Spooky indeed
At the end of the tour, the guide suggested somebody walk me home. I thought that odd and I told him I was ok and didn’t need to be walked home. There was only one other couple on the tour and they did not seem to want to have anything to do with walking me home.Then I proceeded to walk by a variety of homeless camps. And I realized it really was not a great place to be left in the dark at the end of the tour. I also found him to be very unpleasant directly towards me. I don’t know if he was having a bad day, if it was part of the spooky shtick, or if I somehow rubbed him the wrong way. I was there on time and I was excited for the experience, but ultimately it was not a great one. He oddly was continually interacting with the couple over chatting with me and he basically kept turning his back on me for most of the tour as he engaged with that couple - who were nice. It was a really weird experience that I would not recommend for a solo female traveler. The couple seemed to have a nice time so it may have just been a one off experience.

Aloha Fredda. Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m disappointed to hear that you came away from the evening with this impression of the tour. I do want to clarify a couple of points, since your experience was quite different from what I normally hear from guests. At the end of the evening, I suggested that you consider having someone walk with you because it was late and I wanted to make sure you got back safely. This was offered out of concern for your safety, not because I intended to leave you in an unsafe situation. I’m sorry you felt excluded or that I was unpleasant toward you. That is certainly not the experience I intend to provide. After nearly thirty years of doing this and receiving so many wonderful reviews from our guests, it is unusual to hear that characterization of my tours. With such a small group, conversation can naturally shift between guests, but I make every effort to include everyone. I appreciate that you recognized the other couple appeared to enjoy the experience, and I’m sorry you felt that your experience was different.

Ghost Tours are always fun for us!
We loved the stories, we would have liked more of a walk and seeing things in person, rather than pictures on the ipad. Otherwise it was spooky and fun.

Super great ghost tour!...
Super great ghost tour! Lopaka was an amazing guide and you could really tell he had a connection to the stories and pieces of culture he shared with us. Certainly spooky but very also informative and interesting! It was very laid back and a nice change from all the action packed adventures that are offered on the island. Highly recommend!
