Ideal if you want to:
Experience Pearl Harbor with transportation, reserved entry, and stress-free planning included. Best for first-time visitors with a lot to see on vacation.
The short answer is yes. Usually, you are able to drive yourself to Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor has a parking lot where you can park a private car. There are a few things to note before making this decision.
You can pick up your headset for the audio tour near the Information Desk at the Visitors Center.
Remember, no bags larger than 1.5"x2.25"x5.5" are allowed anywhere at Pearl Harbor. This includes backpacks, camera bags, purses, luggage, and fanny packs must all be left at the baggage storage at the entrance to the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. For diaper needs, we suggest parents and caregivers include these baby items in a clear sealable bag under the stroller seat for clear visibility and access.
Here is an example of an approved clear stadium style bag.
If you have a medical issue that may require the use of a medical bag that might offer concealment, you must disclose this to security. Bags can only carry the medically required items. Final say rests with the Park Security Rangers.
Yes, strollers and mobility devices are allowed at the Visitor Center and most outdoor areas.
However, strollers are not permitted on shuttle boats or inside the USS Arizona Memorial, so a baby carrier is recommended for those portions of your visit.
Due to the Pearl Harbor National Memorial's no-bag policy, only bring snacks and water bottles that you can carry. There is a small snack shop on site that carries various sundry snacks and cold beverages as well as restaurants throughout the area. There are water fountains located throughout the park to use or refill water bottles.
We recommend that all visitors consider this site is for remembrance and reflection of the loss of life in service to the United States, therefore please plan for appropriate dress. Battle dress uniform is not allowed on the memorial, though it is allowed throughout the visitor center and at sites on Ford Island. Military visitors are welcome to wear civilian attire when visiting.
Come prepared with comfortable shoes as you will be on your feet throughout your visit, including a hat, sunglasses, and reef-safe sunscreen are recommended.
Although flights are non-refundable, non-transferable, and non-changeable, please give us notice as soon as you know that you will not be able to go on the tour and we will try to work with our airline partners to reschedule you. While this has happened, it is not a guarantee.
Most of our tours will include a full refund in such cases. Tours including airfare and combo tours may operate depending on the circumstances. If they operate, unused admissions will be refunded.
The movie at the Pearl Harbor Visitors Center, the boat to the Arizona Memorial, the Arizona Memorial, and the Pearl Harbor Visitors Center are all out of our control. If there is a closure for safety, weather, mechanical or other causes, tours that have already departed are not eligible for refunds.
Rescheduling is not allowed within 24 hours of the tour. Because this is within the 24-hour cancellation policy, it is non-refundable.
Your pick-up location will be sent to you after booking. It is the guest's responsibility to be at the pick-up location at the time scheduled. Failure to be at the correct location or the correct time is considered a no-show and will not be rescheduled or refunded.
