Be careful with transportation..We took Waikiki shuttle (also known as Kahula five star) because the bus took 1 1/2 hours and they drove around Waikiki hotels for 45 minutes and left us standing for 1 hour and 10 minutes on the return..I called twice and was screamed at and hung up on..They forced us to pay R/T($24 for 3 people)... more

If you are going to Hawaii this is definately a site you must see. The audio tour is excellent. They are in the process of planning and building a HUGE new site that should be very moving. The site now is small and gets very crowded. However, they are extremely organized and the movie and boat ride out to the... more

As someone who loves history and teaches it in high school, and someone who is patriotic, This was the #1 thing to do on my list. It was a moving experience. We got there at 9:00 AM by the bus from Waikiki. We got in line for our tickets, and our time was for 11:45. We chose not to use... more

Admission is free, but they have an audio tour for $5. I didn't feel as though the audio tour added too much to the exhibits that were already there;... more

Everyone visiting Honolulu should spend a morning visiting the memorial. Like others have said, it is a sad and somber visit. more

Book the "Stars and Stripes" tour with Roberts. It was with Roberts when we booked it in our airline package and it's the only tour that takes you to Pearl Harbor, the Arizona Memorial, The USS Missouri and Punchbowl Crater National Veteran's Cemetery. The Memorial is a very special place and you must see it yourself to understand. If you... more

We visited the memorial while in Hawaii and it was one of the best things we did on holiday. A really moving experience. You have to see this to appreciate what went on when Pearl Harbour was attacked. We had great advise, you dont need to be on a tour to see the memorial. Its free to get into and... more

A really great experience. A must-do in Hawaii! It is free, so better start early. We just went on a day trip from the big island were we stayed so we took the earliest flight out of Kona to HNL. When we got there around 9am it was already crowded... line was so long. We didn't wait that long so... more
