Overview

The New Orleans of the Pacific, Hilo is a colorful, historic mural-filled town, home to music, ghosts, and magic. The scene of devastating tsunamis and the wandering spirits they leave in their wake, Hilo's crescent-shaped bay also saw the launch of King Kamehameha's 800 war canoes in his quest to unite the major Hawaiian Islands. The annual Merrie Monarch Festival stirs the ancestors and is ground zero for curses dealt by rival hula dancers. Discover the local history of unique paranormal activity including contemporary stories of encounters with Hawaiian deities such as the fiery goddess of the volcanoes, Pele, and Mo'oinanea, the queen of the mo'o, fierce local guardians, who are half-human and half-dragon. This tropical destination is prone to rain, so each guest receives a complimentary rain poncho on request.

What to expect

  1. Wailuku River State Park

  2. Palace Theater
    10m
    As seen on the TV series Haunted Towns, this historic theater, built in 1925, is the scene of contemporary ghost reports.
  3. Kalakaua Park
    15m
    A massive banyan tree, a large lotus-adorned reflecting pool, and a statue of Hawaii’s last king, are the backdrop for supernatural stories surrounding the annual Merrie Monarch Festival.
  4. Pacific Tsunami Museum
    10m · Admission ticket not included
    Dedicated to those killed by devastating tidal waves in Hilo, the museum is the perfect place to discuss the waves of ghost sightings that followed as well as the Buddhist ritual used to dispel them.
  5. Naha Stone
    15m
    Mammoth, ancient megaliths brought by canoe from a Hawaiian temple in Kauai play an important role in a prophecy about the unification of the Hawaiian Islands.
