Kualoa Ranch

Kualoa Ranch spans 4,000 acres across three valleys on the windward coast of Oahu, featuring mountains, tropical forests, and ancient fishponds.

The property was acquired from King Kamehameha III in 1850 by Dr. Gerrit P. Judd for $1,300, initially operating as a sugarcane plantation before shifting to cattle ranching.

The land holds profound significance in Hawaiian tradition, with Chief La'a-mai-kahiki establishing it as a sacred site between the 13th and 18th centuries.

Visitors can select from multiple activities including movie tours, horseback riding, zip-lining, ATV adventures, and e-bike excursions through various natural landscapes.

The ranch serves as a filming location for major productions, with more than 200 movies and television shows recorded on its grounds, including Jurassic Park and Kong: Skull Island.
