Visiting Pearl Harbor from the Neighbor Islands

December 13, 2018

When planning a vacation in Hawaii, it can be tricky, if not downright impossible, to fit in everything you want to do. You may really want to see the sunrise from the summit of Haleakala on Maui, even though you’re staying on the Big Island. In those instances, you’re generally on your own when it comes to organizing transportation from one island to the other. But if you're interested in visiting Pearl Harbor from the neighbor islands, there are some terrific options that take care of all the details for you. All you need to do is make your way to the airport to catch your inter-island flight.

For visitors staying on Oahu, a tour of Pearl Harbor just requires a simple drive from the hotel areas of Waikiki and Ko Olina. From Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island, you'll need to fly to Oahu. The following tours offer the opportunity to experience this significant site in American history, regardless of what island you’re staying on.
