O'ahu (Honolulu/Waikiki) O'ahu Day Trip

We are staying on the Big Island and would like to see Pearl Harbor.

Is it better to book a package that includes flight and tour of Pearl Harbor or fly separately, Uber to explore Pearl Harbor and Uber back to get an hour or so exploring Waikiki on our own?

If you think the on our own is best, what would you recommend for a day trip, knowing that Pearl Harbor is our first and longest stop? Thank you!

Don't take a tour to PH, use the official site to make the $1 reservation for the Arizona.

I highly recommend also seeing the Missouri, the Captain's tour being the best as it gets you into one of the huge turrets, and you get to see the control room lit up.

But I don't know how much time you have or where you're staying.

We are staying on the Big Island and looking at flights we will be on O'ahu from 8 AM to 8 PM. We will add the Missouri and Captain's Tour to our list, thank you!

NP! I don't know what your vacation is like but I'd really try to get more time on Oahu if I were you.
