KUALOA RANCH
Visit Kualoa, a working cattle ranch, and farm, for exciting experiences and adventures! Explore the spectacular views of the location where Jurassic Park was filmed, make some lovable new friends at the petting zoo, walk the filming grounds of famous motion pictures, and visit an old military bunker now dedicated to those famous locales.
Tour a jungle or a secret island, visit Hawaiian fishponds and gardens, go for a horseback ride, or drive an ATV to the more remote corners of the ranch.
There is something for everyone at this one-of-a-kind, family-owned cattle ranch. Kualoa is preserved and managed by the sixth-generation Kamaaina family, who are committed to preserving the natural beauty and cultural significance for future generations to enjoy.
We recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advanced due to tours selling out quickly.

“This ranch is a must visit as you get to see the movie backdrops of many movies and shows such as Kong, Jurassic World, Lost, etc. It’s a must visit and great for families with young children.” – Visitor, West Covina, California (Trip Advisor)
“Travelled with my mother. We had the best day! Very well organized, no issues with anything. Staff were all really friendly and helpful. One of the best things we’ve done on Oahu. Will definitely be back!” – Visitor (Trip Advisor)
“We took the 1-hour raptor ride with our 5 year old boy and had a blast!! The scenery at Kualoa Ranch is simply out of this world and we had so much fun on the ride as it was sunny one moment and raining the other. It was so much fun with the rain hitting hard against our face, going up and down the bumps and navigating the tight turn! This is definitely a must-try and once in a lifetime experience if you are there! Don’t miss this especially if you are traveling with young ones and is not able to take the ATV ride.” – Visitor, Singapore (Trip Advisor)
