Much to my sheer disappointment there is little to nothing in Oahu even remotely like in that movie it seems to have all been swallowed up by a concrete jungle of commercialism except the windward side of the island. Too bad you didn't know about the secret of Punalu'u, a little town just down the road from the PCC. Tucked behind a row of hau along the Hwy., across from the beach park was the real Hawaii fantasy come to life on about an acre fronting the mountainous backdrop, all from the hands of Prince David Kaapu. Google it, and check out ebay for some recent pix of the man and his way. Truly incredible and special, nearly beyond description. Tiki freaks, this was the real McCoy, and I don't remember even seeing any tiki.
