Description
In this ultimate Pearl Harbor and Oahu adventure you will
not only get an in depth land tour or Pearl Harbor, you will
also see it from the air just as the Japanese may have on
the “day of infamy” in 1941. As you head out to visit the
Arizona Memorial your land portion of the Pearl Harbor
Explorer Tour will be guided by a WWII expert who will
deliver a stirring historical narration on the attack.
The USS Arizona Memorial is a solemn site that rests above
the sunken battleship below. Experience the attack first
hand as you view the official Pearl Harbor film which
contains actual footage taken of the attack. Then, board the
Navy Shuttle to see the “Black Tears of the Arizona”, as you
remember the 1,177 men still entombed in the Arizona
Battleship.
Next it’s on to the world’s most impressive war vessel, the
USS Missouri battleship affectionately known as the “Mighty
Mo”. You will discover a piece of history as you tour the
Battleship’s decks; witnessing the ship’s massive guns and
the deck on which the Japanese surrendered to the US Naval
forces.
Your Pacific Aviation museum experience begins in Hanger 37,
a 42,000 square foot former seaplane hangar that survived
the December 7, 1941 attack. You will view a 10-minute movie
covering the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, including
historic footage. Next enter a 25,000 square foot exhibition
area and observe authentic Japanese war planes including the
infamous “zero” aircraft. Many of the exhibits relate real
life stories of the attack both before and after will leave
you spellbound.
The helicopter air portion of your Pearl Harbor Explorer
tour will begin with a beautiful view of serene Keehi Lagoon
as you fly out of Honolulu Airport toward Historic Pearl
Harbor. Once over the US Naval Station Pearl Harbor you will
be able to look down at the Arizona Memorial, the USS
Missouri Battleship and various other Trident Class
submarines, aircraft carriers and battleships. (Variety
depends on US Navy docking periods and harbor operation
schedule).
Your flight continues over Honolulu Harbor where you will
see Aloha Tower, once the tallest structure on the island,
as well cruise ships from distant ports. Next is downtown
Honolulu, featuring the only royal palace U.S. soil. Above
the city lies Punchbowl crater, home to the National
Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. The tour carries on above
Ala Moana Beach Park, and follows the Ala Wai canal all the
way to famous Waikiki Beach.
Just past Waikiki is the Diamond Head Crater where you will
enjoy a impressive perspective of this iconic landmark. Your
aerial tour continues above the rugged and picturesque south
shore Oahu coast where you will fly over Hanauma Bay,
Makapuu Point and Sea Life Park before turning inland and
over the stunning Nuuanu Pali mountain range and Mount
Olomana on your return to the heliport.
