Family-owned Kualoa Ranch is a one-stop adventure playground in Oahu. Dating back to 1850, the cattle ranch is a popular location for horse-riding tours and all-terrain trails.
Scenically, the ranch embraces a variety of Hawaiian landscapes, from fertile countryside to rugged mountains and tropical white-sand beaches.
You may recognise some of the locations you’ll see from horseback or off-road ATV, as the ranch has hosted many TV and film crews, including Jurassic Park, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii Five-O and Lost.
Narrated bus tours point out famous locations, along with other historic and cultural sites.
By car, Kualoa Ranch is under an hour from Waikiki on the east coast of Oahu. It’s a scenic drive along the Kahekili and Kamehameha highways.
Public buses run along the island’s east coast from Honolulu, but the one-way trip takes one and a half hours.
