Viewing the Wreckage: Inside the memorial you can look down into the water to see parts of the sunken battleship. The ship’s outline is visible just below the surface, and oil droplets, often referred to as “The Tears of the Arizona,” can still be seen rising to the surface

Remembrance Wall: At the far end of the memorial is a wall inscribed with the names of the 1,177 crew members who lost their lives aboard the USS Arizona. This wall serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war

Must do tour. - My husband and I enjoyed the day from start to finish. Anthony was our driver/ tour guide and he was so friendly, polite and knew so much. Was on time to pick us up at our accommodation, greeted us in a friendly manner and we both felt safe and welcome on his bus. Any questions we had he knew the answers. Wish all our tour guides were like him. From Barry and Margaret thank you Anthony for making our day special.

Best Tour of Pearl Harbor Sites - This tour was the highlight of my trip to Hawaii. If you like history, this is your tour. This trip takes you to everything having to do with Pearl Harbor. You will visit the USS Arizona, Bowfin submarine, Pearl Harbor Attack museums, Ford Island, Battleship Missouri, Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum and a tour of downtown Honolulu. The tour is led by Ariel who was outstanding. He is an expert on the Pearl Harbor attack and he will point out to you on the drive just where in the valley the Japanese planes attacked the base. This is wonderful information to have on your way to the Harbor. What makes this tour really stand out is that it actually makes a stop in downtown Honolulu where you can get out and take pictures of the King Kamehameha statue, Ali'Iolani Hale and Iolani Palace. Most tours only drive by these places. This tour makes a stop. This is the best run, best led tour of any kind that I've ever been a part of. It is well worth the money.

Amazing - Very clean, very well organized. I think the lines for the Arizona could have been organized better. Poor Rangers were having to explain to peo0le whi h lines were which. Rangers did a great job but management could make it easier for them.

Make Pearl Harbour the top of your to-do list. Just don't use Aloha tours. Use any other tour company, public transport or self - I would recommend everyone go and visit Pearl Harbour, it is a moving experience, especially see the USS Arizona memorial, and knowing that the names on the remembrance wall are still within the wreck of the ship. Even walking around the USS Bowfin and the USS Missouri and understanding the part they played in history is worth the visit. I would recommend walking sturdy shoes or trainers as they is plenty to see. There is also a shuttle bus that takes you to the USS Missouri and the aviation museum, and it is every 15 mins, and in all locations, it is in shade if you do have to wait. The only criticism I have is the food from the main food court, which wasn't that great. I had the chicken tenders, and they were dry and chewy. Also, the company I booked with was abysmal. They gave me a pick-up time, which I was early for (that is just me though) and they were almost 30 mins late for!! The vehicle and driver they sent dropped us off at the front gate and explained there that this was a self guided tour and that they were off to the airport to do another job! Which frankly isn't appropriate. It got worse as on the way back to the hotel drop offs, the air con packed in and the automatic door release both broke at separate times, even though the driver explained to the company that the vehicle wasn't up to the job, the company didn't seem to care.
