wide variety of activities and educational programs
here, such as horseback rides, ATV (all-terrain vehicle)
tours, movie tours, a Jungle Expedition, a Hawaiian
Fishpond & Garden Tour, hula lessons and a snorkeling
excursion to Kaneohe Bay with a picnic on a “secret”

petting zoo and a visitor’s center with a gift shop.
They have individual half- and full-day tour packages.
Kualoa is also known as one of the most sacred places on
the island of Oahu. There are many legends and myths
surrounding the Kualoa Valley. For example, it is
believed that the ranch’s Moili fishpond was built by
the Menehune, the legendary little people of Hawaii,
within just one night.
