Kualoa Ranch, Oahu, Hawaii

Kualoa Ranch is the landowner of Ka'a'awa Valley, also commonly known as Kualoa Valley, and Hakipuu Valley on the windward coast of the island of Oahu. Kualoa Ranch is one of the most popular filming locations for Lost, and the nearby Moli'i Fishpond and Gardens (also known as Kualoa Fishpond and part of Kualoa Ranch) has also been used as a location.

The land property of Kualoa Ranch, including the valley, has been in the Morgan family since 1850 when King Kamehameha III of the Kingdom of Hawaii sold it to their ancestor, Gerrit P. Judd for the price of $1,300 - equal to about $35,000 today.

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, You, Me and Dupree 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".
