Many of the scenes in The Descendants were filmed in and around Hanalei Bay on Kauaiâs North Shore. Hanalei Bay is a stunning beach that has striking mountains as its backdrop. This beautiful Kauai beach was used for several scenes in the George Clooney film, The Descendants.
Kauai remains a popular film location. Movies including this year's 'The Descendants' and 'Just Go With It,' 'Jurassic Park' and 'South Pacific' have been filmed on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. What it is: The Wailua River traverses several ecosystems. You move from forested river banks and tall cliffs to lush green rain forest as you wind upriver. The Fern Grotto is downstream of where movies have been filmed. What it starred in: Scenes for The Lost World: Jurassic Park were shot upriver from the Fern Grotto. Scenes from Outbreak (1995) and Pagan Love Story (the 1950 Esther Williams musical) were also shot here. Tillson recommends kayaking up the Wailua, Kauai's only navigable river.
