5:34
helmet right there now evidently there
5:37

5:39
do not have a guide with you so you
5:42
could have four people on an ATV those
5:46
the driver is part of your party we have
5:47
opted to have the guide and because of
5:50
that they're saying we're not going to
5:51
get as Dusty because the cars with the
5:54
guides are at the front of the pack so
5:56
we might not get as Dusty as someone
5:58
that's in the back
6:00
ready ready to go I got to put
6:10
my oh that's not good getting the first
6:10
little dyo over here look at
6:31
these here's our Char
6:31
guys one in the front two in the back
6:34
you guys in the back all right we're
6:36
just waiting on our guide we're all
6:38
secured ready to

6:48
Tour or it's just someone bicycling
6:50
through the
6:52
property right on the other side of this
6:55
uh California grass that is where we
6:58
keep a lot of the incoming
7:00
horses koaw is a rescue kind of
7:03
sanctuary for the horses so a lot of the
7:06
horses that you do see were taken from
7:10
Hill shelters around the US and brought
7:27
here then we're going to be coming up to
7:27
our World War II Section and
7:29
subsequently the bunker at the very
7:32
top uh have you guys heard of the
7:34
concept of Hawaiian time yet yeah so
7:38
Hawaiian Time translates to it gets done
7:40
when it gets
7:42
done so the contractors that they had
7:45
building all of this it got done 2 years
7:48
after World War II
7:50
ended the radio relay right so sto them
7:55
from figuring out hey there's an attack
7:58
coming there that's the one I always say
8:00
make sure you bring out your phones take
8:02
pictures send it to your co-workers and
8:05
family members still at
8:07
home just a quick little hey thinking
8:10
about
8:20
you is this the bunker that has the Lost
8:20
canoe in it y this is the one this is
8:23
the one
8:42
wow you guys already
8:44
know this was the bunker that they
8:46
initially left but we have no use for a
8:49
bunker so we multi-purposed it into our
8:53
movie
8:54
Museum so this is where all the movies
8:57
they if they left any type of uh concert
9:00
to be
9:07
long super cool if they left any like
9:07
costumes or set pieces we took it put it
9:11
in there another interesting thing fake
9:16
mountain yeah real mountain oh that's
9:26
fake did a really good job yeah yeah
9:26
yeah oh my God uhoh somebody lost a hat
9:31
we got a hat
9:48
now there are a few stops I believe
9:48
three times we're going to get off the
9:50
vehicle
10:17
I told you no dirt
10:17
baby that gu saying oh you're in the
10:19
front no
10:21
dirt in fact told her we could take the
10:23
Little Neck Gator off here in the front
10:26
no dirt
10:30
us going to a lot of our movies so our
10:33
most uh notable one anyone happen to
10:36
want to take a guess of what that is
10:38
Jurassic
10:39
Park which one first one first one one
10:45
yes so I'd like to ask my guest how much
10:47
of the first Jurassic Park do you think
10:49
was fillmed on the ranch M shame shout
10:52
out answers justce
10:54
Stampede 80% I just remembered you guys
10:58
did the Jurassic I didn't do
11:00
it I didn't do it you had the cliff
11:03
notes he didn't slide you the answers at
11:06
the for a test yes just fell forward and
11:11
the fear and Terror that you see on
11:13
those poor children's faces is 100%
11:17
authentic all of you who laugh right now
11:20
are absolute
11:21
monsters but don't worry I'm right there
11:23
with you I left my ass off it was
11:27
funny but because they did that minute
11:29
36 seconds it really opened up
11:31
Hollywood's eyes to the beauty of the
11:32
ranch so a lot of more places George of
11:35
the Jungle Mighty Joe Y janji the second
11:39
one not the first
11:41
one um the list goes on
12:06
so this part now we're going to be going
12:08
into a lot of more of our
12:09
agriculture so underneath this black
12:12
pent particularly we have tea leaves
12:16
cacao vanilla
12:18
bean and then honey beans you kind of
12:21
see the be boxes up yeah
12:25
yeah right over there
12:34
but that is just a very small
12:34
portion of the farm stuff that we
12:39
have it absolutely breaks my heart that
12:42
not a lot of people know George of the
12:44
Jungle anymore Brandon Frasier yeah
12:48
yeah a very fit Brandon
12:56
Frasier so that's from Georg Jung yeah
12:56
where right here fa actors for the years
12:58
have not been kind to that M yeah
13:02
but not kind to any of us really yeah
13:06
every time I look in the mirror I say
13:08
the same exact thing years have not been
13:11
kind watch that movie now
13:13
though thought about that
13:28
movie and we're going to have a part
13:28
right up over over here to the left I
13:31
like to call the Hawaiian vending
13:34
machine only because when you come up
13:36
over here and you see all of the coconut
13:39
trees and whatnot is built on an incline
13:42
okay so when there it's time for them to
13:44
harvest they go knock all the trees down
13:46
or the not the trees but the Coconuts
13:48
down coconuts roll down the hill and
13:50
then roll forward one
14:04
um this is all of our Citrus so lemons
14:05
limes
14:10
palamon cuz they got a department that
14:13
just works for horses yeah they have the
14:16
apartment that just works for cattle
14:39
he there's a reason the other vehicles
14:39
don't come up here yeah
14:44
well kind of the same vein if any of the
14:47
Jungle trucks or anything this is our
14:52
path if they come up there they're going
14:54
to hear it
15:04
but a lot of
15:04
people you know want after doing the
15:07
tours and stuff they want to move down
15:10
here and live here but they don't
15:13
uh they don't realize the cost of
15:27
living so have you guys seen those
15:27
little nut lace in white Mi
15:30
ke that's or we'll come up see them on
15:33
this side as well but the tree for
15:36
it was uh very very important to the
15:39
Hawaiian
15:56
people print for the very first
15:56
Godzilla the early 20 one that was I
16:00
believe when they were showing it
16:01
Godzilla's walking
16:04
path Mike and Dave need a date to the
16:07
wedding I've never seen it so I can't
16:10
really didn't even know seen it either I
16:12
saw it list I looking at Movies
16:14
fil yeah and then the kind of black
16:18
board with the white blip on top that is
16:21
the spot where they filmed for 51st
16:23
dates that was the part of the movie
16:26
where Lucy chased around oo with the
16:29
baseball
16:44
bat this is the part where they go she
16:44
walks down to go rescue the helicopter
16:48
pilot I think if I'm remembering the
16:51
Remake yeah the Remake hits the uh boom
16:56
boots and UV 40 starts playing and then
16:59
she starts dance
17:06
fighting and there the dilapidated
17:06
building that we see is kolo's
17:09
Airbnb oh nice $1 million a
17:12
night no I'm joking I
17:15
say I have to for legal reasons say that
17:18
I am joking and that is not an actual
17:27
Airbnb if I had a despair I pay to going
17:27
to stay there
17:30
yeah kind of like
17:34
a Warriors for the
17:37
eles and they would have a ritual of
17:40
going from the mountains to the ocean
17:43
and they would March in A procession
17:45
with their torches and
17:48
whatnot and if
17:50
you uh got in their
17:54
way they would kill you so now as their
17:57
Spirits continue the same thing that
17:59
they've done in life same principle if
18:03
you get in their way during their
18:19
March and like back in the where we had
18:19
that Overlook of the uh farming
18:23
area that Land part was
18:27
um technically where they kept like the
18:30
prisoners if they capur prisoners during
18:32
war time it's harass of world
18:35
approaching the UTV Department with
18:36
doing like night tours and no one wanted
18:39
to do
18:41
them I was going to say when's the last
18:43
tour go out uh they're back at the Depot
18:46
by 5 or 5:30
18:50
hello hello there
19:06

19:07
amazing that's quite the view ocean over
19:11
there Welcome to our Jurassic world to
19:15
movie prop right over here this bunker
19:17
completely fake okay so just wood
19:20
plaster a really good paint job and a
19:22
thin layer of concrete Adam show them
19:25
how fake
19:31
that's how so that one up there World
19:31
War II this one Jurassic world I okay
19:35
let's not get it mixed up cuz we got to
19:36
fake this alert run to that one run to
19:38
this one we're laughing at
19:59
you yeah it's not a real bunker
19:59
as you can see it's made out of wood
20:02
here movie
20:04
Magic oh yeah that is not not solid to
20:09
know what kind of dinosaur that
20:12
is very
20:15
close you guys have some things you guys
20:17
want to work out I see a lot of couples
20:19
here the drive to do it
20:26
okay the only thing that we ask is that
20:26
you keep them in the vehicle at all
20:27
times do not jet Us in the offending
20:30
party inject those fet not work on
20:44
this see you later
20:51
dinosaur I got just enough room for them
20:54
to crouch down and pop out of the bunker
20:57
as if they just just climbed
21:00
out that's pretty
21:08
cool and then
21:08
approaching why are you
21:16
yelling but uh all of this stuff that
21:16
you're going to be seeing on the right
21:17
and left side is our tree
21:21
jail tree
21:24
jail these trees are all wanted
21:26
criminals
21:28
those cages for our
21:31
protection they are flight
21:34
risks these are C
21:36
trees So Co was at one time very in
21:43
dangered that's everybody loved the way
21:46
it looked it was a very nice hardwood so
21:48
they just kept chopping and chopping and
21:50
chopping not taking into account that Co
21:53
takes about 90 years to fully mature
22:02
so thanks to pooa and other Nature
22:02
Preserve efforts we've taken the uh COA
22:07
trees that were they're no longer in
22:09
danger but you won't recognize it
22:12
because it wasn't used in the
22:21
movie just uh you know a cool $60,000
22:21
down the drain
22:36
then a lot of the times they'll just
22:36
pull off to the side for I
22:38
speaker here I found out recently
22:40
there's a bunch of little fish I've seen
22:42
a turtle
22:45
once they're little white and black or
22:48
the kind of black spotted
22:56
fish people behind us have no idea that
22:56
there was once a turtle in there yeah no
22:58
clue they're driving
23:00
themselves and that's why we say taking
23:03
the ride along ones is always the best
23:04
one I agreed if you've never done the
23:06
tour before it is always good
23:09
because yeah exactly for that reason
23:11
they might never know that there was a
23:12
turtle there
23:37
probably it would look like or Hawaiian
23:37
home this would be where the village
23:39
would somewhat look like there is no
23:41
historical significance and why they
23:43
pick here it's just this was
23:46
a good enough place as any to build but
23:50
they did use traditional techniques when
23:53
building it so they used stone tools
23:56
filled all their stuff got all their all
23:59
the um ping and
24:09
stuff bu some I found some dinosaur
24:16
remains
24:18
sorry was using
24:20
Kong Skull Island Kong Skull Island
24:35
those are the only two cows that have
24:35
names yeah oh the uh Emily and the baby
24:40
is
24:41
Rosie those are the two long uh Longhorn
24:49
C the Brandon Frasier riding the
24:49
elephant spot from
24:51
George there and this was the spot where
24:53
they had the
25:00
log more the
25:21
teenagers and that pig a pig yeah so
25:21
that was the
25:23
AAA or land division so we just left
25:29
Kaa entered back into K
25:33
okay because back in those days it
25:36
wasn't uh land like property lines as we
25:39
do it it was
25:42
all
25:45
valleys one Valley would be one
25:47
territory the next Valley over would be
25:49
another
25:58
territory is it appropriate to wave here
25:58
yeah
26:02
okay what's the what's what's what's the
26:02
what's the
26:03
Shaka
26:04
so that's kind of the test if you if you
26:09
suspect it's a tourist cuz tourists will
26:11
always go like this yeah
26:14
but just like that you do it Loose got
26:17
to hang loose hang loose is that where
26:19
the term came from no um got matur
26:25
yeah that's uh that's also kind of the
26:28
second half of the
26:36
test you failed on both I'm sorry okay
26:36
oh
26:36
well learn something though so don't you
26:39
don't go hard in just kind of like loose
26:41

26:44

29:37

30:28
spot this is like a whole bottle that
30:28
look at all these wow row there row
30:31

30:49
one I'm kind of wondering if down there
30:49
was okanawa konad too
31:02
wow ocean water mixing together to
31:02
create brackish water in that pond right
31:04
over there so that high freshwater
31:06
content photosynthesis just happens and
31:08
a phytop and an algae boom so on the far
31:10
end right over there on that left side
31:12
you guys can't really see it but we'll
31:13
drive past there's a gate about this big
31:15
that's what the baby fish will come in
31:17
make this area of their home get nice
31:19
and fat and they try to swim out too
31:21
late me Adam and the rest of the ranch
31:23
are down there once a year for our
31:24
annual fishing competition and we're
31:26
catching you guys do fishing cuz it's
31:28
hard we catch cuz all we do is this and
31:30
pull it up um some of the biggest things
31:32
we caught is a 6ft Barracuda a 92 lb
31:35
Giant travali and then 30 30 something
31:38
pound was caught in this past over here
31:40
and it's all catch and release so they
31:42
all run that pond still on the left hand
31:44
side that's our oyster Farm we are the
31:46
only oyster Farm in the state it's a
31:48
Japanese oyster about this big um Duke
31:50
Wy ke sells them the good thing about
31:52
these oysters that they're suspended
31:53
above the ground so they're not
31:54
collecting like grit sand and dust so
31:56
they taste a lot sweeter
31:59
other than that this area right here if
32:00
you guys are familiar with like Jurassic
32:02
world this was a mosasaurus pit in the
32:04
movie um Jack Sparrow got the Black
32:06
Pearl from right over there raced his
32:08
way all the way out to who knows where
32:10
right over there in this bit also this
32:12
is where Adam Sandler did his crying on
32:14
the sailboat in 51st States right over
32:16
there and the Hooka Cafe built right
32:19
down over here in front of the fish pond
32:21
so you guys see the ocean in the back
32:22

32:24
right over there uh the real restaurant
32:26

32:27

32:29
close whenever they sell out and then in
32:31
front of that island where those palm
32:33
trees are you guys go back and watch
32:35
Karate Kid Part to that's Okinawa that
32:37

33:18
there kind
33:19
of feel like we should be listening to

33:29
the guy the villain comes sliding down
33:32

33:33
lights like slides down and Daniel and
33:36

34:12
medum
34:29
theide here um a bunch of red flags
34:29
which contrary
34:30
to real life in this case red flags are
34:35
good uh all the red flags you see is
34:37
where a invasive species was taken
34:41
out
34:54
you
34:54
so that was the depiction of cool
34:58
um the do of War politic and this part I
35:02
is my alltime favorite part of the
35:04
entire tour the minute we turn this bend
35:08
it is
35:21
drops well that end it's just the
35:21
entire picture of it all
35:42
or I can at
35:44
least every tour guide has an area of
35:47
the ranch that they just click with this
35:50
one was mine
36:14
a couple of the cold trees a little bit
36:14
farther along
36:47
you have all of this peaceful tranquil
36:47
area and then right as then you go into
36:51
boom helicopter oh
36:55
wow it's coold Island Kong stall Island
36:59
this is awesome I didn't see this
37:01
before hey look at
37:07
that
37:07
nice well also too the Lost hatch was
37:11
right over here oh
37:16
wow you going to grab a photo of it get
37:19
it
37:31
uh 3 hour it's the biggest set we still
37:31
had on the ranch this is the indominous
37:33
Rex enclosure
38:03
you no um it's all agreed upon in the uh
38:06
Contracting
38:08
stage so we only allow about 1% of the
38:12
films to leave their
38:19
sets we all over here this
38:24
morning ah why are you making me liar
38:34
busy oh no they're
38:44
there well the only problem is the judge
38:44
didn't know how to Branch nor did any of
38:49
HS so of all people they beseeched to
38:52
help off the Mexican
38:55
people y the Mexican people came taught
38:59
the Hawaiians how to Ranch be ponos
39:02
Cowboys they also brought all of these
39:04
monkey pot
39:07
trees primarily because when the monkey
39:10
pod
39:11
grew and it would provide a bunch of
39:14
shade for the
39:16
cattle and then when the military took
39:18
over saw those they said that's a great
39:21
idea because it was also great
39:23
concealment so they came threw up a
39:26
bunch more monkey
39:28
trees so they could hide their troops
39:30
and
40:01
careful heads up there cow heads up
40:01
there
40:32
another tour in front of us here it's a
40:32
big big bus big green bu a couple of our
40:36
four-legged tour guides Tak all right
40:40
and that's
40:41
it back
40:44
to well I do hope you guys enjoyed
40:47
yourselves we love
40:49
it yes great and that's going to do it
40:53
for today I got to say that tour was
40:55
pretty good definitely a lot different
40:56
than the other tour what I did which was
40:58
the Jurassic
40:59
tour and if I ever return who knows when
41:02
the heck that will be maybe I'll do the
41:03
full movie tour the Jurassic tour did
41:06
show some of the Jurassic sites and the
41:08
ATV tour we were on showed a few of
41:10
those as well but kind of just blew past
41:12
a lot of the movie sites even though I
41:13
did show a couple that were in there we
41:16
didn't stop at a few there were a lot
41:18
just kind of went by very very quickly
41:20
pasted I would imagine the movie tour is
41:23
a little more extensive but you don't
41:25
get the off-road aspect of the ATV vour
41:27
I really enjoyed it I liked it lot of
41:30
different variety of things that you can
41:32
do here it kualoa
41:34
Ranch in aahu Hawaii thanks for watching
