Kualoa is a 4,000-acre working cattle ranch stretches from the steep mountain cliffs to the sparkling sea. Kualoa Zipline will journey you through from dense rainforest and broad open valleys with views of beautiful white sand beaches to verdant cliff faces. Kualoa Ranch aims to enrich people’s lives by preserving our land and celebrating its history. The company vision is to be a role model as stewards of this special land by preserving, protecting and enhancing Hawaii’s natural beauty and culture, while developing recreational and agricultural enterprises that are compatible with the environment. Kualoa Ranch is located on the northeastern side of Oahu in the Hawaiian countryside, it is just 22 miles from Honolulu. If the views look familiar, it’s because Kualoa Ranch has been the site of many television shows and Hollywood films such as Jurassic Park, Windtalkers, Pearl Harbor, Godzilla, Tears of the Sun, 50 First Dates, Hawaii Five-O, Magnum P.I. and LOST. Ziplining takes place on the northern half of the ranch which includes Kaʻaʻawa Valley, containing most of the movie locations. The Zip & Dip combo includes a visit to their own “Secret Island” secluded beach.
