Pearl Harbor’s USS Arizona Memorial marks the site of the December 7, 1941 attack that brought the US into World War II, with the sunken battleship still visible beneath the memorial’s waters.

Standard Tour

A standard tour includes the boat ride out to the USS Arizona Memorial and access to the visitor center’s museum exhibits about the attack.

Battleship Missouri Combo Tour

A combo tour adds the USS Missouri, the battleship where Japan formally surrendered in 1945, creating a bookend narrative from the war’s start to its end.

Is the Missouri Combo Worth It?

Visiting both the Arizona (where the war began for the US) and the Missouri (where it ended) creates a genuinely powerful historical arc, worth the extra time for most visitors.
