Overview
Explore Kona’s supernatural side on a two-hour guided walk of haunted legends, from Night Marchers to choking ghosts!
When night falls in Kailua Kona, the oceanfront quiets and the stories of the island awaken. This guided walk takes you into the supernatural heart of Hawai'i's first capital, where ancient spirits and modern encounters blend beneath the palms. Hear the legends of the Night Marchers and learn why people still fear their torchlit processions.
Explore historic buildings where shop employees have seen figures vanish around corners and heard footsteps echo long after closing time. Listen to tales of the choking ghost and the eerie heaviness felt by visitors who wake unable to move. Walk past sites once used for sacred rituals where many report chills and a sense of being watched.
Along the shoreline, you will hear stories of royal apparitions, mysterious warnings, and travelers who met the spirit of Pele in human form. By the end of the walk, Kailua Kona feels transformed, alive with centuries of lore and encounters that linger long after the tour ends.
