Though Hawaii often has a beach appeal and is thought of as a tropical oasis, it has seen its own tumultuous times in history, one of which is Pearl Harbor. You can learn more about the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 and how that impacted World War II on Honolulu cruise excursions to the historic military base.

In addition to the island’s history and culture, the beach life abounds on Oahu, and Honolulu shore excursions that go to local beaches are a fun and relaxing way to spend the day there. Embark on an excursion to Oahu’s gorgeous North Shore to lounge on the sand, or do a scenic drive that takes you past stunning beaches as well as volcanic craters and lava landmarks.
