Itinerary
In 1809, Kamehameha I, who had been living at Waikiki which was once Hawaii's Royal Seat, moved his Royal Residence to Pākākā at Honolulu Harbor. Soon the area became the center for trading and, after Kamehameha the Great's death, the Royal Residence was moved again to the current location of Iolani Palace. Hundreds of years of history and hauntings reside in this Downtown area. From the Kamehameha Statue, we will walk to several buildings in the immediate vicinity and learn some of the haunted history that surrounds us.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made things very interesting. We got to understand a lot of cool things about the paranormal.
Lots of historical information about the past Hawaiian activities on the Island. Very easy communication with Mr. Kapanui and a wealth of knowledge. The length of the walk was just right, and learning about the spirits still lingering today. Overall, a great tour and would recommend for anyone interested in the history and paranormal aspect of Oahu.
We had a great time on the Ghosts of Old Honolulu Walking tour. Lopaka, our guide, is a fantastic story teller. There were parts that were a little spooky, and parts that were fun. It was unlike any ghost tour I have been on before. Would recommend.
We enjoyed his enthusiasm to give jump scares and the lore and stories that he shared with us was very interesting and entertaining.
