Two days ago we started off the day at Kualoa Ranch. This ranch was originally a sugar plantation... Then became a cattle ranch/Air Force site/ movie site/your site. Much more profitable than trying to grow sugar in soil with a bunch of sand mixed in...
Here is one of the old sugar mills. They used lava stone, sand, coral, and mud to make the buildings and eventually took them apart to make different buildings.
Wearing my Ariel tank from Wildfox, the Tank is no longer sold but the dress can be found at Bloomingdales.
That is the log that everyone jumps over in the first Jurassic park movie before the t-Rex jumps out of those trees! Eep!
Above is one of godzillas footprints! There used to be ten in the valley but the cattle kept falling in so they filled them in except for four of them
...silly cows...
This mountain is considered sacred to Hawaiians, and the bones of Hawaiian royals are stored up in these caves. Hawaiians believed that the spirit of an individual continues on in the bones of the deceased. The mountain is still protected and no one is allowed to climb up or hike it.
Replicas of what an Hawaiian tribes huts would look like. One is fully built and the other is to show the beginning structure of their buildings.
Apparently this is the door from lost? It's also in the movie "Pearl Harbor" and was part of the old Air Force base here.
The "Biggest Loser" filmed an episode here. Contestants had to run to the tiki with their name on it and back.
The islands in the background are said to have been the end of a dragons tail that was cut off centuries ago and fell into the water. The bay to the right is also know as a breeding ground for these guys...
The hammer head shark! Don't worry, this guy is at the Sea Life Park ;)
