Pickup and meeting point
- Hotel collection: Selected Waikiki hotels provide the pickup points. Prince Waikiki and Hale Koa are among the choices.

- Clothing: Wear a shirt and walking shoes for the memorial visit. Swimwear isn't permitted there.
- Bags: Large bags and items that conceal their contents need paid storage at Pearl Harbor. A light load avoids carrying extra belongings around the island.

Good to know
Know before you go
Children ages 3 to 11 have a child ticket band, with adult tickets from age 12. Infants through age 2 are accepted. The booking needs an adult and can contain up to 15 travelers.
Pickup uses your selected Waikiki hotel stop. You need to be ready 15 minutes before the pickup. The tour includes hotel transport, so you can't join at a later stop.
Wear comfortable shoes for the short sightseeing stops and Pearl Harbor grounds. Arizona requires a shirt and shoes. Swimwear isn't appropriate for the memorial visit, even though the island circuit passes beaches along the way.
Lunch isn't included in this tour, so budget for it. The 10-hour day has time for a meal stop.
Arizona Memorial admission is part of the package. Navy suspensions can prevent the crossing even with tickets. The shore exhibits remain available, and the driver can adjust the island route around conditions on the day.
An immediate booking provides a mobile ticket for the tour. Canceling at least 24 hours before departure qualifies for a full refund. After that deadline, cancellation doesn't qualify even if you change your island plans.

The available schedule is Friday and Sunday with a 6:30 a.m. start. Your day lasts 10 hours. An available date is still needed for booking, and the pickup instructions determine the exact hotel meeting arrangements.
- Can travelers see all Pearl Harbor museums on E Noa's Circle Island tour?
This circuit doesn't schedule a full museum day at Pearl Harbor. The whole outing lasts 10 hours and continues around Oahu. You trade that museum time for the North Shore and eastern lookouts, with short visits at several coastal stops.
