"This 4,000-acre private nature reserve moonlights as an adventure playground and also a film set. Kaaawa Valley serves as Hollywood's "Hawaii backlot" and has hosted more than four dozen shoots, ranging from Elvis hits to Jurassic Park and 50 First Dates . It recently blazed across the silver screen in 2016's Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates , as the stars forded rivers and tore past jungled mountains on ATVs. Visitors can follow in their tire treads with rip-roaring one- and two-hour tours. Riders must be 16 years old and wearing closed-toe shoes (long pants are also highly recommended). Add $15 for the Kualoa shuttle to and from Waikiki."
