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.
