Visiting Kualoa Ranch Is A Must Do!
This is an amazing valley on the island of Oahu which is home to some of the most famous sites you have ever seen on TV or in the movies. This classic location nicknamed “Jurassic Valley” has been the filming site of the blockbuster films like Jurassic Park, King Kong, Hawaii 5-0 to local new treasure-hunt movies like Finding Ohana. Here on the ranch you can do Jurassic Park movie tours, take a jungle expedition, go on a UTV ride, soar through the canopy on a zip line, take a mountain bike around the trails or even enjoy a nice long horseback ride. Choose 2 or more options to make a full day of it.
Drive yourself to Kualoa Ranch or choose pickup in Waikiki. Transportation provided by Kualoa Ranch is a round-trip service with a 7:45 to 8:15 AM pickup in Waikiki and return at 1:00, 3:30 or 5:50PM. If you choose to do two tours please make sure the second activity will end prior to 4:30pm.
Kualoa Ranch is located on the leeward side of Oahu. The land was a gift from the king to his doctor who used it for a variety of purposes including as a working ranch which it has been since 1850. Today, you can enjoy the rich history, exploring the movie sites, the World War II bunkers, the ranchlands, and the fun activities available on this 4000-acre private preserve.
The pristine nature of the area is what attracts visitors and filmmakers alike. The valley has been home to many fabulous creatures including King Kong. Remnants of the movie site Skull Island can still be found hidden in the landscape. A great way to explore the valley is to take the popular ATV tours. Your guide will take you up into areas only the lucky few have seen.
You can spend the whole day at the ranch and not see everything. One area that many guests miss that should be on your bucket list is a visit to Secret Island. This private beach is a great place to get away from the crowds, enjoy some water-sports and really soak in the beauty of this side of Oahu. You wonʻt be disappointed. Itʻs accessible from a short jeep and canoe ride, which is fun as well. On the way to Secret Island Beach you will come across a variety of movie sites that will transport you to a whole new reality.
After exploring all around Kualoa, take a moment to enjoy the gift shop which has some of the best movie tour-themed toys, oddities, clothing, and gifts for everyone.
