The last heir to Hawaii’s throne refuses to surrender her Island nation in the halls of this haunted Honolulu Hotel. Reports of a beautiful woman in a 19th-century Hawaiian dress have circulated the city and the hotel for years.
Constructed in 1901, The First Lady of Waikiki was the first resort to open in the changing royal city. One woman’s madness and horrible suicide have left the building riddled with messages from the beyond. Strange tappings and shadows in the dark have scared visitors for years.
This shopping center was once the site of ancient Helumoa, the landing spot of the Hawaiian God Ka’auhelemoa. Elite warriors slain in battle were buried beneath the former hotel’s bustling cityscape, and the strange activity around the outdoor mall makes this disturbing fact obvious.
Disturbed sacred burials of fallen Hawaiian soldiers were just the start of the macabre events that would turn this beautiful piece of serenity into a virtual ghostly wasteland. Now, the entities of Waikiki’s past walk amongst the living, causing panic in some and taking the souls of others.

Hear the legend of the Night Marchers and step into their old world on an eerie Waikiki ghost tour.

All who meet their timeless gaze are said to meet a certain death. There is a brighter side to the carnage, although not any less otherworldly. Waikiki Ghosts takes you to Duke Paoa Kahanamoku’s statue, where you’ll uncover the mystical healing powers of the Stones of Life.
Folklore speaks of the four Mahu, Tahitian healers who visited Waikiki in the days of Oahu Royalty. The Stones of Life were left behind in their place and now possess renowned magical powers. As elusive as it is beautiful, Waikiki Beach lies just beyond the bronze effigy of a Hawaiian national hero who brought surfing to the world. Standing guard between worlds, the Duke represents two versions of Hawaii.
