The USS Bowfin Submarine Museum is located just inside the the Visitor Center, so you can walk to it before / after touring the USS Missouri or the Air Museum on Ford Island. I decided to do a quick …Full review by achan60

It would take a special breed of men to live and operate these old submarines. Amazing history you can actually walk down into (if your not claustrophobic that is). Well worth the visit if your in th…Full review by WanderingFarmer

While on a tour to Pearl harbor it was mentioned we could go see the Bowfin. We would recommend the tour with the self audio. We so enjoyed learning more history as well as what the life of a navy s…Full review by Kkwaa
How long is the tour and what time is the pickup from Waikiki Sheraton? The description did not mention a time and I could not understand the agent from aviator.

It's about a 25-minute drive from Waikiki to the Arizona Memorial. It takes about 3-hours to see the Arizona Memorial and all the stuff around. First thing you have to do is get tickets for the show and the boat ride out to the Memorial. On a busy day you could show up at 8 a.m. and be getting tickets for the afternoon show/sailing. Weekdays are best. Lots of stuff to walk around and see while you wait for your showtime to come up. No cost to the Arizona, minimal charge to the USS Bowfin (I think $3). ABSOLUTELY NO BAGS allowed inside the Arizonia Memorial. Plan ahead. This is for security reasons. Wednesday, Saturday & Sunday is the Aloha Bowl Swap Meet just up the hill (north) - closes at 3:00 p.m. 10-minute walk or a 2-minute drive. pearlharborhistoricsites. org/ pearl-harbor/ arizona-memorial

The submarine isn’t that busy so you should be able to get in on any day. Just take your voucher to the entrance counter (make sure it is the counter for the submarine as there are several). They will ticket you there and you will be able to go back to the exhibit from there.
Getting through the doors of the submarine was difficult for my husband with back and leg problems and for myself with a foot that I have to wear a brace on. Once we figured out how to do it, it was okay. This should be pointed out to people who may have disabilities. Was a very good tour and well worth it. It was not crowded the day we were there, so we were able to take our time.

Thanks for adding this information. I too have back problems (the reason I had to quit caving) and you are right, lack of a crowd allowed enough time to relearn to negotiate the hatches, and it was worth it for me.
