Route
How does the evening work?
Lopaka Kapanui links places around Kapiolani Park with stories of Waikiki's night marchers.
- 90 min
1. Kapiolani Park
You hear accounts of night marchers near places tied to burials and Hawaiian chiefs. The walk connects these stories with Waikiki's past.
Storytelling and walking fill 90 minutes around the park. Some of the route crosses grass. You return to the meeting area by the bandstand and duck pond.
Pickup and meeting point
- Park meeting: The meeting landmark is the little girl statue in front of the duck pond. It's beside the Waikiki Bandstand in Kapiolani Park.
- Parking approach: The Waikiki Shell parking lot nearest the beach puts you near the bandstand. From there you walk toward the pond and statue.
- Evening gear: Bring a light rain layer and a phone light or flashlight. Sturdy walking shoes suit the sections of grass.
Before you book
- Tickets start at age 6, though some stories aren't suitable for children under 12. Choose with your child's tolerance for ghost stories in mind.
Fit
Is this tour right for you?
A free Wednesday or Sunday evening makes this a fit if you're staying in Waikiki and enjoy ghost stories. The walk takes 90 minutes from 7 p.m. You'll cross grass in Kapiolani Park. It works after dinner if you don't need a meal included.
For a Thursday or Saturday evening, the Old Honolulu ghost walk follows downtown hauntings, from $35 per person. If you'd rather eat your way through Waikiki, the food walk offers five tastings, from $107 per adult.
Who it's not for
- Families with children under 6
- Guests without a free Wednesday or Sunday evening
- Travelers expecting dinner or hotel transport included

Know before you go

Up to 30 people can share one reservation. The full tour may have as many as 50 guests. Your family booking doesn't reserve a private storytelling session.
