Ford Island access & the shuttle

The public uses the historic-sites shuttle from the visitor center for Missouri and the aviation museum. Eligible visitors with base access should check current driving rules. The NPS Ford Island Bus Tour is a different reserved program.

Bags, identification & accessibility

Read the current bag policy before leaving your lodging. Check identification requirements for Ford Island programs and ask the relevant museum about accessible routes. Submarine interiors, specialty ship tours and the tower have different physical constraints.

A respectful, unhurried visit

Allow shuttle and check-in time between reservations. Keep memorial visits quiet and respectful. Check for weather, operational or security cancellations close to departure.

Military, veterans & kamaʻāina

Ask each museum or your military ticket office about current offers and required ID. Discounts differ by venue, and military status does not automatically include every attraction or specialty tour.
