Established in 1850, Kualoa is a 4,000-acre working cattle ranch stretching from steep mountain cliffs to the sparkling sea. Located on the northeastern side of Oahu in the Hawaiian countryside, it's just 22 miles from Honolulu. The ranch terrain varies from dense rainforest to broad open valleys, and from beautiful white-sand beaches to verdant cliff faces. It's truly a paradise for outdoor recreation.
If the views look familiar, it's because Kualoa has been the site of many television shows and Hollywood films. So many, in fact, that it's become known as Hollywood's āHawaii back-lot.ā On this tour you get an up close and personal view of backdrops from films like Godzilla, Jurassic Park, Windtalkers, 50 First Dates, Pearl Harbour, and many more.
