When the high priestess Kuiapoiwa II became pregnant she had a strange craving. Unlike the mothers of today, she didn't desire pickles and ice cream, but instead hungered for the eyes of sharks. The ruling chief Alapainui of the Big Island gathered kahunas, priests of traditional Hawaiian religion, to explain what this meant. They prophesied that the child would be as ravenous as a shark on land. Alapainui sought to destroy the baby at birth, but the chlild was ultimately rescued by family friends. The child would grow up to become King Kamehameha, the conquerer who defeated all the island chiefs and united Hawaii under his rule. This is just one of many curious tales from Kailua-Kona, a stunningly beautiful town, still overflowing with spirits and supernatural creatures from its mystical past. Beneath the surface of black lava rock are ancient forces that manifest in the most surprising ways. Discover Hawaii's haunted heritage and hear accounts of Kona's unique paranormal activity.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Kailua-Kona Haunted History Walking Ghost Tour?

A: The tour is suitable for all ages, but it’s best for kids aged 10 and up since some stories can be a bit spooky. Just make sure to keep an eye on younger ones, as the tour involves walking on uneven terrain. Plus, it’s a great way to introduce them to the fascinating history of Hawaii!

Q: What's the best time of year to do the ghost tour?

A: The best time for the Kailua-Kona Haunted History Walking Ghost Tour is during the fall, especially around Halloween! The weather is usually perfect, and the spooky vibes are in full swing. However, tours run year-round, so if you’re there in summer, just bring plenty of water and sunscreen.

Q: How physically demanding is the walking tour? What should I wear?

A: The Kailua-Kona tour is pretty laid-back, but expect to walk for about 1.5 to 2 hours. Wear comfortable shoes since the terrain can be uneven. As for clothing, light layers are best because it might get a bit chilly in the evening. Don’t forget a light jacket just in case!

Just did the Kailua-Kona ghost tour—so cool!

I went on the Kailua-Kona Haunted History Walking Ghost Tour last week, and it was such a blast! Our guide was super knowledgeable and shared some really eerie stories about the town's past. The highlight had to be hearing about King Kamehameha's crazy beginnings while standing on the very streets he roamed. If you’re looking for a unique gift idea, this is perfect. Just a heads up, wear comfy shoes because you'll be walking around a lot!

Considering the ghost tour as a surprise for my partner!

I’m thinking of booking the Kailua-Kona Haunted History Walking Ghost Tour for my partner’s birthday. She loves ghost stories and history. Has anyone done it recently? Any tips on how to make it even more special? Maybe a picnic afterward or something?
