USS Arizona Memorial "Small Group"

We had an inspiring time. This visit was on "our bucket list" and I don't know who can go there and not be moved. I cried knowing my dad, not at Pearl Harbor, but Marine Corps, thought about what all our military, doctors, nurses, firemen, and all the other first responders give so that I can free. Kenneth was fantastic and very knowledgeable during trip. Would ask for him next time. EXCELLENT TRIP. NL from Chicago north suburbs.

We did not complete part of the tour but were very hurriedly rushed back to our hotel to accommodate another your. Very dissatisfied.

Ben was an amazing tour guide, he was so knowledgeable and very easy going, thank you Ben for an amazing experience that we will never forget

We had a great experience with our tour guide, Ben, He was very personable very professional and knew his island. We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary and my husband’s birthday, and had a wonderful time.

Ben was a most gracious guide. We especially appreciate his lunch recommendation for 604 restaurant in between our Ford Island activities and the Arizona museum. 100% agree with 604’s claim to best Bloody Mary in town.

Great tour guide! Very friendly and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the boat to the Arizona was closed, so they took us up to a beautiful lookout to make up for it.

Tour guide was great! Lots of fun educational. My family enjoyed trip very much. My family enjoyed it my family enjoyed it

Being in the military for 9 years, we never lost a crew member into people left the military. Seeing this in person and trying to understand what they were experiencing is incomprehensible. I have never agreed to or tried to understand people kneeling the anthem and seeing this memorial in person solidifies why I will never agree to anyone kneeling.

Ben our guide was great and showed us some places in Hawaii. The memorial was great as well. We enjoyed paying our respects.

This “tour” is a racket and is so disappointing and infuriating. The tickets to the USS Arizona are distributed by the park service for FREE on a first come, first serve basis. Services like Viator buy them all up, likely using a bot (they are released at a certain time each day, and despite my husband and I logging in at EXACTLY the right time, tickets were gone within 10 seconds on 2 separate tries). We booked this “tour” through Viator so we could ensure we could actually get a chance to visit the memorial on our visit to Oahu. Our 4 tickets (my husband, myself, and my 2 children) were 4 of 15 total tickets listed at the top of our passes. This means that Viator reserved these tickets in bulk (again, for free) and then sold them out at astronomical prices. The “tour” we purchased was a guy in a van picking us up at a hotel, driving us 20 minutes to the memorial (where parking is, again, free, anyway) leaving us there to do the boat ride over to the Arizona, then picking us up 2 hours later and driving us back to our pick-up spot. The driver did share some interesting facts with us along the way about downtown Honolulu and Waikiki, and drove us around some to interesting buildings in the area (so I don’t put this on the driver at all - he was great. My beef is with Viator). I’m grateful we got to see the memorial, but angry that it took this much money to do so, and that Viator contributes to the problem.
