Itinerary
Journey through history at the Pearl Harbor Memorial, where the USS Arizona rests beneath the waters. On a tour, pay tribute to the heroes of December 7, 1941, as you embark on a boat ride to the USS Arizona Memorial, offering a somber yet profound opportunity to honor the lives lost and reflect on the enduring legacy of Pearl Harbor. Schedule is subject to change based on reservation time.
The Battleship Missouri, or "Mighty Mo," is famous for hosting Japan's WWII surrender in 1945. Now a museum at Pearl Harbor, it showcases its historic role in several conflicts.
As we pass by Iolani Palace, take in this iconic landmark, the only royal palace in the United States. Once the residence of Hawaii's last reigning monarchs, the palace stands as a symbol of the Kingdom of Hawaii’s rich history. While we won’t stop here, you'll still have the chance to glimpse its stunning architecture and learn about its significance in Hawaii's royal past as we continue our journey through historic downtown Honolulu.
As we pass by the iconic King Kamehameha Statue, famously featured in the opening scenes of the Hawaii 5-0 TV series, you'll have a chance to admire the towering figure of King Kamehameha I. Standing proudly in front of the historic Aliʻiōlani Hale, this statue honors the monarch who united the Hawaiian Islands. Though we won’t stop, you’ll get a great view of this beloved landmark and hear stories about its role in both Hawaiian history and pop culture.

Nevin was absolutely amazing! His knowledge of the history and culture of Hawaii was outstanding. He's a great storyteller. The tour itself was absolutely stunning. Each atop was perfectly timed; didn't feel rushed or like it took too much time. This tour was balanced to perfection. Highly recommend this tour and if you get Nevin plan for an absolutely wonderful experience!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – Simply the Best Private Tour Experience We’ve Ever Had! My wife and I have been fortunate enough to travel extensively around the world and experience some truly remarkable places and tours. I can say without hesitation that our private VIP Pearl Harbor tour with Hawaii Pacific Adventures was the finest tour experience we’ve ever had, anywhere in the world! Our guide was Austin, the owner of this wonderful small business that he operates with his wife. From beginning to end, Austin was absolutely exceptional. His knowledge of Pearl Harbor, its history, and the events that shaped it was extraordinary. But what truly set this experience apart was Austin himself. He was warm, engaging, thoughtful, funny, and genuinely passionate about sharing his knowledge and his beautiful home of Hawaii. It didn’t feel like we were being guided by a tour operator. It felt like having a great friend proudly showing us around his hometown. That personal connection made an already fascinating and emotional experience something truly unforgettable. There is something very special about a small, family-owned business where the owners genuinely care about every detail of their guests’ experience. Austin embodies that spirit perfectly. We’ve enjoyed wonderful guides and experiences on several continents, but Austin has set an entirely new standard for what a private tour should be. If you’re visiting Oahu, do yourself a favour and book with Hawaii Pacific Adventures. You won’t simply get an outstanding tour. You’ll come away with wonderful memories and the feeling that you’ve made a new friend in Hawaii. Austin, thank you for an extraordinary day. You and your wife should be incredibly proud of the business you’ve built. We wish you every success. You’ve certainly earned our highest possible recommendation!

Had a great call with Carly before we booked on this trip and she helped us sign up for multiple tours but also helped us book surf lessons and a luau. So I really appreciate that they helped us book so much to do on our trip. Then at Pearl Harbor, Austin came and picked us up, gave us great insight on the drive over, explaining the significance and weight of what we were about to experience. He also explained all the things that we had to do when the Navy took over the part of the tour they dont allow tour guides to be on. After that Austin gave us a great tour of the Might MO and was so knowledgeable about everything we asked. My dad was struggling with some movement issues and Austin helped get my dad to an AC area to wait as we finished the tour. Overall what we got for the price was incredible and its such a reasonable price for a private tour.
We had a great tour. Everything was smooth and informative. I defiantly recommend booking
We really enjoyed this tour. Justin was fantastic, and was extremely knowledgeable. He answered every question, but better than that he gave us so much interesting information.
This tour was great! We had a party of 11 and the private tour was perfect. Austin did a great job! We loved the tour!
We had a tour of the Pearl Harbor Memorial (USS Arizona) and the USS Missouri museum Ship. Our tour guide was Carly. She was super nice and very informative. The car was comfortable and she was on time! It was a great experience!
Excellent private tour with Roberto! We gave him a couple of ideas of what we wanted to see, and asked him to show us other places that he thought were “must see”. Such a wonderful tour! I highly recommend Hawaii Pacific Adventures.
Carly was the best tour guide ever! She was super friendly, knowledgeable, patient and VERY good at what she does!
Austin was the best. We all learned a lot and enjoyed the trip. The private tour was the way to go. 😊

He was very knowledgeable, so pleasant, accomodating and kept us well informed about what was happening and what we were doing. We completely enjoyed the entire experience and we learned a lot. The Arizona Memorial was heart felt and emotionally moving. A must do experience.

Austin, our tour guide and driver, was excellent. Very knowledgable and friendly. Arrived on time and for pick up and streamlined the experience. He geared the tour to keep our 5 grandchildren (ages 4 - 15) interested. Would highly recommend using this service as opposed to going on your own, especially if you have a large group. Thanks again Austin!
We thoroughly enjoyed our Pearl Harbor tour with Austin! He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing facts I hadn't even known, and demonstrating a deep understanding of the island's history. My grandson loved both Austin and Carly; they were wonderful with him, making both tours enjoyable. He was especially impressed that Austin knew the floss dance! You can't go wrong choosing Hawaiian Pacific Tours & Adventures as your guides.

We had a great experience and our family is so glad to have booked this tour. From the moment we were picked up to when we were dropped off, we had an easy and organized schedule which allowed us to make the most of our trip. It was so convenient to have everything, including the tour tickets, prepared for us so we wouldn't have to worry about the lines or missing times. Without the worries that come with trip preparations, we were able to fully take in the memorial and the history behind it. Our visit to the USS Missouri afterwards felt like the perfect next step from where the war began, to where it ended. Our guide Austin provided us with an unforgettable experience from start to finish. He shared so much information, not only about Pearl Harbor history, but of Hawaiian culture and trip recommendations as well. He was truly so friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating, which in turn gave us a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere. We would recommend this tour to anyone who really values making the most of your time and having a genuine experience. Thank you so much Austin and Hawaii Pacific Adventures!

Austin has a great attitude and was a wonderful tour guide- super positive and easy to get along with - I would recommend him for anyone who comes to Hawaii
Private tour with Austin was fantastic. Took us to the pearl harbor sites and punch bowl crater. He's an expert on all things Hawaii including language and history. We didn't stop asking questions and he didn't stop answering them. Near part of the trip. Worth every penny.
This is definitely a must do!! The awe inspiring reverence of Pearl Harbor and the Missouri battleship was incredible. The amount of knowledge of history of the devastation that happened in 1941 as well as Island information that was given to us by our tour guide, Austin Stafford was top notch. He even knew all about Hawaii 5 O!!!! Austin was very prompt and personable! GREAT JOB!!
Austin was so informative and escorted us every step of the way. It was an awesome experience and we so enjoyed the day. It was just my husband and myself which was really nice. Thankyou Austin!
