Harbor Tours of Battleship Row Reinstated

Date: October 4, 2018

Honolulu – Tours of Pearl Harbor’s infamous Battleship Row will be reinstated tomorrow, October 5th following a five day temporary suspension to affect repairs to the Visitor Center loading dock. These repairs were completed thanks to the outstanding support of the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard Divers, Mobile Diving Salvage Unit 1, Port Operations, Naval Facilities Command (NAVFAC) and their Project Execution Section Welding Shop. We will provide updates on this issue as information becomes available.

Visitors will continue to see a 25-minute documentary film, followed by the harbor tour, which is in close proximity to the USS Arizona Memorial. The National Park Service will provide live or recorded commentary during tours to enhance our visitors’ experience to the greatest extent possible. As always, tours may be suspended at times due to unsafe weather conditions.

All other amenities at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center remain open and accessible. Visitors are encouraged to visit our two free museums, shoreside exhibits, snack shop, and bookstore. Our partners at the Battleship Missouri Memorial, the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park, and Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum remain open and ready to welcome visitors.
