AloHa blOg - daY 5

Day five consisted of a four hour ATV tour at Kipu Ranch. Many movies filmed throughout the ranch, including Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark, Outbreak, and Jurassic Park.

One of our first stops was at a rope swing seen in Raiders of the Lost Ark. In the movie, Harrison Ford swings into the river to get away from Indians and then takes off on a sea plane. All the boys had a blast doing various tricks into the river. Mom was the only brave girl willing to give it a try.

Throughout the day, we went to a few waterfalls and even stopped to feed some boars. They tried to catch one of the little babies, but were unsuccessful.

After the tour concluded, we decided to find a nearby “hidden gem” as our travel book called it. Kipu Falls is a favorite for the locals and daring tourists. To the side of the waterfall is a rope swing high up in the trees. It was a lot of fun watching the boys swing off the rope and fall 35 feet into the water below.
