| Question:
We've been on ghost tours where people jump out of a bush and the
whole tour was more like a Disney attraction than a ghost tour.
Do your tours do this? |
|
Answer:
Oahu Ghost Tours does not stage
or pre-arrange any events that may occur at any site. There are no
actors, and no trickery of any kind involved with what we do or with
what you may see or hear at the sites we visit. |
| |
| Question:
Can we drive our own cars on your tours? |
| Answer:
Guests may use their own vehicles to meet us at Iolani Palace for
our Honolulu City Haunts walking tour only. When
booking this tour if you would like this option, select "Iolani
Palace" from the Accommodation Information pull-down menu during the
booking process. Due to insurance regulations and Oahu Ghost
Tours policy we do not allow guests to use their own vehicles on our
Orbs of Oahu or Sacred Spirits tours. |
| |
| Question:
Can we bring a camera on the tours? |
| Answer:
While we have no problem with cameras on the tours, we do ask that
you be courteous to other guests who do not bring cameras so that
their own personal experience is not diminished. While
attempting to catch something in a camera lens, this practice can be
considered disrespective to some guests and to the spirits
themselves. If you choose to bring a camera, please always ask
permission of the spirits before you take a picture of them and also
try and be courteous of other guests. |

| Question:
Do you cancel your tours when it rains? |
| Answer:
Rarely do we cancel a tour due to inclement weather. If there
is heavy rain within one hour prior to the start of pickups, or
there is lightening, we will cancel a tour due to the potential of
sites not being accessible because of flooding and for safety
concerns. If we cancel a tour, guests are entitled to a full
refund, or we may schedule a special makeup tour the next day and
ask if you would like to move to that day. In most cases, rain
actually adds an extra element of spookiness to the tours. |
| |
| Question:
Can we bring food or drink on your tours? |
| Answer:
While we do not allow food and drink inside our vehicles, you may
bring a snack or drink in a small backpack or fanny pack. There will
be a stop on the Orbs of Oahu tour for this. Dutch style lunch
stop is provided on our Sacred Spirits day tour.
Absolutely no alcoholic beverages of any kind are allowed on any of
our tours.

| Question:
Do we get out of the vans on your driving tours? |
| Answer:
Yes. While we must drive to the sites visited on the Orbs of
Oahu and Sacred Spirits driving tours, you will exit the van at each site to listen to
the story that the guide will tell, as well as have an opportunity to
take pictures. |
| |
| Question:
Is there a bathroom stop on your tours? |
| Answer:
We tell guests to try and use the restroom prior to getting in our
vans, however there is a restroom stop on both the driving and
walking tours. |
| |
| Question: How
much walking is there on your Orbs of Oahu driving tour? |
|
Answer:
There is the equivalent of about
three city blocks of walking on this tour at two sites. If you are
unable to do any walking at all, you may elect to remain in the van with
one of our drivers. |
| |
| Question:
Are children allowed on your tours? |
|
Answer:
While we do allow children on all of our tours, we caution
parents about taking children under the age of 10, or those who
frighten very easily on our Orbs of Oahu driving tour.
This tour can be very intense and frightening, and parents
should use their own good judgment when booking with children.
There are no restrictions on our Honolulu City Haunts
walking tour or our Scared Spirits tour related to children, but
we do ask that parents of small children do their best to
maintain control of children so that all guests can enjoy
the tour. |
| |
| Question: Do
you offer kama'aina rates for your tours? |
|
Answer:
Yes. We offer kama'aina (Hawaii resident) rates on all of our
tours. Hawaii
residents
must call us directly to get kama'aina rates. Proof of residency
required. |
| |
| Question:
Our company is planning a
group tour with you. How many guests can you take on your
tours as one time? |
|
Answer:
We have two 15 passenger vans that
can handle 13 guests each. We also own a 21 passenger
mini-bus. So we can handle up to 47 guests at one
time. |
| |
| Question:
