Hawaii Movie Tour: Kauai's Legendary Film Locations

Step onto the actual sets of Jurassic Park, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Descendants on this expert-guided island tour that reveals Kauai as Hollywood's most beloved backlot. Cinematic, fun, and surprisingly moving.

What to expect

Board a comfortable, air-conditioned coach and journey to over a dozen iconic filming locations across the island — the Jurassic Park waterfall, the plantation roads of The Descendants, the Fern Grotto used in South Pacific, and the dramatic cliffs of the Nā Pali that doubled for Skull Island. At each stop, the guide plays the original scene on the coach screen before you walk the ground yourself. It's part film school, part island tour, entirely unforgettable.
