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.

We had a wonderful time learning the historical stories. Zach was so informative and had patience with my 8 year old son who has so many questions about the history and the Paranormal activity that has been occurring

Zack is the sweetest! He called me back immediately after I emailed him, 6 hours prior to the tour & was very informative on how to meet up with him. Since this is our first time in Hawaii, that was reassuring. His passion and expertise that he offers with the accuracy of the historical information and stories of Kailua-Kona & the King... Such interesting & rich cultural significance of the island's history. And Wow! We even caught a couple of pics of an apparition at the palace, center balcony window, in complete darkness! I was shocked, but, it was there! He even used certain devices to try & pick up any communication from any spirits that might want to contact us. SUPER FUN & AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT! Wear your walking shoes & bring a good camera with multiple burst shot capability... TRUST ME, YOU WON'T BE SORRY!!! & he signed our book, too...
