Description

Embark on a tour of Hawaii Five-0 filming locations around Oʻahu. Visit iconic sites from the show, from beaches to city landmarks, each tied to memorable episodes.

Go behind the scenes at the Hawaiʻi Film Studio, the production home of Hawaii Five-0, where sets, soundstages, and behind-the-scenes operations kept the show running for 10 seasons.

Cruise past McGarrett’s House (Bayer Estate), the famous oceanfront home that served as McGarrett’s residence. Fans will instantly recognize the Bayer Estate from countless episodes, making this one of the most photographed Five-0 landmarks on Oʻahu.

See Rachel’s House on Summer Street, a recurring location tied to Danny’s family storylines, especially scenes involving his daughter Grace.

Visit Māunalua Bay, where a kidnapping plot unfolds, making it one of the most memorable high-stakes coastal settings used in the series.

Stop at the Koko Head Stairs (Koko Crater Trail), a training spot for Alex O’Loughlin (McGarrett). Fans love knowing the actor used this grueling climb — known locally as Hawaiʻi’s “StairMaster” — to stay in McGarrett shape.

See the University of Hawaiʻi – Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology Research Pier (Kāneʻohe Bay), which doubled as a marine research facility and a secluded crime scene, lending authenticity to the series’ investigative storylines.

Visit Waimānalo Beach, where a diplomatic standoff unfolds, involving the Nation of Hawaiʻi. Explore Waimānalo Sherwood Forest, a lush, tree-filled park that has been a frequent backdrop for Hawaii Five-0 action scenes.

Stop at Pali Lookout, where Five-0 investigates a Halloween murder on the old Pali Highway, with the dramatic cliffs providing one of the most cinematic views on Oʻahu.

See the exterior of Hawaiʻi’s Supreme Court building, which doubled as Five-0’s headquarters. Fans will instantly recognize the statue of King Kamehameha standing out front — one of the show’s most photographed backdrops.

Explore Chinatown, a gritty backdrop for car chases, sting operations, and undercover work. Its mix of neon, historic architecture, and bustling markets gave the show a real “urban edge.”

Visit Magic Island (Ala Moana Beach Park), where Kono teaches Danny how to surf at this iconic beachfront park.

Stop at Kamekona’s Shrimp Truck, the fan-favorite shrimp truck where Kamekona (Taylor Wily) first appears, quickly becoming a beloved recurring setting.
