Kualoa Ranch

When Chris was home for winter break we decided to go ziplining at Kualoa Ranch. 
The tour was about 3 hours long,
 including 7 zip lines ranging from 200 yards to a quarter mile long and 2 suspension bridges.

We don't have many pictures from that tour 
because it was a little rainy and we didn't want to drop our phones!
Here are a few that we paid way too much money for :) 




As you can see the scenery was breathtaking. 
I was a little scared at first but after a few rides I loved it!


It is actually a functioning 4000 acre cattle ranch and tropical farm.





The ranch has many adventures to partake in including: 
horseback riding, ATV trips, ocean voyage, and a botanical garden.


A real draw is their movies sites tour where you see locations many famous movies were filmed.
(Jurassic Park, Godzilla, hawaii Five-O and many more)

50 First dates

This was a site from Lost

We also went on a jungle expedition where we saw a set from the Movie Jurassic World, 
you may recognize it.



You can see the dinosaur scratches

The jungle expedition was great, such amazing views and a few interesting stops.
This was our transportation.







Sacred Site







These guys are everywhere in Oahu
We also spent a little time at a beach at Kaneohe Bay, across the street from the Ranch.

It was a fun day, a fitting farewell to Christopher who was leaving the next day for school.
