About Kualoa Ranch - Kualoa Grown Tour
See a quieter side of Kualoa Ranch with a tour centered on Hawaiian farming traditions, aquaculture and the tropical landscape surrounding Moli'i Fishpond. The fishpond dates back roughly 800 to 1,000 years and remains one of Oahu’s best-preserved examples of traditional Hawaiian fish farming.
As you explore the area, your guide shares how early Hawaiians raised fish and worked with the land and water around them. The tour then continues through nearby gardens filled with tropical fruit trees and flowers along the shoreline near Secret Island.
Depending on the season, you may also have the chance to taste fruit grown at the ranch while enjoying plenty of time for photos and the peaceful scenery around the fishpond.
