The USS Bowfin Submarine

The Bowfin Submarine, also known as the "Pearl Harbor Avenger," has a remarkable history of service during World War II. Launched on December 7, 1942, a year after the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor, its mission was to seek and destroy enemy ships and submarines. Over the course of its nine war patrols, the Bowfin sank a substantial number of enemy vessels, solidifying its reputation as a formidable force. Today, the submarine is a centerpiece at the Pearl Harbor National Memorial in Hawaii, serving as a historical landmark that educates visitors about its significant role in wartime history.

Take an unforgettable journey that starts with a convenient morning pickup from your accommodations or a central location. Our transportation service will whisk you away to the iconic Pearl Harbor, offering stops at the cruise ship pier, Waikiki, and Ko Olina for your convenience.

Once you arrive, our knowledgeable guide will be there to accompany you as you explore the World War II Pacific National Monument. Dive into the rich history and significance of this historic site and its surroundings.

Our first stop will be at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, where you can take your time exploring various museums at your own pace or with the guidance of our expert tour guide. Immerse yourself in the stories and insights offered by the multilingual audio tour devices, with an extensive range of options available in English.

Next, we'll visit the renowned Arizona Memorial. Before entering, you'll have the opportunity to watch a compelling short film featuring historical footage, setting the stage for your visit. A boat operated by the Navy will then take you to the memorial, where you can spend approximately 15 minutes absorbing the profound significance of the site.

After returning to the Visitor Center, our guide will lead you to the USS Bowfin submarine. Step inside and discover the inner workings and operations of this pivotal vessel during World War II. The museum showcases the fascinating evolution of submarine technology, offering a comprehensive look into its history.

Our journey continues to Ford Island, where numerous historic sites await. Due to its status as an active naval base, we'll ensure transportation is approved and secure. Along the way, you'll catch a glimpse of memorials honoring other ships, such as the USS Oklahoma.

Standing tall and powerful, the USS Battleship Missouri dominates the harbor. This meticulously restored ship symbolizes the monumental end of the war. Marvel at the spot on its deck where Japan officially signed the documents to cease hostilities. During a 35-minute guided tour, a local expert will regale you with captivating stories and share fascinating insights into the ship's impressive battle history.

No trip to Pearl Harbor would be complete without a visit to the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum. Explore hangars filled with meticulously restored airplanes and artifacts that bring the rich aviation history to life. Take a spin in the flight simulator and immerse yourself in the incredible exhibits that commemorate the achievements of aviation pioneers.

To conclude this extraordinary day, we'll take you on a fun tour of historic Honolulu. As we pass through significant sites like Punchbowl Cemetery, Iolani Palace, and the King Kamehameha Statue, you'll be left in awe of their historical significance and the stories they hold.

After a full day filled with exploration, heroism, and history, we'll ensure you arrive back at your accommodation by approximately 5:30 p.m., bringing an end to your unforgettable 10-hour adventure. You will be captivated by the wonders of Pearl Harbor and the chance to experience history.
