Do not buy tickets to this through any company. They are over priced. Buy tickets once you get to the memorial. I paid “Karma Tours”(who is offered through Trip Advisor) $170.00 for a tour. My original tour was booked for 10:30am, they switched everything around and my tour was then 1:30pm. I tried to get a refund from both Karma tours and trip advisor with neither of them helping in anyway shape or form. Terrible customer service. Anyways, I had a driver pick me up from a pick up point away from my hotel in a van, along with about 25 other people. He then brought us into the site and basically dropped us off saying feel free to explore on our own for 2 hours. Bus leaves at ____ time. That $170.00 only covered a tour of the USS Arizona. No other tours (which btw that tour is FREE). Only buy once you get to Pearl Harbor don’t bother going through a “tour” company. On another note viewing the USS Arizona is very humbling and was a great experience in itself.

"Important History, but Very Crowded and Rushed"
TripAdvisor user rating 3 out of 5
Reviewed August 15, 2025 NEW
I visited the USS Arizona Memorial with high expectations due to its historical significance. While it's definitely a moving place and a must-see for history buffs, the overall experience felt a bit underwhelming. The site was extremely crowded, even early in the morning, which made it hard to fully absorb the atmosphere. The boat ride to the memorial was quick, and once we got there, we were only allowed a short time before being brought back. It felt rushed and didn’t give much opportunity to reflect or take in the details. The museum before the tour was informative, and the staff were helpful and respectful. Still, I wish there had been more time at the actual memorial site.

This was a very somber experience. It's hard to believe that hundreds of soldiers are buried there. It was wonderful to experience it at least once in your life.

Memorial dedicated to the service members who lost their lives during the USS Arizona attack in 1941. A US Navy boat ferries you out to the memorial site, where docents provide educational presentations.
