Kualoa Ranch... Last day today. Went to Kualoa Ranch and took a 90 minute open bus ride around the Ranch. Visited some film sets including Jurassic Park, Jumanji and Kong Skull Island. Got some great photos at the Ranch. After that we tried Manoa Falls again for a hike - it was open but it was raining and we were warned that it was muddy and slippery so we didn’t do it in the end.

Jurassic Park set. Helicopter crash set from Kong Skull Island. Gates to some secret new film.. we were told it will be called "Triple Frontier".

It was really beautiful and had some really unusual trees and plants. Took some lovely photos. There were a handful of cars in the parking spot but I didn’t see anyone else in the gardens. The walk around was lovely and peaceful. Unfortunately we had to keep to the paths as all the other areas, like the creek bed walk, were closed off due to the rains. The main island had over 51 inches of rain due to Hurricane/Tropical storm Lane. Can’t even imagine what it would be like to have that much rain in such a short period of time. Mokuleia Beach... Went for a drive to the other end of the island and on the way found a nice little...
