Itinerary
Much like the rest of Waikiki, the history of this land goes back to the 1400s. Listen as your guide begins your tour with spine-tingling stories of this land's dark past. People come to pay homage to Hawaii’s past, and many believe that these Stones of Life still possess healing powers. See if you can feel anything for yourself!
Pay tribute to Duke Paoa Kahanamoku, one of the island's most famous icons. Often credited with making the art of surfing known throughout the world, we have so many stories to share with you at this stop. You will also be told the legend of the Night Marchers, and how to look out for them on your own.
Being a new hotel, there isn't much history behind this building yet--but that hasn't stopped a few paranormal entities from moving in. We feel the land this hotel was built on must have some emotional energy attached to it...listen, learn, and keep your eyes peeled!
Enjoy and appreciate the neo-Gothic design of this iconic island landmark on our last stop of the standard tour. Your guide has several spooky stories to tell at this final stop before they send you on your way, full of ghost stories and fun facts to share with your friends back home!
As Waikiki was developing and buildings were being constructed, human remains were excavated from various sites throughout the area. This burial mound was created to give the uncovered remains a respectful and proper burial. As such, this is a very active site for paranormal activity. Listen as your guide shares a few more stories with you before concluding the tour.

Our guide Jax was wonderful and knew a lot of information. She took her time and explained the history of the places and items very well. If you are interested in the history with a little mystery of the island I would highly recommend going on a tour.
Jax gave an amazing and fun tour!! Scary as well!! :)
Hi Matt, thank you for your eerie-some review! We’re so glad you had a fun and spooky time with Jax. He has a fantastic way of mixing scares, stories, and entertainment to create a memorable experience. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words, he’ll love hearing them!
Wyatt was very entertaining and knowledgeable. The extended tour was well worth the extra money. I would recommend to anyone.
Hi Andrew, thank you for the kind words! We're so glad you chose the extended tour and found it worth the extra time. Wyatt has a talent for bringing the stories and history to life, and we're thrilled his knowledge and energy made such an impact on your experience. We'll be sure to share your feedback with him, he'll love hearing it!
What a fun night. Wyatt and Jax were the guides and they were very knowledgeable about local legends of the ghostly kind. I had an EMF detector to use during the tour and this added an extra bit of excitement to the experience, as it kept lighting up during the evening. The best part about this tour was the ease of access. I didn’t have to leave the Waikīkī area and part of the tour involved the hotel I was staying in which was creepy.
Hi Sha, thank you for your ghostly awesome review! We’re so glad you had a fun evening with Wyatt and Jax and enjoyed learning about Waikīkī’s ghostly legends. It’s great to hear the EMF detector added an extra layer of excitement, those unexpected spikes always make for memorable moments! Mahalo for joining us and sharing your experience!
Ehm.... I got the sense our guide was quirky and knowledgeable, but really not a good story teller (which I think is the experience you're paying for) and not particularly self-aware or attuned to the group. From reading prior reviews, I have a feeling this tour is really hit or miss depending on your guide. For us, it was a bit of a dud.
We’re very sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. We truly appreciate your feedback and understand how important a guide’s storytelling and engagement are to the tour experience. Please reach out to guestrelations@usghostadventures.com with the name your booking was under, and we’ll be happy to assist you further. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
We had a great tour with Jax as our ghost guide. Interesting stories, friendly conversation, and a little bit of history included.
We really appreciate your review! It’s great to hear that Jax made the tour fun, engaging, and informative. Your compliments will be shared, and we look forward to having you back!
By far a great tour guide. Terry was great . I felt sick and had to leave early but the kids thought it was wonderful. 5 stars . Would recommend
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re sorry you had to cut it short, but we’re happy the kids enjoyed it and that Terry made it memorable. He’ll be glad to hear your kind words. Feel better, and we hope to see you again!
What a waste of money. I’ve done ghost tours all over the US, Canada, and Europe and this was by far the worst. We were told to meet at the Duke Statue and she was waiting by another building with her back turned and no sign. We stopped at 6 places and she talked about conspiracy theories in between stops / at stops. Just look up the history. At the end she hung around until us and a couple tipped. So not only did we spend over 70 CAD on two tickets we tipped 10 usd. The tour was supposed to be an hour and it was stretched to 48 minutes. DONT DO IT.
We’re sorry to hear your experience was not what you expected. We apologize for the mix-up at the meeting point and the tour length. Please email guestrelations@tourismo.com with the name on your booking, and we’ll gladly help resolve this. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Kathryn was pleasant and knowledgeable. She added a lot of history, which I liked. That is really all I have to say in this review.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It’s great to hear Kathryn provided plenty of interesting history and made a positive impression. We’ll let her know. Hope to welcome you back sometime soon!
Terry was very knowledgeable about the area and stories. I love to hear the history of a place when I travel.
Thank you for taking the time to share! We’re pleased Terry’s stories and knowledge made your experience special. We’ll pass on your kind words. Hope to have you back again!
