Full description

This adventure takes you on a journey through a town that's not only rich in history and culture but also steeped in mysticism and the supernatural. Hilo, often referred to as the New Orleans of the Pacific, offers a colorful tapestry of tales, from tragic tsunamis to the spirits they've left behind.

Sample Itinerary:

  • Wailuku River Confluence: Meet your guide at the historical marker and gaze at the Wailuku River, known as the "water of destruction" in Hawaiian. Hear real accounts of tragic incidents linked to supernatural forces.
  • Pacific Tsunami Museum: Explore the museum to learn about wandering spirits following the deadly tidal waves in 1946 and 1960. Discover the traditional Bon Odori dance performed by priests to honor the troubled dead.
  • Palace Theater: Visit the Palace Theater, a site of contemporary ghost stories. Featured on the TV show "Haunted Towns," it's associated with apparitions and ghostly presences.
  • Naha Stone: Encounter the massive Naha Stone, an ancient megalith with a vital role in Hawaiian prophecy.
  • Kalākaua Park: Pay homage to Hawaii's last king, the Merrie Monarch, at his statue in Kalākaua Park. Explore the resurgence of Hawaiian culture under his reign and stay informed about supernatural events during the Merrie Monarch Festival.
  • Jackie Rey's Ohana Grill Hilo: Dine at this popular restaurant, once a Masonic Lodge. Whether due to its enigmatic history or the impact of past tsunamis, today's staff report paranormal activity, adding a mysterious touch to your meal.
