Kona Fly Away: A Complete Day of Pearl Harbor Exploration

by Discover Hawaii Tours

Are you staying on the Big Island, but anxious to explore historic Pearl Harbor and be immersed in its fascinating history? No problem; Travergence makes your excursion to Oahu trouble-free by taking care of all the coordinating. Your airfare is even included in your tour price!

You’ll land in lovely Honolulu and be greeted by your knowledgeable Pearl Harbor guide. In no time at all you’ll find yourself at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, watching evocative film footage of the December 7th, 1941 attack, and headed to the serene USS Arizona Memorial. Pearl Harbor’s history begins to unfold.

Then your guide will take you to explore famous Ford Island, which took a direct hit during the attack. You’ll have the opportunity to experience what life on board a WWII battleship may have been like as you enjoy a professional guided tour of the “Mighty Mo” USS Missouri Battleship’s deck; you’ll be surrounded by remarkable aircrafts as your tour through the Pacific Aviation Museum; and take part in a contemplative stop at the USS Bowfin Submarine and the USS Oklahoma Memorial.

Your guide will offer interesting historical knowledge of several downtown Honolulu sites as you drive by, including: the famous King Kamehameha the Great Statue; Punchbowl National Cemetery; the royal residence of Iolani Palace; the stately Kawaiahao Church (made of coral harvested from the nearby ocean) and Ali’iolani Hale, the first Western style building erected in Honolulu.
