What To Expect

Kona Inn Shopping Village

Built on ancients grounds, the Kona Inn was responsible for ushering in the era of tourism in Kona. The site was formerly home to King Kamehameha II and is known as "papa'ula" or "red flats" as there may have been human sacrifice here as well. End the tour with a cleansing sage smudge at the new Big Island Ghost Tours booth.

Hulihe'e Palace

Will the ghostly "lady in white" of the palace show herself again? Was it Pele, or Princess Kaiulani? We've witnessed her on tour once before...and then she disappeared!

Mokuaikaua Hawaii's 1st Christian Church

The lava rock cornerstones of Hawaii's very first Christian church were formerly part of an ancient Hawaiian temple, built hundreds of years in the past. This newly introduced religion eventually led to events that are considered Hawaii's civil war and the end of the ancient Kapu system.

Ahuena Heiau

A former sacrificial heiau (luakini) dedicated to the god Ku where human sacrifice was performed, then later rededicated by King Kamehameha to the god Lono as a temple of peace.

Kamakahonu Beach

This is the location where King Kamehameha I transitioned into the next life, and also the site of ancient human sacrifice.

Kailua Pier

The central meeting place in downtown Kona, where missionaries arrived bringing western religion to the islands.

I was very disappointed with my experience trying to book a tour with Kona Supernatural Tours. We had originally scheduled a ghost tour for Monday evening, but received a text message from the owner, Zach, asking if we would be willing to reschedule to the following night, as he had made prior plans with his girlfriend to watch a movie. While I was delayed in responding, as I was driving at the time, Zach then cancelled the tour altogether, stating that it "didn't seem like it would work." When I asked if the next evening option was still available, as he had originally offered, his response was unprofessional and unwarranted. He accused me of being unwilling to accommodate him, and went as far as calling me "a joke." What's more, when I expressed my concerns, Zach dismissively told me, "leave a review, it won't matter much." This gross attitude towards customer feedback is extremely troubling and indicative of a company that does not value its clientele. I understand plans can change, but Zach's unprofessional and dismissive attitude in handling the situation was quite disappointing. I would caution others looking to book a ghost tour in Kona to reconsider using this company , as it seems they do not prioritize customer service or maintaining a professional demeanor when issues arise. It's unfortunate, as the tour concept seemed intriguing, but the owner's behavior has left a sour taste. I would recommend exploring other ghost tour options in the Kona area.

We had a great time learning about the history of past residents of the area, some who still hang around in spirit. It was great to hear about the islands belief in respect of your surroundings and how the spirits enforce that attitude. Thank you for a fun time with the group and our "ghost app"

My husband & I really enjoyed learning the history of Kona which provided the background for the haunted tour. Zach our guide was so knowledgeable & also passionate about the material he presented along the way. He was so nice, respectful to our group & the island. Do yourself a favor & book this trio if you’re looking to spend an evening doing something out of the ordinary while also learning the history of Kona.
