We took an all-day photography tour with Oahu Photography Tour. It was a lot of fun. I recommend it highly.

This photo was taken on the Kualoa Ranch ATV tour. A beautiful part of the world. Secret Island in the foreground, with Mokoli'i in the background. A beautiful natural scene.
A magical place. The scenery is fantastic. So good Hollywood visits quite regularly. You can go horse riding, ATV tours, movie tours, zip lining and much more.
Operated 1865 to 1871. Abandoned when they found the local area was too dry to support sugar cane. Looking out the window to the Koolau Mountains.
The family and I went on the movie tour of Kualoa ranch. One of my top five show/movie "LOST" was filmed at this very spot. The scene when Hurley finds golf clubs. Hurley is hitting the ball at the top of the hill by the trees. The movie "Jurassic Park" also had it's opening scene filmed here.

A very well used locaton...i didn't quite realise quite how many films had been filmed here! Worth the $35 tour fee
On this particular day we had planned a free morning, just drive around the island in the morning shooting places. We started with the Makapu'u point Light House and continued driving contra-clockwise around the island.
We headed up to the North Shore and had lunch, then started back in the afternoon, stopping at anything that looked like a beautiful spot. We had an afternoon appointment to ride ATVs around Kualoa ranch. This is the area you see in most TV shows and movies shot in Hawai'i. This little beach was the last stop before we drove on into the ranch.
From Kualoa Ranch, HDR. An hour before taking this picture, our son and his beautiful bride were married in the grassy foreground area of this picture. (And they filmed parts of Jurassic Park here...)

We were provided a quick stop at a Macadamia Nut Farm on our Tour of Oahu. With only 15 min. allowed I quickly captured some of these rural images by where the bus was parked while my wife went with all the other tourists into the farm to try and/or purchase some Macadamia Nuts. Unfortunately, there was not enough time for me to try the different samples, but we ended up having some my wife bought on the bus, they were awesome, much better than the standard Mauna Loa ones you can purchase at the ABC Stores or in our stores here on the mainland. The same thing happened to me when we visited the Dole Plantation, only that time I made sure I returned to where they were sampling the Pineapple with 10 min. to spare, but oh, thanks, they decided they were done. J-Ri missed out. Anyway, this is just a simple view of the Oahu countryside very close to the Kualoa Ranch. Enjoy!

Looking out from Kualoa Ranch toward Mokoliʻi — “Chinaman’s Hat” — I was struck by how timeless and powerful this view feels. The island rises quietly from the ocean, framed by the lush trees and distant ridges, yet carries a presence that’s impossible to ignore. This place is more than just a backdrop for movies or shows; it holds a kind of spirit, a reminder of the stories, legends, and beauty that flow through Hawai‘i. Standing here, I felt both small and deeply connected — to the land, the sea, and the moment itself.
