Kualoa Ranch

Kualoa Ranch is one of my favorite spots to visit in Oahu because it is where I can ride the ATV (all terrain vehicle) to my heart's content. Located in the northeast side of Oahu, this 4,000-acre ranch has been featured in numerous Hollywood movies and TV series. In the pilot episode of the new Hawaii Five-O, it served as a backdrop for its "South Korea" battle scene. It is also where the toy penguin was hit by the zany Adam Sandler for the movie 50 First Dates, and where the mighty dinosaurs roam the earth in Jurassic Park. There are various activities you can do inside the ranch. Horseback riding, learning ancient hula, jungle tour, ocean voyage, garden exploration, to name a few. The buffet lunch which comes with standard tour package is simply delectable.

The prices of tour package vary. Open daily, 8:30am-5:30pm.
