Best Ghost tour! - The guide is extremely knowledgeable about culture and Lore. Well known his work and storytelling skills. Great way to learn about the local history and stories of the Hawaiian people and their way to interact with nature. There is also a chance to take photos and participate in the stories.

Engaging Storytelling - Lopaka is amazing, he is very knowledgeable and was always willing to answer any questions anyone had. He is a phenomenal Hawaiian storyteller and I will definitely be back next time I come to Hawaii. I loved the tour so much I went to two of Lopaka’s on my trip! I also caught some light anomalies in my photos. 100000/10 recommend.
