The bus eases through Waikiki early, the harbor water dark and flat, daring you to look beneath the surface where history rests. Guests board for a compact, four-hour circuit that moves deliberately — a shore-side memorial, a short boat ride to the white Arizona Memorial, then down into the narrow corridors of the USS Bowfin submarine.
