Pearl Harbor, the site of the infamous attacks by Japanese military in 1941, is a large US naval base located in Oahu. Just thirty minutes from Ko Olina, visitors typically begin at the Pearl Harbor Visitor’s Center before taking a guided tour or solo visit to the USS Arizona Memorial, USS Bowfin Submarine, USS Missouri Battleship, and Pacific Aviation Museum. The somber memorials stand as a testament to the 2400 American troops killed and 1200 wounded.
Ferries to the USS Arizona leave regularly from 8 am to 3 pm daily. Tickets are limited, so check out www.pearlharboroahu.com if you’re interested in making a reservation. Guided tours generally range in price from $69.99 to $119.99 per person.
