2-Hour Hilo Ghost Walks Tour

Overview

The New Orleans of the Pacific, Hilo is a colorful, historic mural-filled town, home to music, ghosts, and magic. The scene of devastating tsunamis and the wandering spirits they leave in their wake, Hilo's crescent-shaped bay also saw the launch of King Kamehameha's 800 war canoes in his quest to unite the major Hawaiian Islands. The annual Merrie Monarch Festival stirs the ancestors and is ground zero for curses dealt by rival hula dancers. Discover the local history of unique paranormal activity including contemporary stories of encounters with Hawaiian deities such as the fiery goddess of the volcanoes, Pele, and Mo'oinanea, the queen of the mo'o, fierce local guardians, who are half-human and half-dragon. This tropical destination is prone to rain, so each guest receives a complimentary rain poncho on request.

What To Expect

Wailuku River State Park

The storied “waters of destruction” are home to fearsome tales, but are also often visited by placid sea turtles, needle fish, and other picturesque creatures of the sea, where these waters meet the Pacific.

Palace Theater

As seen on the TV series Haunted Towns, this historic theater, built in 1925, is the scene of contemporary ghost reports.

Kalakaua Park

A massive banyan tree, a large lotus-adorned reflecting pool, and a statue of Hawaii’s last king, are the backdrop for supernatural stories surrounding the annual Merrie Monarch Festival.

Pacific Tsunami Museum

Dedicated to those killed by devastating tidal waves in Hilo, the museum is the perfect place to discuss the waves of ghost sightings that followed as well as the Buddhist ritual used to dispel them.

Naha Stone

Mammoth, ancient megaliths brought by canoe from a Hawaiian temple in Kauai play an important role in a prophecy about the unification of the Hawaiian Islands.

This tour was fantastic and so much more than we expected! The haunted portion of the tour was very interesting, but we were blown away by our guide's knowledge of island history and culture. We asked a lot of questions and she didn't miss a beat. She spoke of people from hundreds of years ago as if she knew them personally, and events as if she'd witnessed them herself. Highly recommended!

The tour guide asking if we have encountered any ghosts in our life. Great thing to do when you want to find some historical info about a place.
