Aloha Oahu Ghost Tours!  My girlfriend and I took your Orbs of Oahu tour a few weeks ago.  I have to tell you that we were expecting a good ghost tour, but nothing like what we saw!  Of the eleven ghost tours that we've taken at various cities on the mainland, nothing  even comes close to this!  After our first stop, we weren't sure that we could continue we were so scared, but we're glad we did.  Definitely worth every penny!

Steven and Maria F.


Hi.  I wanted to write to let you know that your tour, Orbs of Oahu scared the crap out of me and my entire group.  I think you remember us.  My sister refused to get out of the van at Morgan's Corner.  All I can say is it looked like we had the chicken pox when we left this place, the 'chicken skin' was so major!  And Uncle Joe, our guide was great!  I think we would like to go on another one of your tours, but I'm having a hard time convincing my sister right now.   She still remembers what she saw on that first stop.

Aloha.  I'm not much for writing, but thought this might be a good time to tell you that while on vacation a few weeks ago, my wife and I took the Honolulu City Haunts walking tour.  Steve, our guide was superb!  And that last stop where the murder took place is still giving me the chill.  This tour has a great mixture of spooks and history and we enjoyed it completely.  Very cool!

Dear Oahu Ghost Tours.  I should have listened to the person on the phone who said that the Orbs of Oahu driving tour was 'very intense'.  I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana.  We have voodoo, and other weird things here.  I've also taken most all of the ghost tours here.  I can honestly say that nothing here even compares to this tour.  I have never been so scared in my life!  The cemetery was real spooky, and that first stop we did was unbelievable.

Believe it or not I am looking forward to taking this tour again!  I will however make sure I'm wearing Depends next time.  Almost lost it a couple of times!

Aloha Joe and the rest of the Oahu Ghost Tour team.  Just wanted to drop a quick email letting you know how much we enjoyed both your Orbs of Oahu and Sacred Spirits tour!  We had never been on a ghost tour before, and were really looking for something different.  Well we found it in your tours.  We're so glad that the concierge at our hotel recommended you to us.   We highly recommend your tours to anyone wanting to experience the supernatural.   We are believers now!

Thank you.  FYI - Loved the TOUR it was great. We had a great group and tour guide. The tour was historically informative and had a lot of mystery to it. I  recommend it, especially to local folks. I am planning to take the bus tour (evening) soon. My cousin's are dying to pack up this morning and head back to downtown to explore everything (in the day light). This has been a worthwhile and educational experience... thank you for continuing the tours.

 
Aloha, Lani
 

Hi Chris,

We both Robert(Drew) and myself would love to thank you, and Uncle Joe for the best tour that will leave us to talk about for years to come.

It was so informative, exciting, listening to the history, heritage and the wisdom and knowledge that our guide Uncle Joe gave us.

We got some excellent photo's from the Children's graveyard, the beach and other places that people would not dare to go late at night.

I have attached some photo's of some orbs, please feel free to use them on your site.

If anybody I know is to go to Hawaii,  we would definitely recommend your tour.

I’m trembling just recalling the events that took place that night. But I’m taking one for the team just so you can enjoy your bloodcurdling Halloween night oh and don’t forget the heebie jeebies on the side.

I went on the Orbs of Oahu tour offered by The Original Oahu Ghost Tour with uncle Joe. He told us all these scary stories, and made us sign a waiver form just incase we’d “disappear” was he serious? I laughed in the face of fear, how naive of me. I didn’t know what I was in for, I honestly thought we’d drive around for about an hour hearing ghost stories and I’d be back in time to watch the 10’clock news. I was horribly wrong. It was a 5 hour tour, 5 hours filled with hair raising supernatural experiences which was enough to scare me out of sleeping for that night.

We went to all the spots, Morgan’s corner, Old Pali road, Chinese cemetery and many other places which I’m pushing in the back of my mind, too painful to recall. I will be honest, I did not see anything…not with my naked eye that is, but through the camera lens the ghosts definitely made their presence known. Orbs were seen in every click of the camera. But that’s not the eerie part, you could hear and feel their presence. The beating of drums in the moonless night and the sensation of cold air and hot air filling my lungs was proof that “they” were among us. There were so many times uncle Joe had to chant a prayer to protect us from unrest spirits. Thankfully uncle Joe’s heart and mind was strong enough to protect us all. By the 3rd hour of the tour, I was aching to go home, but I told myself to man up. Uncle Joe told me trust him and I did…and I survived.

So if you’re looking to sink your teeth into a plate of scarry + horrific + terrifying activity well then take a bite out Oahu Ghost Tour. I dare you. Good luck.

Hi there! Thanks Uncle Joe for one of the best ghost tours ever (10/10/07)! You're right about this being the REAL DEAL! The presence of the Night Marchers really freaked me out...I felt the heat and cold and sudden thickness of air, the aroma of fragrant flowers suddenly replaced by the stench of purification, the sound of wailing and chanting as well as the sound of conch shells being carried through the vicious rising wind and witnessed your supple dark green ti leaf suddenly turn brown, withered and frayed after 2 encounters with malicious spirits. That was really inexplicable! Thanks for bringing the extra protection against the evil entities as well as the EMF detector. But I still think a ghost followed me back to the hotel because at 5:13 am I heard slow deliberate pacing and wrustling of leaves at the foot of our bed. I tried to awaken my husband (a non-believer white man) about the sound and he turned over still asleep and said,"mana" I asked him what he said and he awakened and denied he said anything . I told him that he did say something like "mana" and he rolled his eyes & shook his head.( he definitely wasn't saying "Mama" ha,ha!)

We stayed in Oahu until the 17th...all the while I was hoping to run into someone who still spoke Hawaiian  but didn't . Then at the duty free store at the airport I saw an Hawaiian/English dictionary and looked up "mana" which means "supernatural power."  Whoa!!! That was a wild  coincidence!  Mahalo for the ghost tour! -

Dear Chris and Oahu Ghost Tours team,

Just wanted to pass on our appreciation for a great Sacred Sights tour yesterday. Uncle Joe and Jope made it a wonderful day.

Uncle Joe exceeded expectations with his local knowledge and genuine enthusiasm and Jope made sure we were safe and happy.

Joe made every effort to ensure we were not inconvenienced by the Seattle film crew. As someone who has worked in the travel industry for over 20 years and also previously as a guide, I am aware how hard it can be juggling a tour when film crew are present and it was handled with utmost professionalism.

My company is involved in small group adventures and responsible travel, so I very much hope that our destinations will include Hawaii one day and then I will have the pleasure of writing internationally about your great company.

I have attached a couple of small photos and please pass on our sincere thanks to Joe and Jope for making the day so enjoyable and educational.

Mahalo,

Sue E. and Martin P.

 


I've lived in Hawaii for 20 years, and have heard many of the "stories" regarding Morgan's Corner, the Pali, etc. When my younger brother and his wife came to visit, I thought it would be fun to do something different. I signed us up for one of your tours. The night of Oct 22, 2007 was phenomenal. We went to the Pali, Morgan's Corner, the Heiau, the Chinese Cemetery and up by Tree Tops in Manoa. Here are some pictures I got of orbs at the Pali site and at the Heiau. I did not see these until I downloaded the pictures into my computer and adjusted the brightness.

At first, I thought it was all a bunch of hui, until the experience I had at the Cemetery site.

I stepped into the portal area at the Banyan tree. Within seconds, I felt a very small hand grab my hand and squeeze it tightly. I could sense that it was a little girl, and she was very scared. She had been stuck there in the portal for a long time and wasn't sure how to cross over. I knew I had to help her. By some fortunate accident, we happened to have a young girl in our tour who was Chinese, and spoke it fluently. I asked her to tell the little girl that I was going to help her. She stepped into the portal and while she was talking to the little girl, I was able to reach a spirit on the other side, who would help her cross over. I had her tell the little girl to wait, as she had an ancestor who would be coming for her soon. This ancestor had been looking for her, but for some reason, had been blocked and had been unable to connect. I guess through me, she was able find the path to the girl and she thanked me for assisting in her search. I left there that night knowing that the little girl would soon be re-united with her family and be able to cross over to the other side. I know this may sound like a crazy story to a lot of people, but I have always been able to sense spirits and talk to them since I was young. I do not consider myself physic or anything, I just think I'm sensitive to the spirit world, and they know when I'm around. I actually believe that my late husband's spirit was there with me last night, and it was he who found the little girl's ancestor and brought her to us. After this endeavor was over and I was back on the cemetery road, I immediately felt the spirits of 5-6 children running around our group trying to play tag with us. They were happy children who were laughing, and tugging on our clothes.

I want to thank Uncle Joe and Robert for a very unique experience. I am actually thinking of going on one of the other tours that are offered here in Oahu.

Sign me "Sensitive in Ewa Beach"

 
 

Aloha Uncle Joe and Jope

 
This is Mary Bingman,   The silly lady who chickened out on the Orbs tour, LOL. But I was eagerly waiting for the van to show up at the Marriot Beach Waikiki Hotel  on Sunday, October 21.2007,  a day that changed my life.
 
Bruddah Joe immediately made the five of us feel like we were his Ohana, his family. This was my 3rd trip to Honolulu and I had never been up the Old Pali Road to Queen Emma's Bath before. In the quiet stillness of the rainforest, Joe, with his gentle, firm, but mystical words transported through time and space to the time long ago when Queen Emma and Liliuokalani  were brought to their bath by their guards.  I could almost hear the clip, clop of the horses hooves as they carried their royal party to the beautiful spot for their morning bath.  I know that their spirits are still there today, enjoying the cool water, eternally and forever.
 
I had been to the Pali Lookout before, and knew of its history, but our Kahuna, our Teacher, brought to living life, the sorrow, the pain, the triumph and the shame. As you go up the ramp to the lookout, you can feel the spirits of the Oahu push against you.  Our teacher, our Uncle Joe changed Pali Lookout from just a another tourist spot, with just his simple words, he again transported us to the time of King Kamehameha.
 
When we reached the 3rd Heiau, in back of the golf course, I soon discovered that I was not going to make it up the hill. due to my bad knee,  No worries, kind Uncle Joe asked the nice Samoan driver to stay with me there, on the step, while I drank in the beauty and the spirit of the Aina, while my fellow travelers followed our teacher, I felt I learned so much by just sitting there and feeling the spirit around me.  After a little while, the driver and I headed back down to the van where we could wait in air conditioned comfort of the 15 passenger van.
 
When Uncle Joe and the others came back to the van, Joe presented me with a beautiful green mountain fern wreath that he had woven upon the sacred site and dipped in the sacred waters near where ancient Hawaiian chiefs worshipped   I was so touched at his thoughtfulness, it was one the best gifts I have ever received, He also gave me some torch ginger blossom, that softens the hair
I have dried the wreath, brought it home to Texas with me, and it will always have a place of honor in our home.
 
After we left there, we stopped at a heiau that was behind the YMCA, I could feel the spirit when we entered,  Joe, dressed in his Ali's red cape, reverently led up to the Heiau, telling us along short distance its history,   When we entered the site, Joe respectfully and with great dignity took his shoes off , explaining that this was a place of worship.  He took a central place on one of the rocks there, and again we were transported. It was not Uncle Joe, but one of his proud ancestors sitting there, teaching us of the heiau as we were gathered around him, eager to learn of his wisdom and knowledge  Before we left the Heiau, Uncle Joe with great dignity, and respect moved forward to the heiau , He prayed with his Hawaiian chant and I was moved to tears . I could feel the guiding spirits of his ancestors that guide his steps with love, protection and pride. Joe they are with you always protecting you with their loving kindness. Those loving spirits enfolded all of us that were with Joe that day, We were all one , we are Ohana.
 
All to soon the tour was over, we all so wished we could spend more time with our Kahuna , Uncle Joe ,  But his wisdom, dignity and spirit will stay with us.  I have truly felt better Mind, Body and Spirit since the day of the Sacred Sites tour, on 10/21.
 
Uncle Joe, We will always welcome you in our home as Ohana,  When I next came to Oahu, I will  go on the Orbs  Tour,  I trust you my teacher, my friend.

Take care and Hugs

Hi Uncle Joe 

I would like to thank you for a wonderful Orb tour that you conducted on the night of Oct. 29th. 

Now that I am back home in New Hampshire I keep wondering about something. 

The last place that we were at [I can't remember what the area was called] my sister started to cry and panic and you talked to her and sent her home with some tea leaves. 

Could you please explain to me what exactly happened there?  We did capture mist in a picture we took but from what my sister told me it was as though she had something pass through her.  I would really like to know what took place there. 

I have always been very sensitive to energy and area's where there is residual energy.  I have had many supernatural experiences in my life from a very young age and I have been told by many reputable people in the paranormal field that I am clairaudient and claresentient but I have never developed those gifts. 

So if you could please just tell me what your honest opinion is as to what took place there I would appreciate it, because I did not sense any energy that would be dangerous or evil and I have had those energies around me before. 

I was also wondering if the young lady in our group who said she saw construction workers; and held the EMF reader was working with your group. 

Any clarification you could send to me would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks again for a great tour!

Wow!
 
Recently my daughter and I visited the island and she wanted to take your ghost tour. We had such an experience. The light energy and the expressions of the orbs that we captured on film was so clear and strong.  We have never seen ghostly entities like these ever before and it is a real fascination to look upon what has become non-human form. We are so stoked by what we saw and felt that we can't wait to go on another tour or haunt again. It's an unreal amazing feeling. We just couldn't believe our eyes.

Hi, 

On 11/24, my girlfriend and I went on one of your ghost tours with Steve Fredrick.  I gotta admit, I wasn't expecting much.  But by the end of the night, I have to tell you, it was a really good time!  I'd recommend this tour to anyone.  It was very entertaining, good exercise (cuz there was quite a bit of walking), and Steve was a personable and humble guide. 

Just wanted to let you know the we really enjoyed it, and appreciated the efforts of everyone involved.  I think it's a very non-typical tour to offer tourists to Waikiki.  Maybe that's why we appreciated it so much.  It was really different from all the run of the mill scuba diving and parasailing activities that are seemingly everywhere.  Thanks for offering an alternative activity for those of us who are into something a little different.

My teenager was the one who requested we take the Orb tour. She loves to watch shows about hauntings and such.  I don't - didn't - really believe in that stuff. Uncle Joe drove us to a number of sites, and shared the history of each. Along with the other folks, I had brought my digital camera and was taking photos, but never expecting to capture any "orbs."  Was I surprised! This tour was amazing, scary, and convincing. Having returned home, I've been sharing some fascinating photos of orbs with friends and co-workers. Most cannot believe that what is on my camera is real. All I can say, is, "You would have to have been there."  I strongly recommend this tour to anybody - especially those who have never experienced the paranormal. Uncle Joe is an excellent guide, who shares a deep respect for the history & culture of the islands.  Thank you for an enlightening experience.

Thank you for the fun and all the information last night. We had a great time and was able to learn so much more about the island.  Robert was our guide and we had such a good time. My son Nickolas (8) was the one that really wanted to go on this tour and pushed us all to book it, so glad we did.  I am sure Robert remembers him as my son loved to talk story with him and would not leave his side. We are leaving soon (Wednesday) to move back to the mainland. My son wanted me to ask and I forgot at the end of night- but do you have any t-shirts that we could buy for him. He asked if you had them, I didn't think so but still wanted to ask just in case.  Thank you and we enjoyed all the stories and travels.
