Itinerary

  1. 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!

  2. 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.

    12 min

  3. 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!

    12 min

  4. 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!

    12 min

  5. 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.

About Oahu

Oahu pairs Waikiki's famous beach and Honolulu's city life with volcanic craters, rainforest valleys and the legendary surf of its North Shore.

Waikiki's crescent of sand, backed by hotels and the volcanic crater of Diamond Head, is the island's classic image, and the hike to the crater rim gives sweeping views. Downtown Honolulu holds ʻIolani Palace, home of Hawaiʻi's last monarchs, and the memorials at Pearl Harbor, including the USS Arizona Memorial, recall the attack of 1941.

Top-ranked sights in Oahu: Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, Dole Plantation.
