Our Kualoa Grown Tour, also known as the Taste of Kualoa Farm Tour, takes you through lush tropical farmlands to learn the vibrant heritage of Hawaiian farming and aquaculture methods, as well as current efforts toward sustainability and local food production.
Discover how Hollywood has played a part in efforts to preserve and maintain these important ecosystems and check out memorable photo ops of the stunning Kualoa mountain range. Crack open a cacao pod at the fields where our tree-to-bar chocolate is cultivated and learn about iconic Polynesian food staples like kalo (taro).
You’ll also experience the tranquil beauty of Molii fishpond, one of Oahu’s most well-preserved ancient Hawaiian fishponds. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior, this truly impressive feat of Hawaiian aquaculture features 4000 feet of original stonewall infrastructure built more than 800-1000 years ago!

Tour Reviews
Easy to use
My Husband and I visited Kualoa Ranch on our honeymoon. The package we pre-purchased came with hotel pickup and drop off, thank goodness for that or else it is a 1 hr (at best) drive out there. On arrival our bus load of people had to stay together as a staff member gave us a very brief tour of the check-in areas for different tours. Our first tour was the Garden and Fish Pond Tour. We drove in a no window bus down the road and were taken through an agricultural field of plants and trees, surprisingly very interesting. Next, we headed out to the fish pond where we learned about what fish they had there on a little boat, the view from here was amazing. The water pond and mountains were breathtaking.
We booked the fish pond and Garden tour and our tour guide was named Jimmy. I had a great time with him as my tour guide- I had so much fun and got to sample some of the things that are grown on the land. And I got a history lesson which I love because I love history. There is so much to do there you could spend the whole day there.
We took the Garden and Fish Pond Tour because we couldn’t get on the tour we wanted. As it turned out it was a very informative and enjoyable tour. We had a great tour guide, she lead the English tour. The catamaran cruise on the pond was wonderful. Highly recommended.
