Description
Pearl Harbor Passport
You can easily spend a few hours learning about the events that led to active US involvement in World War II and paying respects to the men who died defending their country on that long-ago morning.
Real history enthusiasts and those who have a little more time should consider spending more than just half a day at Pearl Harbor and go for the complete experience. Most people know about the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and the USS Arizona Memorial, but there’s much more to see in the vicinity. Don’t miss any of the Pearl Harbor Historic Sites and save yourself some time by using the Passport to Pearl Harbor, one ticket that grants you access to everything there is to see at Pearl Harbor.
This complete package includes admissions and audio tours, available in nine different languages. Transportation is not included. However, it is easy to get from Waikiki to Pearl Harbor, either by taking the quick drive in your own car or catching one of the many buses going directly there.
