Mysteries of Hawai‘i Ghost Tours
Want to hear about the night marchers of Kapolei and walk where they walk? If so, we not only applaud your chutzpa, but we suggest signing up for one of Lopaka Kapanui’s famous ghost tours. Known as “The Ghost Guy,” Kapanui is an expert storyteller who studied under Glen Grant, the original teller of obake tales. Follow Kapanui as he guides you through the plains of Kaupe‘a, Sacred Sands of Waikiki, alleys of Downtown Honolulu and other notorious haunts while revealing spine-chilling stories of murder, horror and mystery. A piece of advice? Bring Hawaiian salt to throw over your left shoulder before you enter your house, because the only spirits you want around for Halloween are Jack Daniels and Jose Cuervo.
$40 per person, starting locations vary. For more info, call (808) 673-9099 or visit mysteries-of-hawaii.com
