This walking tour focuses on the haunted history of Honolulu through a route of about one mile and lasting around one hour. The guide shares documented ghost stories and accounts of paranormal activity at several key locations. The tour begins at Iolani Palace, built in 1879 and known as a sacred place where the last Hawaiian queen resisted overthrow. Visitors learn about the palace’s role in Hawaii’s only monarchy coup and the lingering spirit said to watch over the city. Next, the group moves to the Red Rainbow intersection, known locally as Kaua’nona’ula, where multiple ghost sightings have been reported despite no recorded historic events. The walk continues past the Atlas Insurance building, noted for reports of a ghostly woman in a white kimono and other haunting tales. The former Supreme Court site, opened in 1871 and once an orphanage, is another stop where stories of children’s laughter and spirits of executed criminals are shared. The tour also visits Hawaii’s first Christian Church cemetery, the oldest in the state, where strange sounds and sightings of a young boy’s ghost have been reported. Finally, the route includes two of Hawaii’s oldest missionary homes, now a historic museum, where visitors hear about ghost sightings of women in period dress and children’s noises. The tour is conducted by a knowledgeable local guide and runs nightly year-round. All fees and taxes are included, but tips, food, drinks, and transport are not provided.
