Geocache Description:

The Cache is NOT at the Posted Coordinates!!! Solve the simple puzzle below to find the Cache.

This cache is one of the puzzle caches that make up the ALOHA from O'ahu (AFO) series. This series of caches, designed to take you on a tour of O'ahu, was created by GeoGerms in 2011-12 and adopted by Cache_Lee in 2021.

ALOHA from O'ahu

---Kualoa Ranch---

Established in 1850, Kualoa is a 4,000-acre working cattle ranch, spreading from the steep mountain cliffs to the sparkling sea. Located on the northeastern side of O'ahu in the Hawaiian countryside, it is 45 minute drive from Honolulu. The ranch terrain varies from dense rainforest to broad open valleys and from beautiful white sand beaches to verdant cliff faces. It is truly a paradise for outdoor recreation with many places accessible only by horseback, on an all-terrain vehicle, or by hiking.

If the views look familiar, that's because Kualoa has been the site of many television shows and Hollywood films such as Jurassic ParkWindtalkers, Pearl Harbor, Godzilla, Tears of the Sun and 50 First Dates. TV shows including LOST, the old and new Hawai'i Five-O, and Magnum PI.

The northern half of the property includes Ka'a'awa Valley which contains most of the movie locations. The southern half includes Hakipu'u Valley, the 800-year old Moli'i fishpond, and Secret Island.

Kualoa is one of the most historically significant destinations on O'ahu, and in ancient times, one of the most sacred places on the island.

 

The cache is NOT located on ranch property. Please watch out for passing cars.
