Our first stop will be at rainbow falls, home of the moon goddess hina, and one of the most visited waterfalls on the island. We will drive up the east coast of the island, which was once covered in sugarcane plantations. You will see waterfalls, lush greenery, tropical flowers, papaya fields, and stunning views of the ocean.

Stop for pictures along the way at several scenic spots overlooking the bay of hilo. A guest favorite stop is laupahoehoe point, a perfect picnic spot overlooking the blue ocean. You'll visit mokuola, the city of refugee, also now known as coconut island. Your guide will share with you the deep history that goes along with this place.

Experience the history and natural beauty of old Hawaii, unlike anywhere else in the islands, as you will soon discover Hilo Bay captures the feeling of going back in time. Hilo Bay is a large bay located on the eastern coast of the island of Hawaii. The modern town of Hilo overlooks Hilo Bay and located north of the bay runs the Hamakua Coast on the slopes of Mauna Kea and south of the bay is the Puna district on the slopes of Mauna Loa. As you paddle, you will be surrounded with the majestic snow-capped peaks of Mauna Kea crater in the distance. Your experienced guide will share with you the history of the last Hawaiian monarch at Queen Liliuokalani Japanese Gardens as you make your way to Coconut Island. Coconut Island or Moku Ola, is a small island in Hilo Bay, just offshore from Lili’uokalani Park and Gardens.

Hilo days might be warm, but when the sun goes down and there's a chill in the air, it's easy to imagine eerie happenings among the quiet beaches and rustling palms. Investigate sites of paranormal occurrences with a local guide, scoping out haunted hotels and historic sites as you hear tales of spooky sightings.

Begin your outing with a group prayer of protection and a statement of intention, and listen as your guide provides a brief history of Hilo. Hear about supernatural activity in the islands as you begin your tour in the Happiness Gardens, where ghostly sightings have occurred in the past, and then make your way to Queen Liliuokalani Gardens & Coconut Island, following the route of the legendary Night Marchers.

At each spine-tingling location along the way, pull out specialized paranormal activity detection equipment and see if you can detect any unusual spiritual presences. Personalized tarot card readings are available during the booking process directly on our website.
