If you’ve ever been to the Hawaiian Islands, you’ll easily understand why so many movies have been filmed here. The sheer unparalleled exotic beauty of these islands with their multi-hued Pacific waters, backdrop of towering verdant mountain ranges, lush, tropical surroundings and stunning beaches makes for an ideal movie set. And here’s the best part – it’s all the real deal.

Add in gorgeous year-round weather and a fascinating Hawaiian culture, and it’s no wonder the land of aloha is the perfect place for movie makers. And the films they have made here are among the most iconic in the industry. As a lover of everything Hawaii and a frequent traveler to its islands, I’ve had the pleasure to visit these awe-inspiring movie locations.
