From jungles and rainforests to mountains and valleys, there are parts of the Hawaiian Islands that will transport you to another time and place – perhaps when dinosaurs roamed free? While the Hawaiian Islands were formed long after dinosaurs roamed this earth, there is one mystical place in Hawaii that will easily make you feel as though you’ve walked onto the set of Jurassic Park. In fact, this lush Hawaiian valley was one of the primary filming locations for both the original Jurassic Park films and the new Jurassic World movies, and you can take an ATV tour through it all! 

A 4,000-acre private nature reserve and working cattle ranch, Kualoa Ranch is a lush, verdant slice of Hawaiian paradise that has played host to a variety of film and television productions throughout the years — including Jurassic Park.
