6 NIGHTS
Location: Honolulu
The Twin Fin Hotel is on Kalakaua Avenue, just steps away from the renowned Waikiki beach, a vibrant gathering place for visitors from around the world. We’re on the mellow Diamond Head side of Waikiki, but only a short stroll to unique eateries and iconic attractions. As a gathering place for guests to discover local music, art, and a lasting connection with the community that surrounds them, you’ll find refreshed guestrooms, updated design, and authentic experiences rooted in Hawaiian culture in our revitalized hotel. And of course, front-row views overlooking Waikiki Beach.

USS Missouri Memorial
Visit Site
1 NIGHT
Location: Honolulu
The overnight encampment aboard the USS Missouri offers a rare and unique opportunity to visit areas of the battleship normally off limits to visitors. Participants will gain insight to the many different systems and pieces of equipment aboard this historic battleship. Some Interesting Facts: Designing the Missouri took 175 tons of blueprint paper. The ship was built in three years and required over 3 million man-days to complete the job. For comparison’s sake, the Missouri is 279 feet longer and 11 feet wider than the USS Arizona. The Mighty Mo is also 5 feet longer and 18 feet wider than the RMS Titanic. Just how big is the Missouri? If you could stand the ship on end, it would be 332 feet taller than the Washington Monument. The nine 16-inch guns are the Mighty Mo’s trademark feature. Each gun barrel is 65 feet long, weighs an incredible 116 tons, and can fire a 2,700-pound shell 23 miles in 50 seconds – with pinpoint accuracy. The Missouri was the last battleship ever built. It was also the most formidable. Along with its firepower was a thick steel armor plating that protected the hull (13.5 inches), the gun turrets (17 inches in front; 13 inches on the sides), the citadel (17 inches), and the conning tower sides (17.3 inches).
