2. Kualoa Ranch

Kualoa Ranch is arguably most famous as a film location for Jurassic Park movies. It is a private nature reserve that spans an area of 4,000 acres. It has two individual designations on the well-known National Register of Historic Places. For eight generations it has been managed by the same family. The family hopes to preserve this place for future generations as well.

 

3. Koko Head Park

Even though Oahu is home to a great many people, it still offers sizable scenic areas that remain undeveloped. Koko Head Regional Park is one such place. Situated on the island’s eastern side, it is well-known for its beautiful beach and the nigh-infamous Koko Head stairs hike.
