Honolulu- Park Ranger led bus programs to the USS Oklahoma and USS Utah Memorials on Ford Island are back!

Ford Island Bus Tours are back and are available for reservations on recreation.gov. The 90-minute Ford Island Bus Program will run Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and depart from the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center at 3:15 p.m. To reserve your seat visit: https://www.recreation.gov/ticket/facility/10089185

For the remainder of 2022, our non-profit partner Pacific Historic Parks has offered to help keep the Ford Island Bus Program tour reservation fees at a reduced cost. Reservations will require a $1 per person reservation fee. This fee is charged and kept by recreation.gov; it does not transfer to the National Park Service.

Reservations are required for all participants, including infants and children. Reservations are required and are non-transferable as the USS Oklahoma and USS Utah Memorials are located on Ford Island, an active-duty military installation. This program is for free and independent travelers only; not for commercial/for-profit tour groups or coordinators. There is no standby availability for this program at this time. Tours may be canceled on short notice due to base security concerns.

For accessibility needs e-mail [email protected], participants should plan on walking short distances on some uneven and grassy areas, as well as be prepared for inclement weather.

The Ford Island Bus Program does not include access to the USS Arizona Memorial. To reserve tickets for the USS Arizona Memorial, please visit the Arizona Memorial Program page on Recreation.gov.
