Tour dei fantasmi a piedi nella storia infestata di Kailua-Kona
Descrizione
Quando l'alta sacerdotessa Kuiapoiwa II rimase incinta, ebbe uno strano desiderio. A differenza delle madri di oggi, non desiderava sottaceti e gelati, ma desiderava invece gli occhi degli squali. Il capo al potere Alapainui della Big Island riunì i kahuna, sacerdoti della religione tradizionale hawaiana, per spiegare cosa significasse. Profetizzarono che il bambino sarebbe stato famelico come uno squalo sulla terraferma. Alapainui ha cercato di distruggere il bambino alla nascita, ma alla fine il bambino è stato salvato da amici di famiglia. Il bambino sarebbe cresciuto fino a diventare il re Kamehameha, il conquistatore che sconfisse tutti i capi dell'isola e unì le Hawaii sotto il suo dominio. Questa è solo una delle tante storie curiose di Kailua-Kona, una città straordinariamente bella, ancora traboccante di spiriti e creature soprannaturali provenienti dal suo passato mistico. Sotto la superficie della roccia lavica nera ci sono forze antiche che si manifestano nei modi più sorprendenti. Scopri il patrimonio infestato delle Hawaii e ascolta i resoconti dell'attività paranormale unica di Kona.
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
Scopri la bellezza del molo di fronte all'oceano mentre i resoconti di inizio secolo della nave a vapore Mauna Loa e del suo fantasma soffocante ti travolgono. Un liquore a base di foglie di ti chiamato okolehao potrebbe essere stato la cura?
Lasciati stupire dai segreti contenuti nel complesso di Kamehameha dove morì nel 1819. Qual è il significato delle gigantesche statue di legno chiamate ki'i akua?
Scopri il potere segreto di alcuni dei manufatti più sacri del museo. Cos'è un pohaku?
Riflettete sugli strani eventi accaduti in questo ex hotel e sulla speciale eredità della leggenda dello sport hawaiano. I suoi poteri erano soprannaturali?
Visita la prima chiesa cristiana alle Hawaii e scopri miracoli vecchi e nuovi. Cosa fa sì che i pesci si comportino improvvisamente in modo così strano?
Immergiti nei resoconti inquietanti degli ospiti che hanno vissuto soggiorni vivaci negli hotel locali. Chi infesta la costa di Kona?
Approfondisci la storia degli oggetti volanti non identificati visti da questa spiaggia. Non sono quello che pensi? Sono dei, avvertimenti, spiriti dei morti o la temuta maledizione?
Lungi dall’essere semplici decorazioni, i tatuaggi hawaiani incarnano una fede profondamente radicata nell’intreccio tra il regno fisico e quello spirituale.

If you desire to know history of Kona then this is the tour for you. Not so much a ghost tour from previous experiences but informative
A genuinely fun experience. Our guide Heather was very personable and had a wealth of knowledge about the local beliefs and traditions. Hearing the stories in this tour is the difference between "cool scenery" and understanding the significance of the history of the places.
Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this outing to others. Our guide had a few stories but there wasn’t anything too insightful or exceptionally detailed. There was one story about some mysterious deaths but nothing to do with the area we were in. She hadn’t even ever gone into the summer palace museum so couldn’t tell us anything about what we could expect in there as it was closed when we arrived. The tour only ended up being an hour. Overall our guide was nice and it wasn’t completely and hour wasted but I wouldn’t want others to be as disappointed as we were with the experience.
Thank you for your feedback, Lynn. We’re sorry the tour did not meet your expectations. We always aim to provide an engaging blend of local history and haunted storytelling, so we appreciate you sharing where the experience fell short for you. We’ll be reviewing your comments with our team, especially regarding tour depth, pacing, and site context. We’re glad to hear your guide was kind, and we appreciate you joining us.
Pleasant walking tour, lots of stories. Trish was our guide, highly recommend her for your tour. Try to do the afternoon tour for a great view of the sunset.
Mahalo for the great review, Patti! We're so glad you enjoyed the Kona Haunted History Walking Ghost Tour with Trish.
This was a super fun tour! It’s easy, not a lot of walking, and overall really enjoyable. Heather Rose was a wonderful guide 10/10 would recommend!
Thank you so much for the awesome review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a fun time
Our guide Heather did a phenomenal job taking us through several locations in downtown Kona. Very personable. She was very knowledgeable while telling us local stories and informing us of the cultural significance of things. Highly suggest this tour if you are interested in learning more of the history around Hawaii!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Heather made such a great impression and brought Kona’s stories and cultural history to life for you.
Other participants had cancelled so just the 2 of us had a private tour. We enjoyed learning several origin stories about the local area in Kona. Trisha (?) was very knowledgeable and quite the story teller. At the start of the tour she asked if there was someplace we had to be since she sometimes runs long. She also asked what our interest was and we confessed we were not believers of the paranormal. We had selected the tour because there really wasn't much to choose from. So she adapted the tour to downplay the paranormal. We did walk into some areas that yielded numerous bug bites so try to keep your ankles and arms covered if you go. All told, we enjoyed the tour, but wished it had been only 90 minutes long. But we had been asked and warned about the time frame, so our own fault. Our guide was great!!
Thank you so much for joining us on the Kailua-Kona Haunted History Tour and for sharing such a thoughtful review! We’re glad you enjoyed the origin stories and that Trisha was able to tailor the experience to your interests she really is a fantastic storyteller. We appreciate you noting the longer run time as well. Our guides always check in at the start since some guests enjoy the extended version, but we completely understand that a shorter tour might have been a better fit for you. All in all, we’re happy you had a great time and hope we get to show you more Kona history and hauntings in the future
Knowledgeable travel guide. Adjusted on the fly to the individuals in the group. Good stories and helpful information about the Kona area.
Thanks so much! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and that our guide could make it personal for everyone 👻 Kona’s history is full of stories, and we love sharing them!
The guide did not show up at meeting place at the set time and place! I called and they said he had an emergency and had to cancel! He did not inform me! I asked for and was granted refund but still had to pay $30 for parking!
We’re truly sorry for the inconvenience you experienced with your tour. Our guide had an unexpected emergency and we understand how frustrating it must have been to arrive without notice. We’re glad we were able to process your refund, and we completely understand the extra cost of parking was disappointing. Your feedback helps us improve our communication for future tours, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
This guide is incredibly knowledgeable! Ask her all about Hawaiian history and culture and religion!! Truly just an astounding experience!! Tricia is the one you want🥰
