Great experience and history of Oahu. - Lots of historical information about the past Hawaiian activities on the Island. Very easy communication with Mr. Kapanui and a wealth of knowledge. The length of the walk was just right, and learning about the spirits still lingering today. Overall, a great tour and would recommend for anyone interested in the history and paranormal aspect of Oahu.

Informative and fun! - We had a great time on the Ghosts of Old Honolulu Walking tour. Lopaka, our guide, is a fantastic story teller. There were parts that were a little spooky, and parts that were fun. It was unlike any ghost tour I have been on before. Would recommend.
