Why you should go…

Kualoa Ranch is a 4,000-acre private nature reserve and working cattle ranch on Oahu's windward side, established in 1850. Guided tours take you through valleys where more than 250 movies and TV shows have been filmed, including the Jurassic Park films, Kong: Skull Island and Jumanji. You can also choose UTV rides, horseback riding, ziplines, e-bikes and a boat trip to Secret Island beach. Tours can sell out, so the ranch recommends booking ahead.
