Our Kualoa Grown Tour, also known as the Taste of Kualoa Farm Tour, allows guests to see the beauty and tranquility of one of Oahu’s most well-preserved ancient Hawaiian fishponds (Moli’i), which is carbon-dated at between 800 and 1,000 years old. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior, you’ll get to learn about early Hawaiian aquaculture practices and how fish was farmed in this 153-acre actively farmed fishpond, still standing with much of the original stonewall infrastructure in place. Moli’i fishpond has been continually used to raise fish for the last 800 years!
Guests will travel on a Trolley to explore the tropical fruit and flower gardens of Moli’i along the shores fronting our “Secret Island.” Admire the accomplishments of the early Hawaiians as the rich stories of the voyaging canoe and ancient fishpond unfold.

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.
