OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES/TOURS

Hawaii Music Festivals® offers a wide variety of optional
activities and tours to add to a tour itinerary. Below is just a sample
of the many fun things to do and see while in paradise.

Arizona Memorial Tour

Relive the day that will live in infamy. The USS Arizona was one of
seven battleships tied up along Battleship Row when the first wave of
Japanese planes attacked Pearl Harbor. The Arizona was hit by an armor
piercing bomb that penetrated her deck and ignited the forward
ammunition magazine. In less than 9 minutes she sank with 1,177 of her
crew.

The visitor center is the first stop for everyone on the tour. You will
see a 20 minute documentary film presenting a moving account on the
Pearl Harbor attack. Immediately following the film you will board Navy
launches to the Memorial. At the visitor center you are free to explore
the museum and browse through the bookstore operated by the Arizona
Memorial Museum Association.

PACIFIC AVIATION MUSEUM

The Pacific Aviation Museum at Pearl Harbor is located in one of the original hangars on Ford Island. World War II planes have been restored with other exhibits in the newly reconstructed 40,000 foot hangar. This unique and interactive perspective on World War II aviation history gives visitors a front row seat to the Pacific theater of operations and Hawaii’s pivotal role. The education program includes a guided tour through the main exhibit hangar where the first year of World War II is depicted. The tour covers the first moments of the war that affected not only a nation but the world. Each point in history is discussed and enhanced with activities that not only highlight the history made in the Pacific, but the technological and social changes that resulted because of WWII.

Battleship Missouri Memorial

The "Mighty Mo" marks the end of World War II where Japan
unconditionally surrendered to the United States. First launched in
1944, she had a career of service spanning three wars. She was last
deployed in 1991 during the Persian Gulf War. She was built for speed
and firepower. The ship's trademark is its 16 inch guns. Each is 65
feet long, weighs approximately 115 tons and can fire with amazing
accuracy. Visitors are able to walk the decks, tour the wardroom and
quarters and understand how the sailors lived on board ship. The final
stop on the tour is the famed Surrender Deck where you sense the
symbolism of the spot where World War II came to an end.

Diamond Head Hike

View Oahu's beautiful southern coastline from atop on of Hawaii's most
famous landmarks. Diamond Head Crater was created about 300,000 years
ago during a single, brief eruption. The broad, saucer-shaped crater
covers 350 acres with its width being greater than its height. The
trail to the summit was built in 1908 as part of the U.S. Army Coastal
Artillery defense system. From the trailhead to the summit of Diamond
Head Crater, you will cover 0.7 miles one way and climb 560 feet from
the crater floor. Portions of the trail go through dark tunnels. The
hike will take you through World War II bunkers on the way to the
summit. Don't forget to bring a camera!
