We were so looking forward to visiting Pearl Harbor, and specifically eeing the USS Arizona. The day before the tour, we received a text message saying that although the tour included the USS Arizona, seeing it would not be guaranteed because they would not be pre-purchasing tickets and there would probably not be enough time to stand in line. So when we got there, we were given three hours to do as we wished. Well, the line for the Arizona was 2 hours long, it's an hour just to take the ferry there and back, leaving no time of the 3 hour allotment to do the only thing we wanted to do. They wouldn't substitute the submarine and the museum and gift shop took little time to walk through. Left with nothing to do, we just left. Took an Uber back. What should have been a memorable visit is a vacation disappointment. Nowhere near worth a good review nor the $100 they took for our tour. Oh, I should also mention it rains on and off in Hawaii, so the open bus they took us there on left us feeling and looking like wet rats.

Mahalo for your review. It sounds like you and your party had a really difficult day and for that we are so sorry. While I cant apologize for the rain, I can understand how it could make you feel uncomfortable. We wish we were able to have more control over the current USS Arizona ferry ticket shortage, but we are at the mercy of the US Navy and their rules and regulations. We hope you were still able to enjoy your time on this beautiful island.
