I knew that many of the filming locations for the very first Jurassic Park were set in Hawaii. And I’ve always wondered about the location where the helicopter first approaches Isla Nublar.
Most Google searches suggest the Na Pali Coast on Kauai but I couldn’t find the little rock island that you see on the left in the video above. And by “find” I mean using the 3D view on Google maps and examining the entire Kauai coastline.
And that’s because this shot is not from Kauai, but Maui. This spot is known as Keopuka Rock or Jurassic Rock.
