Overview
Unlike full-day tours that keep you on the bus for hours, our Pearl Harbor Tour by The Surf Bus is designed for those who want to experience the history and significance of Pearl Harbor without spending the entire day. With round-trip transportation from Ko Olina and a certified guide sharing cultural and historical insights along the way, you’ll get a meaningful visit to the USS Arizona Memorial and Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, plus time to explore exhibits and stories that bring December 7, 1941 to life.
It’s efficient, engaging, and moving — the perfect way to connect with one of Hawaiʻi’s most important historic sites while still leaving time to enjoy the rest of your day in paradise.
