    Our tour guide
    Maya G.

    I would definitely do the other haunt experience if possible. The man that was doing our tour was not great, definitely info-dumping and the souvenirs were half wrong!! Felt a little unprofessional.

    If this is your tour "guide". Stop him, and call the tour company this is not a real guide.
    Sandy M.

    This specific tour did not include a pub crawl. The "host" did not identify himself as being part of the tour he just started telling stories in front of the meeting statue. We stood for 20 minutes listening to his stories and didn't move until 21 minutes into this "tour". We walked a few blocks to a bank that was another place of "interest". We stood there for another 13 minutes and listened to a story. We walked back to the statue where the tour ended. I had purchased extra add on ghost monitoring devices that we did not receive, and I pre-tipped the "guide" for standing in place for almost the entire tour. I also pre paid for a plush ghost that I did not receive. I will NEVER book another tour through TripAdvisor. After I wrote them about my experience, they refused to refund me without an explanation.

    Our tour guide Maggie was very knowledgeable and personable. We took extended tour and would definitely recommend the experience.

    Eve was my tour guide and was very attentive (gave a curtisy text with directions in case we couldn't find the meet up location). Also very knowledgeable and gave lots details throughout, while also allowing time for questions. I highly recommend and it is okay for pre-teens/ teens if you want to make it a family affair.

    Meet up point. King Kamehameha

    Getting there early waiting for my tour guide Maggie I had the opportunity to stand in front of the statue of king Kamehameha looking at the palace behind me. It was a nice calm before taking the tour. Not knowing I was near a few hotspots for supernatural activity. Ignorance is bliss in my tour guide. Maggie shows up with this energy of excitement, wearing a smile on her face. My initial thought was she is super excited to be scaring some people, but come to find out. Maggie is a schoolteacher that loves telling stories, and it shows she's amazing at setting the scene telling a story, her excitement and love her history make me excited and wanting to learn more. The tour itself was very interesting. I'm not sure if I believe in supernatural things, but the tour made me curious and want to do my own research at one point we were walking by a building, and I thought I was suffering from a hangover from the previous night of the bar crawl so I was feeling nauseous and as we were walking and went away the tour guy Maggie was surprised that none of us threw up at that spot because she said most people get really nauseous standing at that building because of the energy . Imagine, sitting around a campfire telling ghost stories with someone who loves telling stories, and the stories are actually historical facts.

    The palace, where are the queen was under house arrest in the right-hand bedroom for 8 months.

    It was interesting, apparently it's more for tourists than people that live here. They gave a lot of the history of King Kamehameha and his wife. It also gave us some of the history on the island of when it was a territory versus a state or versus a monarchy or versus a chieftain. This is not an EVP type experience. They don't take you to a given haunted location and ask you to do recordings or try to communicate with a ghost in anyway. This is almost more of a historical walk than a ghost adventure. They did a good job and they were very polite and pleasant,. But if you're actually looking to have a physical type ghost experience this likely is not what you're looking for. It is an enjoyable tour.

    This was an amazing ghost tour. We have done ghost tours everywhere (New Orleans, St. Augustine, Rome, etc.) and this was by far one of the best. Brent was our guide and he was the perfect storyteller, weaving history & facts into eerie tales of the past & present. And paying for the extra part of the tour was totally worth it. The tour was very safe and had limited walking with great views of beautiful buildings at night. We passed cops and security guards at every turn, so we felt well protected. Brent also was great with our young daughter and even helped get us back to our hotel. I would recommend this company and tour to anyone.

    Brent, thank you for taking us on this wild ride. We had an amazing time. This ghost story tour was exactly what we needed. As a professional storyteller myself I know exactly what goes into this kind of preparation. Brent was professional and engaging at every point of our haunts tour. Would highly recommend and I'd do it again in a heart beat. Experiences you ask? Yes! I got touched on the shoulder near the missionary building and my wife was poked in the back during the House of Honolulu story. One of my pictures at the tree also caught a crooked boy staring back at us. Check it out down below. :)

    Just finished the evening tour with Maggie aka Daphne and really enjoyed listening to her very well detailed and spooky stories about downtown Oahu. I extremely recommend!

The admission to the museum was pricey, even for Kama'aina, so we opted to get the Family Membership instead. The membership was for 2 adults and up to 4 kids, and also has discounts for other exhibits. After a quick sweep through the museum, and a wary observation of the flight simulator, the grandson decided it was time to eat. I got the Blue Angels Burger and he got the kids hot dog meal. I'd say the prices were reasonable, considering how much takeout and restaurant food costs these days. The burger was fat as hell and the dog wasn't Costco sized but definitely satisfied the kid. I didn't get pics of the food because I was too enthralled over the size of the patty! We spent the day also visiting the Mighty Mo, the Virtual Reality tour, and gift shop shopping also.

    On Ford island and on an active military base. Which means 1. you cannot drive onto the base unless…read moreyou have a valid ID card. Buses are provided for free to each museum and visitor center. 2. You cannot bring a handbag unless it is clear see through or the size of a checkbook. You need to check it into a "locker" for $7.33. I understand that active military base, but not publishing on the website regarding the bag restrictions and then forcing people to pay it just not right. But oh well. Plan accordingly because while the buses run every 15 minutes, you need to wait. The museum is $30 entry fee but keep in mind 3/4 of the museum is currently closed for renovation. For $30 it is a bit pricey but because of the buses and the amount of employees, i understand the high price tag. 2 stars. The deep history and the significance of this place and the men and women that gave their lives makes this a 5 star must see to show your respect. Museum: very small but well done with restored planes recovered from the war. There was a Blue Angels pilot shared his experience. I was able to catch the last 5 minutes. The employees are very knowledgeable and willing to share stories. I read everything and was done in roughly 45 minutes. The museum is very small - 4 stars. Here is my recommendation: Come the visitor center it is free. Check that out and read everything. See the Submarine from the outside because it is free. Then jump on the bus because it is free. While you are driving to the warship, you pass the Arizona Memorial. Snap a photo and show your respect. Get off at the warship. Walk around the warship it is free. Then jump back on the bus and go to the Aviation museum. Again free. Walk around the outside and see the airplanes it is free. There is a gigantic helicopter it is free. Go to the back and look in the backside to get perspective. Then just back on the bus and go back to the visitor center it is free. If anyone says anything to you, go to the cafe/restaurant across from the Aviation Museum.

I found him through TripAdvisor when I was seaching for a private circle tour. We were a group of two, and I wanted something small, custom and personal, over an impersonal group tour. If you are looking for the same, Dan is your man. Booking through the external sites is easy, but I recommend calling Dan and booking through him directly. He is polite and prompt in his service. He has a fleet of three vehicles: two jeeps and a van. We took a tour in one of his Jeeps. We scheduled a pickup at our Waikiki Beach hotel the day before. He picked us up promptly at 7am for our tour on the scheduled day. He was very professional, fun and a great conversationalist. He took us to some very beautiful spots of places with names I have trouble pronouncing. He will point out the spots of simple beauty, but also take you to places you never knew you needed to visit. Every place he goes, he has a story or experience there. He seems to know everyone, which makes your tour very efficient. He also adjusts your tour's pace to you, and you will never feel rushed. Some of the lookouts and beaches were so breathtaking. The Pipeline Beach area is a must. You would think places like that do not exist, but WOW. Even if you are not a surf fan, you will appreciate a stop there. The restaurants he takes you to are great! We stopped at Fumi's and Aoki's and I was impressed by both. The shopping area we went to on the North Shore was nice. Lots of photo ops, and Dan will even show you some filming locations from movies and tv shows. We got lucky and even saw quite a few whales during our tour! Overall, this is probably one of the best private tours I have been on in all my years of traveling. Dan knows his stuff, and we were super happy with our experience. Customer service, excellent. Driving, excellent. Tour stops, excellent. And Dan, excellent. Thank you, Dan!

Also he did a awesome job of staying ahead of other groups so basically at all our stops we where the only ones around.

I will recommend this tour group for anyone visiting and I have friends coming soon who I recommend to you. Wish you nothing but the best and hope to see you again. If you are planning on going to the north shore book through this guy and save your self the headaches he knows his stuff. Mahalo my friend.
