Rare NellieVA Posted March 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2023 We are returning on the NCL POA into Honolulu on 7 October and wish to take a Pearl Harbor tour after disembarkation, with a drop-off at the airport. Our flight from Honolulu departs at 3:30pm. None of the NCL-provided excursions would work for our flight timing, at least according to the NCL website. Can anyone recommend a private tour company who can provide this tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaribbeanBound Posted March 14, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Logistics: Keep in mind you will be off the ship around 7:00 am (?), and need to be at the airport no later than 1:30 pm. You'll need about 90+ minutes at the memorial, especially if you take the tour out to the ship itself (assuming they are running that day and you have secured tickets). Door-to-door you can Uber/Taxi from ship to Memorial in 20-30 minutes depending on traffic, and from Memorial to Airport in 15-20 minutes. You don't need a private company.

As the previous poster mentioned, no need for a tour company. Uber/Lyft/taxi for quick transportation over there and then to the airport. You don't have a ton of time- whether this is even worth it or not will depend if you can get timed tickets for the ferry ride to and from the Arizona Memorial. These are available a couple months in advance on the government website, are for specific times, and do sell out. Once you have those you can start to plan more.

KeepCalmBearOn Posted March 15, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I would say visiting Pearl Harbor is not feasible in your circumstances. Finding a company with the just the right timing to meets your needs would be very expensive, plus you'd have to have tickets for the USS Arizona shuttle.

Rare mooline Posted March 21, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 21, 2023 We are in the same situation, Nellie. Just yesterday, the airline advised that our departure time is changed from 4:30 to 3:30. That one hour makes a huge difference; we had arranged a private island tour, but now have limited time for stops. Probably not worth it given the cost.

Rare NellieVA Posted March 21, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted March 21, 2023 MOOLINE -- I was able to find a private company that can accommodate our schedule, and our flight is at 3:30pm, too. If you want the name of the company, just let me know. Their price is almost identical (a little less) than the tour/transfer offered by the cruise line, and they've guaranteed us Arizona tickets and drop off at the airport by 1:30pm.

Rare NellieVA Posted March 21, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted March 21, 2023 thanks for all the replies. Appreciate all the comments. As a follow-up, we had considered the taxi/Uber option, but as we're going to have our luggage with us, we worried about storing that at Pearl Harbor. I was successful in finding a private company that can accommodate our schedule, and the price is reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to know the tour company you found please! We are trying to find something to do after our cruise in July. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NellieVA Posted March 27, 2023 Author #9 Share Posted March 27, 2023 The tour is called "Pearl Harbor & City Landmarks" by Personalized Hawaii Tours (phvforme.com). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
