Kualoa Ranch

From Lostpedia

Kualoa Ranch is the landowner of Kaaawa Valley, also commonly known as Kualoa Valley, and Hakipuu Valley on the windward coast of the island of Oahu. Kualoa Ranch has been used as a filming location for Lost, and the nearby Moli`i Fishpond (also known as Kualoa Fishpond), also owned by Kualoa Ranch, has also been used as a location (Lost-Media).

The land property of Kualoa Ranch, including the valley, has been in the Morgan family for 150 years, when King Kamehameha III of the Kingdom of Hawaii sold it to them.

Kualoa Ranch is open for tourist activities such as horseback riding and hiking, but is best known as a film location for productions such as Jurassic Park, Mighty Joe Young, Pearl Harbor, Windtalkers, Godzilla, and Lost. Matthew Fox's horseback riding sequence in his Oprah interview was filmed here.

The ranch was mentioned as a filming location in the captions of "The Economist-Enhanced".
