Kualoa Ranch, family owned and operated, has as its mission to be a role model as
stewards of the land.
We do this by preserving, protecting and enhancing its natural beauty and culture,
while developing recreational and agricultural enterprises compatible with the environment.
We care about and wish to communicate our concern and reverence for our natural
environment and the unique Hawaiian culture.
Established in 1850, Kualoa is a 4000 acre working cattle
ranch, spread from the steep mountain cliffs to the sparkling sea. Located on the
northeastern side of Oahu in the Hawaiian countryside, it is less than an hour from
Honolulu. The ranch terrain varies from dense rainforest to broad open valleys and from
beautiful white sand beaches to awesome verdant cliff faces. It is truly a paradise for
outdoor recreation with many places accessible only by horseback, on an all terrain vehicle
or by hiking.
There are two major areas of the ranch: the
northern half of the ranch including Ka'a'awa
Valley which contains most of the movie locations sites, and the
southern half that includes Hakipu`u Valley, the 800 year-old Moli'i fishpond,
and Secret Island. If the ranch's views look familiar, that's because Kualoa Ranch has been the
site of many television shows and Hollywood films such as Jurassic park, Windtalkers,
Pearl Harbor, Godzilla, Tears of the Sun and 50 First Dates. TV shows include
Hawaii Five-O, Magnun P.I. and most recently the hit show LOST.
The photo above shows the ranch entrance off
Kamehameha Highway just beyond Kualoa Beach Park.
This aerial view shows the main ranch houses on the left, the fishpond above and Kaaawa Valley
in the middle. Kualoa is one of the most historically
significant destinations on Oahu, and in ancient times, one of the most
sacred places on the island. Come experience the aloha and special sense
of 'ohana' (family) that the Kualoa employees share.
