Kualoa Regional Park

It was sooooo windy on the day of our tour!! This park location has Oahu's famous view of Mikoli'i Island also known as Chinaman's Hat !We had fun posing with island as a backdrop.Jurassic park scene shot by Kualoa area

Kuala Regional Park What a beautiful beach coast line, multiple little islands and what's the deal with all the free range roosters and chickens... they are everywhere.The park is clean well maintained and accessible from the road even has suitable parking.

This is a beautiful beach park with awesome majestic views of the mountains. We stopped by here while on a tour on 3/9/24. Our driver, Ian took a cool shot of us. He was just the best tour guide ever. The park feels so peaceful and it was a nice walk on a perfect day. We would've loved to stay longer but we're limited as we had many other places to visit. Well worth the visit! =)

Amazing views. Well kept park and beach. Great to walk or view. But... super busy and touristy. Come at off hours.. opening or closing. Well worth the visit.

Fabulous park on the coastline in Oahu. Stopped here on the way to Laie. Paradise where a grassy lawn and palm trees meet the shore. Totally could have just baked in the sun all day here. Glorious natural beauty all around. Easy place to go paddle boarding, kayaking or swimming.

I used to come to Kualoa Beach Park with my hubby when we lived in Honolulu. It was one of our favorite spots for photography projects. Can I share a secret with you? It is one of the best people-watching places on the island. I love the spacious parking lots along the grassy park area. It's never a fee because it's operated by the State. In fact, I don't know if there were any beach park parking lots on the island that had a charge. Not sure about other states, but to my understanding, private businesses can't own a shoreline property in the State of Hawaii. Our usual route was from North Shore to Kahuku to Kualoa before going onto H3 in Kaneohe. I used the exact route on my recent visit to the island. I brought a friend from the mainland who has never been to the island and a friend who lives on the island. After eating all the good foods at food trucks in Kahuku, we were looking for public restrooms along the way to here. Ok, another secret. Kualoa has the best restrooms plus easy parking. What else can you ask for when nature's calling.

There are a lot of ways you can "do" Kualoa Ranch. We chose to do the Jurrasic Valley Tour on the Safari bus. Jamie was our tour guide and she was amazing. You NEED to be on her bus. So kind, informative, and accommodating. The tour itself had incredible views and a lot of movie history you get to see. Highly recommend

One of my favorite places to take my friends to sightsee & take pictures. You have a perfect view of Chinaman's hat and Kaneohe bay.Tons of free parking, it's a great place to have a huge BBQ party, picnic tables, taking your dogs for a run or a picnic for 2.You can even camp there overnight with a permit, although they close the gates at night.The beach is a stroll for a walk thin stretch of sand, that is shamefully littered at times.Although you can paddle out to the hat, it's not the best place to enjoy a swim.One time we were swimming in the little cove by the lifeguard station and realized, there were 3-4 baby hammerhead sharks swimming along us, and although harmless ,I jumped out so fast so I wouldn't meet Mama shark! LOLOverall, it's always my go to place to enjoy life...

Was not very busy when we were hear. Great views on the beach and mountains. Plenty of photo ops whether you are just stopping through or wanting to spend more time enjoying the view.

While passing through the windward side of Oahu, we stopped at this park which has an up close view of Mokoli'i Island in Kāneohe Bay. The mass is a basal islet located less than a half mile offshore of Kualoa Point. Some folks have nicknamed it a certain term because of how the shape resembles the hat of an old school laborer of Asian descent. The preferred use of Mokoli'i means 'little lizard' in Hawaiian.The park was flat and very spacious. There were numerous groups hosting parties, picnics, potlucks, etc on that afternoon. The scenery wasn't as gorgeous as some of the beaches elsewhere in Oahu. I was more impressed with the mountains to the north overlooking the highway. Apparently, Hollywood must have also liked these same views at Kualoa Ranch, enough so to use them as backdrops in a few blockbuster movies.At low tide, you can kayak, surf, or swim to the island and explore. After reaching the shore, there is even a short hike you can take to the peak. We snapped some requisite photos and briefly strolled the grounds before departing. If there was more time and a specific occasion, then I would consider returning to check out Kualoa Regional Park in detail. For now, I gave a three star experience for our visit.
