MAUI

 

Hyatt Haunted House

Wednesday, Oct. 28 through Friday, Oct. 30

This hotel gets the haunted treatment once again. The Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa resurrects their annual maze of terror for three consecutive days, October 28–30, located right across from the Spa Django. Suitable for children and adults alike, this 10-minute attraction will have you on heightened alert with all the creepy costumes lurking around every corner. 100% of proceeds benefit the 2016 Charity Walk.

$3–$5, 200 Nohea Kai, Lahaina,  5 to 8 p.m., (808) 661-1234, maui.hyatt.com.

 

The Haunted Haiku Hike

Monday, Oct. 26 through Friday, Oct. 30

Because of Maui’s famed scenery, this attraction exploits its great outdoors to turn the hills of Haiku into an outdoor haunted “house.” The Haunted Haiku Hike located in upcountry Haiku presents a nighttime retelling of J. Barrie’s classic “Peter Pan” at Awalau Farm (two miles up from Hanzawas) called “The Darkest Tales of Neverland.”

During your hour-long journey encounter local twists on the story’s characters—Paia Pan, Captain Cook, Tiger Liliuokalani—but don’t be fooled by the clever names; it’s promised to be scarier than the fable you grew up with.

Only a limited number of tickets are available and they’re going fast. Costumes greatly encouraged, as long as you’re wearing sturdy walking shoes.

$25 advance, $30 door, Awalau Farm, Haiku, 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m., hauntedhaikuhike.com.
