Kualoa Ranch

Looking for fun, culture, and adventure on Oahu? Try Kualoa Ranch. Walk where movies and television shows have been made, and continue to be made, take an adventurous ATV tour along the hilly terrain, or learn about legends and stories from time past. Kualoa Ranch is a great place to spend a day, whether it be spent learning about the environment and culture or being a little adventurous.

One of the main attractions to see while visiting is, China Man's Hat. This island sits off the shore of the mountain range, and is named as such for its shape. The beach area is a prime spot for picnics and gatherings, and like any holiday on the island, it gets crowded fast on the holidays.

The ranch has been the destination for movies, such as Jurassic Park and was used in Lost and now, Hawaii 5-0. One of the best tours, and one of two reasons many visit the ranch, is the horseback tour. It is a laid back tour experience. Riding on horseback through the mountain ranch, breathing in the Hawaiian sea breeze is a once in a lifetime experience that must be taken advantage of. They even offer "keiki" tours. Another plus for this kid friendly vacation spot.

For those wishing to learn the native dance of Hawaii, take some hula lessons. It's fun, relaxing, and really sets the mood for being in Hawaii. There are several other tours, and for those looking for a wedding venue, try Kualoa Ranch.
