GoPlanit Reviews for Arizona Memorial
You can get to the Arizona Memorial from Pearl Harbor. They offer a free boat ride over after you've watched the short movie that talks about the history behind Pearl Harbor and what happened on that fateful day. The historical significance of Pearl Harbor is hard to deny. So, no "first" trip to Honolulu is complete without a trip to the famous Pearl Harbor. I've seen it several times already but if this is your first time in Honolulu, you have to come by. The short boat ride over to the Arizona Memorial gives you plenty of picture-taking opportunities. An, the memorial itself is a great place to walk around and pay tribute to all the brave soldiers who were aboard the USS Arizona.
