About Kualoa Ranch - 2 Hour Horseback Ride
Ride horseback through Kualoa Ranch’s Ka'a'awa Valley on a 2-hour guided trail with forest scenery, movie-site areas, World War II bunkers, cliff faces and ocean views.
Ride into the heart of Kualoa Ranch on a gentle horseback journey through one of Oahu's most beautiful valleys. Forest trails lead beneath the green cliffs of Ka'a'awa Valley, where sweeping mountain and ocean views share the landscape with historic World War II bunkers and recognizable movie locations.
The horses are very gentle and well-behaved, making it easy to settle into the peaceful pace of the two-hour ride. Along the way, see filming sites connected with Jurassic Park, Along Came Polly, Pearl Harbor, 50 First Dates, Godzilla and Lost while exploring the northern part of the ranch.
