Pearl Harbor Sightseeing and Honolulu Duck Tour

Make your way to Ilikai Hotel in Waikiki to board your open-air amphibious vehicle and begin your duck tour of Honolulu by land and water. The 'duck' has been converted from military use into adaptive transportation that affords a great way to sightsee around Honolulu.

Drive past Ala Moana Center, the biggest shopping center in Hawaii, and Kewalo Basin, where Hawaii’s commercial fishing fleet docks. Head to the national historic landmark, Iolani Palace, once the official residence of Hawaii’s last two monarchs: King Kalakaua, and his successor and sister, Queen Liliuokalani. Nearby, snap photos during a brief stop at a statue that shows another famous Hawaiian monarch, King Kamehameha I. Then pass the bustling streets of Chinatown en route to splash into Keehi Lagoon. Set our on the waters of Honolulu Harbor as your guide points out sights including Honolulu International Airport, Sand Island, Mkauea Island, Tripler Army Medical Center and Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. Get great views of the coast, from the downtown skyline and Waikiki all the way to Diamond Head.

When you reach the Pearl Harbor Visitor’s Center, National Park Service staff guide you to the starting point for the attraction of your choice (please choose when booking from the options listed in Itinerary below). Tour either the USS Arizona Memorial or the Battleship Missouri Memorial, or gain admission to the Pacific Aviation Museum. Food is available for purchase at shops within the center.

Throughout the journey, your guide shares the history of Honolulu and Hawaii along with entertaining commentary. Afterwards, return to the starting point where your tour ends.
