A sacred and humbling place that inspires gratitude and reflection. It’s nestled in the crater of an extinct volcano overlooking Honolulu; a beautiful final resting place for thousands of American service members. The grounds are impeccably maintained. The memorial walls listing the names of those missing in action are especially moving. You truly feel the weight of the sacrifices made by thousands of heroes. The panoramic views add a sense of serenity and perspective. This is a must-visit site in Hawaii for anyone who wants to honor those who served. Thank you to all who rest here. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
One of our last stops on the Home of the Brave Tour was the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, better known as Punchbowl Cemetery. Located inside an extinct volcanic crater overlooking Honolulu, the cemetery serves as the final resting place for thousands of American service members. As we approached the grand staircase and the towering statue of Lady Columbia, our guide explained the cemetery's significance as a place of remembrance for those who served and sacrificed in America's wars. Established after World War II, Punchbowl became the burial site for more than 13,000 American soldiers and Marines who lost their lives in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Many were recovered from battlefields such as Guadalcanal, Saipan, Guam, and Iwo Jima. The cemetery also honors service members from later conflicts, including Korea and Vietnam. Walking through the peaceful grounds provided a solemn opportunity to reflect on the events of December 7, 1941, and the sacrifices made by the men and women who served their country
Such a beautiful reasting place! The viewws of the city of breathtaking. Many people miss this fantastic experience when they go to Honolulu. Don't be one of those people. Whether you go to see the cemetery and its incredible mosaics or you drive up for the views, do yourself a favor. Go spend thirty minutes off the beaten path here.
Colloquially known as "Punchbowl Cemetery", this cemetery is located in the crater of an extinct volcano. The grounds, buildings and chapel are absolutely exquisite. The views of Honolulu, Waikiki Beach and the ocean are spectacular. This is a solemn, peaceful place. Tour buses do not stop here but drive right through so it is best to take your own vehicle to get here.
The military cemetery in an extinct volcanic crater. A major attraction offering the panoramic views of Honolulu and Waikiki.
