9 City Tours in Oahu Worth Booking

1.Pearl Harbor, USS Arizona Memorial & Honolulu City Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,866 reviews · 5 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $94Our pick

Ride an air-conditioned coach from selected Honolulu hotels to Pearl Harbor and downtown Honolulu. You’ll visit the USS Arizona Memorial area, see Iolani Palace and King Kamehameha’s statue, and hear island history from guides such as Patrick, Kimo, Kilani, and Lola. Deluxe and Ultimate upgrades add the Missouri and Aviation Museum.

“I was disappointed to not get tickets to the Arizona memorial with the trip as the advertising is very misleading. The trip needs to be clearer about having to get your tickets before you arrive or you are in the standby line. We did manage to get to see everything we wanted and it was a full day, we arrived at 9, went on the standby list at 9:15am and got on the 11:30am boat. We managed to see everything but the bowfin sub and came back to that after the Missouri and aircraft museum. We did rush through the aircraft hanger so if you want to take more time…”

2.Pearl Harbor City Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,254 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $69

Spend about five hours with E Noa Tours, starting with historic Honolulu and continuing to Pearl Harbor. Your guide, possibly Oli, RJ, Juicy, Kimo, or another local driver, explains Hawaii’s monarchy and the attack on Pearl Harbor. Pickup is offered from central Waikiki locations, but the USS Arizona boat ride is not always guaranteed.

“Juicy the driver kept us entertained and informed. We were first pickup at the Aloha tower so enjoyed a 45 minute tour of Honolulu and Waikiki beach as he filled up his double decker bus. The trip round the historic area was interesting but Pearl Harbour was as poignant as you would expect. The exhibitions taught this history buff a whole lot of stuff we in the UK are never told about the USA/Japan dynamic in the 1920/30s. Amazing.”

“We visited via a tour. It was a little rushed but in the time we had there we managed a walk through the museums, a trip out to the USS Arizona and the 26 minute movie about that fateful day. We throughly enjoyed ourselves and totally recommend the tour. After the visit to Pearl Harbour we got to see the war graves and given so very good information along the way. We also had time to have a short stop at the statue of one of their Kings. All in all apart from the 20 minute delay at the start that made the Pearl Harbour visit a little rushed we…”

Start with hotel pickup at about 6:30 a.m. for the USS Arizona Memorial, Pearl Harbor sites, and a short Honolulu history tour. Michael and other Nui Tours guides bring the city to life, but the advertised Missouri and Aviation Museum visits may not fit the actual schedule.

“It was a good tour, but we booked this tour because it was a 6 hour tour so we could go to the Arizona, Bowfin, Missouri and the museum plus the city tour. We only had a 4 hour tour and never made it to the Missouri. Really disappointed with loosing 2 hours of our tour.”
