Many people will look at the cost of the inter-island tours and think that it is cheaper to book their own flights. Since there is no extra fee for the boat ride, there are no refunds if this happens. But they won’t be able to disembark the boats and walk on the memorial. They will also be able to see the battleship’s remnants. In these cases, guests may still board boats to the memorial and float past it. Sometimes, during closures that are not related to wind or boat maintenance, the boats will go near the memorial, but not board the memorial. It is out of the control of tour companies. Tour companies do not provide refunds if the Navy boats do not take guests to the Arizona Memorial. We feel that it is still worth visiting Pearl Harbor. The Pearl Harbor visitors center, museums, movies, and exhibits are all part of the experience. If we know in advance that this is happening, then we will do our best to notify you before your tour.īoarding the Arizona Memorial is only one part of a visit to Pearl Harbor.
This can happen as a result of weather conditions, boat mechanical problems, or safety issues at the memorial. There are occasions when the boats do not visit the Arizona Memorial.
