Maui to Oahu - Pearl Harbor, Arizona Memorial & USS Missouri
Fly over to Oahu and visit one of the most significant sites in America – Pearl Harbor. It was here that on December 7, 1941, the United States experienced an attack from the Imperial forces of Japan and was subsequently drawn into World War II.
With convenient departures from Kahului Airport on Maui, this tour offers the most far-reaching daytrip to Pearl Harbor. You’ll get to see the Arizona Memorial, a platform that was built right on top of the sunken USS Arizona battleship, and the USS Missouri battleship, which hosted the events that concluded the war. You’ll have plenty of time to visit all the notable locations and the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center.
After your Pearl Harbor tour, your Oahu day excursion continues in downtown Honolulu. View the tranquil Punchbowl National Cemetery of the Pacific with its painstakingly landscaped acres, which includes the courts of the missing, the chapel and meticulous mosaic maps of the Pacific theaters of action in World War II and Korea.
Finishing the tour will be a drive through the historic district of Honolulu, which includes sights of Kawaiahao Church, the Hawaii State Library and Archives, the statue of King Kamehameha, Iolani Palace and the quaint Mission Houses.
