Overview

As the sun sets over Waikiki, we will guide you through a mile-long journey filled with tales of demonic entities, vengeful ghosts, and other supernatural beings that haunt the area. From disturbed graves to soul-sucking Night Marchers, you will uncover the mysteries that have long been hidden in the shadows of this idyllic destination.

Our tours start at 8 PM and will lead you to some of the most haunted and iconic locations in Waikiki, including the Royal Hawaiian Center, Hilton Garden Inn Waikiki Beach, and Sheraton Princess Kaiulani. While we may not be able to enter privately owned buildings, you can be sure that you will be treading on haunted ground throughout the entire evening.

Whether you are a believer in the paranormal or simply seeking a thrilling adventure, our ghost tour of Waikiki promises to be a one-of-a-kind experience that will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the island's rich history and supernatural lore.

ESPACIO The Jewel of Waikiki

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!

Kāhi Hāli'a Aloha Memorial

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.
