USS Arizona-Keehi Lagoon-Honolulu Duck Tour
Oahu Duck Tours are unavailable until the beginning of August 2010.
Oahu Duck tours begin with guests boarding onto our mini-bus from major hotels and heading to the wonderful historic area, Pearl Harbor, and spend some time at the USS Arizona Memorial Visitor Center. There you will see impressive historical exhibits and a short film about the actual bombing of the harbor on December 7, 1941. No trip of Oahu Activities is complete without Oahu Duck Tours of Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona. After the film a shuttle boat will ferry you out to the USS Arizona Memorial, which was built directly above the sunken ruins of the battleship on which 2,400 US service personnel lost their lives as a result of that infamous day of bombing. Make sure that your schedule of Oahu Activities includes this one of the Oahu Tours.
Your Oahu Tours excursion is just beginning. When you return to shore, it will be time to go swimming with the Duck! You will hop aboard the Duck which will then drive you and your party right into the water. When the Duck leaves land it turns immediately into an absolutely effective boat. You will then cruise across the Keehi Lagoon before returning to shore to see some of landlocked treasures of your Oahu Activities: Waikiki, Diamond Head, and downtown Honolulu. Visitors get lots of photo opportunities at the state capitol, Iolani Palace, and other wonderful and historic buildings. You will tell your friends that Oahu Activities should always include Oahu Duck Tours.
