Oahu Activities: New Ways to Explore Kualoa

Hau’oli Makahiki Hou (Happy New Year)! We’re excited to share two new ways to explore and experience our 4,000-acre Ranch with the launch of new afternoon packages and a hiking experience:

Afternoon Packages
The new afternoon packages include Hawaiian Adventure Tours: The Experience package allows guests to select two tours from choices like the Movie Sites and Ranch tour, Hawaiian Fishpond and Gardens tour and the Jungle Expedition tour . The Adventure package allows guests to pair one experience tour with either a horseback or ATV tour.

Both afternoon tours conclude with a Hawaiian-style dinner overlooking the famous Mokoli’i Island (Chinaman’s Hat). Live Hawaiian music serenades guests as they enjoy dinner featuring menu items such as delicious hand-carved prime rib, macadamia nut crusted mahimahi, grilled island chicken, and selection of sides and dessert including fresh baked banana bread. The evening closes with live entertainment that takes guests on a journey into the past, sharing the legends of Kualoa through ancient Hawaiian chants and hula. Afternoon tours begin at 2:20 p.m. Packages start at $89 for adults and $55 for children ages 3-12. Kama’aina rates are available.

Hiking
The guided Hakipu’u Hike takes visitors through a thick forest, over beautiful undulating pastures, across a flowing stream, to a Hawaiian cultural restoration site, with taro patches and native plants. Guests will also be treated to a stunning picturesque view of Kane’ohe Bay where they will learn about Kualoa, its history and the cultural significance it brings to Hawai‘i. Several stops will provide learning and photo opportunities: one at the lo’i to learn about kalo and the second at a lookout over Kane’ohe Bay to hear the legend of Mokoli’i Island and to see the 125-acre Moli’i Fishpond. The two-hour Hakipu’u Hike is a one and a half-mile hike available on Saturdays and Sundays at 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon. Pricing is $15 per person and $20 for a parent and child three to 12 years old. Covered shoes are required; sunscreen and insect repellent are recommended.
