Pearl Harbor is the site of the infamous air assault by Japan on December 7, 1941. Today it is still an active Naval Harbor as well as the final resting place of the USS Arizona. The USS Arizona is a memorial to the 1,177 young sailors who died during the Japanese sneak attack on December 7, 1941. Once known for its wealth of pearl oysters, hence the name Pearl Harbor, the area is now a solemn reminder of the tragic day. The visitors center is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily except Christmas, New Years and Thanksgiving. A 23-minute video is shown before you take a short boat ride out to the memorial. The entire experience is about 75 minutes. You can only get the free tickets at the visitors center. However you can pick them up and return at your tour time. No purses or bags of any sort are allowed on the boat - so leave them behind.
Visitors can also tour the USS Missouri Battleship and the Bowfin Submarine.

Even when the surf is rumbling on other nearby beaches Pokai is generally calm. A protective break off shore provides a shield which makes the waters especially safe for swimming with children.

The Wahi'awa Botanical Garden, or "Place of Noise", is cradled between the Wai'anae and Ko'olau mountain ranges in central O'ahu. This garden is known as the "tropical jewel" of the Honolulu Botanical Gardens. This 27-acre garden and forested raven dates back to the 1920's when the land was used by sugar planters as an experimental arboretum.
Touring this garden you will walk among plants that thrive in the cooler, shady, humid environment of this tropical rainforest. This garden is especially noted for its Hawaiian palms, aroid garden, tree ferns, epiphytic and native plants.
