About

We begin our day at the World War II: Valor in the Pacific National Monument, the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and the USS Arizona Memorial.

This incredible tour begins at Pearl Harbor where our Tour Guide takes you on a journey back to December 7th, 1941 and provides you the complete story of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the day that launched the United States into World War II. At Pearl Harbor you will experience the entire Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, its museums, movie documentaries and the official USS Arizona Memorial Tour.

The highlight of this tour is when you get timed admission to the National Park Service’s theater to view a 23-minute movie documentary on the bombing of Pearl Harbor and then you will board the US Navy shuttle boat to travel out to the USS Arizona Memorial.

Located in Pearl Harbor, the USS Arizona Memorial rests above the sunken battleship USS Arizona. Here you will visit one of our nation’s most popular national monuments and stand in the shrine room to view the names of over 1,178 sailors and marines who lost their lives during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Aboard the Memorial, you will also be able to view the oil that is still leaking from the USS Arizona and have a perfect view of the Battleship USS Missouri.

Then we begin our journey to the North shore with a stop at the Dole Plantation, the second largest visitor attraction on Oahu, where you can shop, or try their world-famous Dole Whip ice-cream! Then you will be off on a fascinating road trip through Oahu’s surf culture, cruising by Haleiwa and see all the famous North Shore Surfing Beaches!

You’ll enjoy lunch (non-hosted) in the beautiful Waimea Valley, stop for photos you’ll definitely want to Instagram and taste free macadamia nuts before we head up to the stunning Nu`uanu Pali Lookout to experience the best views of Windward Oahu! Then it’s time for our popular Historic Honolulu City Tour before your journey ends.

Besides offering our passengers the newest and most comfortable vehicles on the market, it’s our friendly, local guides who make our tours the best on Oahu. Each of our guides goes through an extensive background check along with driver's safety training and participates in ongoing educational opportunities, providing the highest quality tours to our guests. Your tour guide will share special insider knowledge about living in Hawaii, along with Hawaiian history during the tour that you don't find in guide books! As on all Fly Shuttle Tours, complimentary cold bottled water is available for all passengers!
