Best Pearl Harbor Guided Tours
If you’re planning on visiting Pearl Harbor, you can either do a self guided tour or hire a tour guide to show you the sights.
In this post, we’ll suggest 5 of the best Pearl Harbor guided tours.
Admiral’s Warbird Adventure
If you don’t want to just visit Pearl Harbor and read stuff, then you won’t find a more unique and historical experience than a guided tour with Pearl Harbor Warbirds. Why? Because you’ll see Pearl Harbor from the air in an authentic World War II aircraft – just as the Army and Navy airmen saw it.
The Admiral’s Warbird Adventure is the perfect way for you to relive history. The experience begins as a member of the Aviation Detachment – on December 10th, 1941 three days after the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor. History comes alive once you receive a simulated Classified Intelligence Brief, similar to what you may have experienced in 1941, to assist you in a Route-Reconnaissance and Battle Damage Assessment mission. Then you’ll execute a Battle Damage Reconnaissance flight aboard the venerable U.S. Navy (AT-6) that many WWII Aviation Cadets experienced early in their training. See Pearl Harbor and O‘ahu from the air as the Army and Navy airmen saw it and fly the same routes the Japanese attackers used. The sights, sounds and smells of the military aircraft with its radial engine provide the experience of a lifetime.
There are two tours that Pearl Harbor Warbirds offers. The Admiral’s Warbird Adventure is our most popular tour, but you may also enjoy a flight in our vintage warbird airplane with our Ensign’s Warbird Experience.
Pearl Harbor Military Tour
Home Of The Brave offers a very informative guided tour of Pearl Harbor, and offers Hawaii’s only Pearl Harbor Military Base Tour. While the tour takes you to places of somber remembrance, there are moments of humor as the guides provide an interesting insight to the history around the attack on Pearl Harbor and Hawai’i during World War II. Knowledgeable, insightful, friendly, courteous, and valuable for being one of the first out to the Arizona Memorial is almost worth the tour by itself.
