Oahu Nature and Hiking Tours - Kualoa Ranch Half Day Hawaiian Experience Combo

Description:

This Half Day Hawaiian Experience Combines Ocean Voyaging and the Hawaiian Fishpond and Garden Tour.

It is impossible to see all of Kualoa Ranch in a short time. The property stretches for five miles along the coast and includes three mountains, two valleys and 4,000 acres. It can take an entire day to see this magical and historical place, which is why we have five fun and informative tours that explore the vastly different areas on the Ranch. Immerse yourself in Kualoa Ranch, Hawaii at its best.

Ocean Voyaging - The Hawaiian Islands are the most isolated group of islands in the world. Using only the stars, the ancient Hawaiians traveled to and populated these islands about 1000 years ago.Learn about ancient Hawaiian navigation on the Ocean Voyaging Tour. The tour goes into the beautiful Kaneohe Bay aboard a very comfortable 49 passenger catamaran past the famous Mokoli`i Island (Chinaman's Hat) and Hokule`a Beach, the ceremonial home of the first modern replica of an ancient sailing canoe. The views of Kualoa Ranch and Koolau mountains from the ocean are unmatched and the lively historical narration is educational and enjoyable.

Hawaiian Fishpond and Garden Tour - The Hawaiian Fishpond and Garden Tour explores different facets of this rich history by going through fields of tropical flowers, fruit trees and gardens before venturing out on Moli`i Fishpond. The early Hawaiians settled these islands and developed some of the most advanced agricultural practices in the world for a Stone Age culture. After Captain Cook "discovered" the islands in 1778, more agricultural developments occurred in Hawaii that would leave a permanent mark on the physical, cultural and social landscape of Hawaii.
