantastic tour at Pearl Harbor and Honolulu

5.00My wife and I were staying on Maui for our 35th wedding anniversary. A full day trip to Oahu for this tour was terrific!! Visiting the Pearl Harbor memorial at the site of the USS Arizona was a sobering experience but very well done. We got to see the raising of the American flag and listen to the National Anthem in the morning. Beautiful surroundings. We then visited the Missouri and toured the battleship. Wow - so impressive! We also paid for the Pacific Fleet Museum and a tour of the Bowfin submarine. Definitely worth the time and cost for this extra! Amazing how our sailors lived on those vessels! Our tour guide / driver then took us around Honolulu and ultimately dropped us off in plenty of time for our return flight, and Anthony did a fantastic job of telling us about history of the island and the culture and sights around Honolulu. Can’t say enough about the level of communication with Anthony the day before and the day of our tour to coordinate schedules and pick up times and locations. The tour went seamlessly! So easy and comfortable. Loved this tour and we would definitely take another one with Aloha Sunshine Tours when we come back to the islands! Thanks for making this tour so memorable for us!
