Lots of informational displays to walk around. There is some interactive stuff, but younger kids get board pretty quick. The tour of the submarine is pretty fun and you get to see how tight space is/…Full review by Snakewrangler

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.
A:
The Bowfin itself is just a self-guided walkthrough. It really depends when you go/how busy it is. We went during off-season and it took us about 20-30 minutes.

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.
Q:
When you purchase a ticket for a certain day, do you have to go at a particular time like you do for the Arizona Memorial?
A:
I don't think so. I recall waiting for the Arizona film to start and then going out to the site but I think for the submarine you just go whenever.
