Explore Pearl Harbor’s submarine history with museum admission, interactive exhibits, an audio guide, and access to the USS Bowfin.

About this tour

Step into the story of the U.S. Navy’s Silent Service at the Pacific Fleet Submarine Museum in Pearl Harbor. This admission brings you aboard the USS Bowfin, a World War II submarine known as the “Pearl Harbor Avenger,” and into exhibits that trace submarine history from the Pacific conflict through the Cold War.

Explore the museum’s interactive displays, then walk through the USS Bowfin to get a sense of life aboard a vessel whose crew numbered 80. The submarine launched on December 7, 1942, and completed nine war patrols in the Pacific during World War II. A complimentary audio guide, available through the free mobile app, shares stories and context aboard the submarine, inside the museum, and at selected outdoor artifacts.

Your visit also includes access to the museum campus, with a gift shop, comfort station, shaded lanai, food truck, and other concessions. The USS Bowfin’s confined spaces may not suit everyone, and children under 4 are not permitted. Discover Pearl Harbor’s submarine history at your own pace with this museum and submarine admission.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.57 from 25 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Oahu
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.7.
