Chilling Stories and Great Guide - Went with my husband on Valentines, there was only 1 other person in our group. Good insight into the history and some spooky stories were told. Our guide was really informative and kept the tour interesting.

Memorable and magical - For two longtime fans of Lopaka Kapanui, the Ghosts of Old Honolulu tour exceeded our already very high expectations! Lopaka is a captivating storyteller, keeping us all hooked for this 90-minute tour. Regardless of your views on the spirit world, you will be moved by his deep respect for every person whose story he tells, as well as Hawaii’s beautiful traditions. He was also kind enough to sign my well-worn copy of his book, Mysteries of Hawaii. I will definitely take another tour the next time I am fortunate enough to visit Oahu!

Surprisingly not what I expected - I have been on ghost tours before this particular tour was one step further into the supernatural than I expected.

Authentic True Crime Tour - It was okay. The beginning was good, it has some Hawaiian history and I felt I was learning a bit but the latter half fell off a bit and dragged. The orator focused on violence rather than paranormal stuff, felt very 'true crime' rather than ghosty at times. Not appropriate for kids (graphic, violent). I think you will really enjoy this tour if you like hearing about true crime. Take a drink everytime he says 'this place is only haunted at 4am so you'll need to come back if you want to see anything' (at least ~4 times). He is an excellent storyteller! And I loved hearing him speak actual Hawaiian which sounded very authentic! A little too many photos being shown, often very blurry and hard to believe. No ghost hunting equipment provided.
