Location 01Kualoa Ranch
Oahu, Ka'a'awa Ticketed
Filmed here: Hukilau Cafe exterior and road scenes where Lucy drives to work
Kualoa Ranch stood in for the Hukilau Cafe and the road Lucy drives on her way to work. The cafe itself was a set built on the ranch rather than a real restaurant, so do not expect to order breakfast there. The ranch is open to the public with paid admission and runs tours, including movie location tours alongside horseback riding and other activities. It is one of Oahu's most popular visitor attractions.
Location 02Sea Life Park
Oahu, Waimanalo Ticketed
Filmed here: Henry's workplace with marine animals including walrus and penguin scenes
Henry's workplace, the marine park full of walruses and penguins, was filmed at Sea Life Park in Waimanalo. It operates today as a public aquarium and marine park with paid entry, and dolphin encounters are available for visitors who want more than a walk-through. Of all the film's locations, this is the one that most closely matches what appears on screen, since the production used a working facility.
Location 03Makapu'u Point Lighthouse
Oahu, Waimanalo Free to see
Filmed here: One of the first kiss locations in the montage
The lighthouse area served as one of the first kiss locations in the film's montage. Today it is public land with a hike to a viewpoint; the trail is open, but the lighthouse itself has no interior access. The walk along the coast offers sweeping views toward the ocean, and the modest effort required makes it an easy addition to a day exploring the Waimanalo area.
Location 04Dillingham Ranch
Oahu, Mokuleia Private property
Filmed here: Car crash scene and North Shore locations
The car crash scene and other North Shore footage were shot at Dillingham Ranch in Mokuleia, on Oahu's northwestern coast. This is private property with limited access, generally only through tours or special events, so independent travelers should not expect to drive in. It sits near other North Shore beaches and sights, so the area is still rewarding to explore even when the ranch gates are closed.
Location 05Kaneohe Bay / Whitmore House area
Oahu, Kaneohe Outside only
Filmed here: Lucy Whitmore family home exterior
The Whitmore family home exterior was filmed in the Kaneohe Bay area on Oahu's windward side. It is a private residence, so viewing is limited to the road or nearby public spots. Respect the owners' privacy and keep any stop brief. The bay itself is scenic, with boat tours available in the wider area, and the surrounding ko'olau mountain backdrop explains why the production chose this spot.
Location 06Heeia Kea Small Boat Harbor
Oahu, Kaneohe Free to see
Filmed here: Henry's boat docking scenes
The scenes where Henry's boat docks were filmed at Heeia Kea Small Boat Harbor, a public harbor in Kaneohe. Visitors can walk the docks and watch working boats come and go, and boat tours operate in the area for those wanting time on the water. It is a low-key stop, free to visit, and pairs naturally with the Whitmore house area since both sit on the same stretch of windward coastline.
Location 07Halona Blowhole
Oahu, Honolulu Free to see
Filmed here: Romantic scene near blowhole
A romantic scene near the blowhole was filmed at Halona Blowhole on Oahu's southeastern coast. It remains one of the island's most popular scenic overlooks, with parking and a viewing area open to the public. Depending on conditions, the blowhole can put on a dramatic show of ocean spray. The stop requires no hiking and sits a short drive from Honolulu, making it an easy add-on.
Location 08Trump National Golf Club
California, Rancho Palos Verdes Ticketed
Filmed here: Golf scene with Henry and Ula
The golf scene with Henry and Ula was filmed at this private club in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. Access is limited to members, guests, and select events, so a casual visit is generally not possible. The coastal setting in Rancho Palos Verdes is scenic in its own right, and the surrounding peninsula offers public parks and viewpoints for travelers tracing the California side of the production.
Location 09Six Flags Discovery Kingdom
California, Vallejo Ticketed
Filmed here: Walrus Cove and shark tunnel interiors
The Walrus Cove and shark tunnel interiors were filmed at this theme park in Vallejo, California, when it operated as Six Flags Marine World. Unlike the Hawaii locations, these scenes were shot inside animal exhibits far from the Pacific islands. The park is open to the public with paid admission, so fans can walk through the same tunnel spaces that appear in the film and see marine animals up close.
Location 10Cabrillo Beach Bathhouse
California, San Pedro Free to see
Filmed here: Hospital scene
The hospital scene was filmed at the Cabrillo Beach Bathhouse in San Pedro, California. The surrounding beach area is public, and the bathhouse itself is used for events, so access to the interior depends on what is scheduled. San Pedro sits in the Los Angeles harbor area and is easy to reach from the city, making it a simple stop for anyone pairing film locations with a southern California itinerary.
