We had a great time learning some of the darker history of Honolulu. A orange kitty followed us everywhere and our guide was a wonder storyteller!

"Lopaka" Kapanui of the Mysteries of Hawaii is the ultimate best of Hawaii's legend to share our Hawaiian historical stories of time past! You are experiencing a true living treasure and a professional story teller of our Hawaiian kupunas. This esteemed & renowned Ghost Story Teller is a tribute to Glenn Grant who started telling our true stories of Old Hawaii. The same stories Lopaka grew up with like other Hawaiians, whose kupunas told the stories orally. Hats off to Trip Advisor for offering this true Hawaiian tours. The only hope is that attendees pay for their children & not think it's a freebie; especially when they disrupt the feeling of the tour. Children are not appropriate for these tours & it breaks the true experience. Also, in these days, children no matter the age must pay for a ticket.🤦‍♀️

Went with the family and had a great time! Lopaka was awesome and an excellent story teller. There was a lot of history mixed with legends of Hawaii. Might be a little scary for younger kids but still worth taking them. It’s all centered around the government buildings so minimal walking. Highly recommend!

Lopaka is a great storyteller, and we learned some interesting history along with the ghost stories. It was a super easy walk around the square, and you get to hear some really cool ghost stories!

Fantastic! Excellent mix of history, ghost stories and culture. Our tour guide was brilliant - a true bard, weaving stories and experiences into exciting narratives. He was also conscious that there were two 10-year-old children in the group, and he let us know that the adults could walk with him between stops for the more gruesome details if they liked, but he was leaving them out of the main narratives. If you're into paranormal things, this is for you (but take your meds before you go - it's a bit interactive). If you're a bit of a cynic, enjoy the creepy ride! It's a great way to spend an evening in Honolulu.

This tour is enthralling! It’s so interesting to learn ghost stories from other cultures and to be able to walk the paths of some of the royalty that lived in our most beautiful state. Highly recommend.

It’s not just scary stories but had a lot of cultural history woven in along with activities we don’t want to spoil. Recommended

Our guide Lopaka was amazing! We had a great time learning about the history, hauntings and culture. It was immersive and fun! Highly recommend anyone to take a tour and check it out (:

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.

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!

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.

There were some really interesting stories and sharing - but I wish there had been a little more history, and a little more talk about the history of the locations, and less time spent on what occurred during previous tours. Additional - need a better method for sharing images / videos, as it was pretty hard to see in such a large group. I did really enjoy the interactive pieces.

Excellent content well presented even in a large group. Assistants helped those at the fringes keep up with the short walk (around two city blocks). Ample opportunities to take photographs and videos.

We thought the tour was really informative and interactive. If we could make a suggestion: find a way to project the photos and videos on the tour leader’s phone and I-pad onto a white screen where all participants could get a good look at the images.

Great history but not much in regards to ghost tour. Presenter was very dramatic and attempted scary.
