Kualoa Ranch feels like stepping onto a movie set because it literally is one – Jurassic World, Kong: Skull Island and dozens more were filmed in these lush valleys. This open-air vehicle tour bounces you through the Hakipu’u rainforest, winding up jungle trails, over mountains, across stream beds and hills with views that make you reach for your camera every few minutes. Your guide shares stories about the films shot here and points out spots you’ll recognize from the big screen. Add an optional hike through Ka’a’awa and Hakipu’u valleys for even deeper jungle immersion, spotting local plants and birds along the way. Rugged, fun and packed with that Hollywood-in-Hawaii magic without feeling touristy.
