In the Pacific Theater of Operations the turning point in favor of the Allied forces came during the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway in mid 1942. After the Battle of Midway the US Navy and its allies (Australia in particular) were able to launch a counter offensive against the Japanese Navy and Army. See link below. Now I should tell you the turning point of the Pacific war were South West of Hawaii. The battles north west of Hawaii were in the Alaskan Aleutian Islands but those battles were not the turning points of the Pacific war. I have added links about Alaska for you too.
