Food areas and snack vendors are available so you will be able to grab a bite to eat.
USS Arizona Memorial
Travel aboard a US Navy Launch for the quick ride across the harbor to the Arizona Memorial, which is built over the sunken remains of the ship itself. You can browse the names of the Sailors and Marines who gave the ultimate sacrifice that day, and pay your respects to all of the fallen heroes. This beautiful memorial honors those who perished that day and overwhelms you with a sense of loss, and then lets the serenity of the ocean soothe you as the beauty is taken in.

Oahu Day Trip to the Polynesian Cultural Center
Rent a car for the day and take a drive to the North Shore of Oahu.
The drive around the island for a day trip is easy, the best route from Waikiki is east shore in the morning and west shore in the evening. During the winter, when the north shore surf is 20 ft and more, there will be traffic jams between Turtle Bay and Haleiwa Town in both directions.
Pearl Harbor is on the west shore just north of Waikiki Beach, you will have a good view of the harbor from the plane if you are seated on the left side during landing. Shuttles are advised for a day trip from Waikiki hotels to Pearl Harbor as parking is difficult but not impossible.
There are 15 tours in this category. Hawaii’s Leader in Affordable Activities
