Kualoa Ranch
Kualoa is one of the most historically significant destinations on Oahu,
and in ancient times, one of the most sacred places on the island. In 1850,
Dr. Gerrit P. Judd purchased the land from King Kamehameha III and the
property has remained in the family ever since. The current family owners
strive to be role model stewards of the land, by preserving and protecting it
from development.
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 and sets,
and the southern half that includes Hakipu Valley, the 800 year-old Moil'i
fishpond, and Secret Island, an area of Kualoa Ranch for leisure activities.
Explore the wondrous beauty of Ka’a’awa Valley on your own all-terrain vehicle
(ATV)! Kawasaki 125 TC brand ATV's. All ATV Riders must be 16 year and present

Expert Kualoa Ranch guides will escort you up the mountainside on trails that
pass World War II bunkers and then down into a lush, green valley surrounded

backdrop for famous Hollywood films like "Jurassic Park", "Mighty Joe Young",
