This rugged open-air Jungle Jeep Expedition takes you through our beautiful Hakipu’u rainforest. This lush tropical valley was seen in the movies Jurassic World, Kong Skull Island, and Jumanji. You will board one of our custom-built jungle vehicles for a 90-minute tour that rumbles along jungle trails, across isolated stream beds, and powers up steep hills for spectacular views.

Many movies were filmed here, but we take our Hawaiian culture seriously, too. While taking in the views, you will learn about Hawaiian traditions and experience the Ka’a’awa Valley first-hand, driving through native flora and fauna, over natural streams. Be sure to look for props and locations from the movies that have been filmed here! These small group tours in open-air vehicles provide a cultural experience and unique learning opportunity for our guests.
