Where was Lost filmed?

Following the Flight 815 crash, Dr. Jack Shephard quickly displayed his strengths and leadership skills. It was an uphill task given that they were all coming to terms with their new normal, on top of dealing with a group of people with conflicting characters. One of the most iconic “Lost” scenes happened in the fifth episode of the show's first season dubbed "White Rabbit." Shephard gave the survivors a moving speech summed up by sharing the sentiment, “if we can’t live together, we are going to die alone." In cinematic fashion, the words resurfaced as the premise of the second season's finale episode titled "Live Together, Die Alone." The scene was amongst those filmed at Mokulē‘ia Beach, alongside others depicting the first instances when viewers get acquainted with the 48 Flight 815 crash survivors. Located on Oahu's northwest tip, it’s a great place for snorkeling, surfing, skydiving, kayaking, and gliding. It's close to the Dillingham Airfield on North Shore Oahu, where you can still find the burnt-out fuselage of Flight 815 in a caged enclosure. That makes the beach highly accessible and bus 76 will also get you there.

The first season ended with an epic cliff-hanger when John Locke (Terry O'Quinn), Jack, Kate, and Hurley blew open the hatch door. It would be months before the second season aired and fans finally found out what was hidden behind the large steel entrance.

Boone Carlyle (Ian Somerhalder) and Locke had discovered the hatch on one of their hunts for Ethan Rom (William Mapother). They spent weeks excavating the site trying to uncover what was hidden within before finally letting the rest in on it. When the scene picked up in the second season, it perfectly captured Locke's words from the " Deus Ex Machina," episode. “It was a dream, but... it was the most real thing I've ever experienced.”

Also known as The Swan, a Dharma Initiative station, The Hatch scenes were shot at the He'eia Kea State Park. The area was excavated for filming and once the “Lost” production wrapped, the area was restored back to its original form.

Open seven days each week, the Park is a lovely place to go for family picnics. The picturesque views of the nearby Ko'olau Mountains are visible from the grounds which also house a garden filled with diverse flora to explore.

Get to He'eia Kea State Park via Bus 60 or 65 from the Honolulu - Ala Moana Center. It's a four-minute walk from the Kamehameha Hwy + Heeia State Park.

Episode 11 of the third season titled "Tricia Tanaka Is Dead" is summed up as the calm before the storm. Hurley is able to get the broken-down Volkswagen van running with Sawyer (Jim LaFleur), Jin, and Charlie lending a hand.

Hurley is portrayed as a highly perceptive person, even when he gets a good chuckle out of viewers by saying things like “maybe the dog can find water. I mean, dogs can find pot and bombs, so I’m sure they can find water.”

That's why he saw the act of fixing the van as having faith in teamwork as well as an opportunity to redeem himself after several initial fumbles. The Kualoa Ranch lent its grounds to the van fixing scenes alongside other scenes like the golf course, The Tempest and The Arrow stations, and the security fence.

You can visit the "Lost" locations on one of their Hollywood Movie Sites & Ranch Tour. The Jurassic Adventure Tour takes you on a thrilling journey around the Hakipu’u and Ka’a’awa Valleys to check out spots where the "Jurassic World" and "Jurassic Park" films were made. Getting to Kualoa Ranch is a breeze with options including the 88A, 8, 60, 19, 42, 20, or 23 buses from Waikiki.

The third season opened with a literal bang seen in the first episode titled "A Tale of Two Cities." It opens with Juliet Burke (Elizabeth Mitchell) leading a book club which is soon interrupted by the commotion caused by a crash.

As everyone floods out of their houses to witness the incident, viewers get a different perspective of the 815 crash. The inhabitants of the island, known as The Others, had just gotten a front-row seat to the tragic event. As the season progresses, they are introduced as a civilized community, and we learn that Juliet is a fertility doctor. Hence her later statement, "doctors make the worst patients.”

YMCA Camp Erdman served as the backdrop of "Dharmaville," which The Others forcefully took over from the Dharma Initiative workers. Located on the North Shore of Oahu, the property hosts day and summer camps for kids, weekend family camps, and group retreats. There are plenty of fun activities offered on-site including health and fitness programs.

Best still, Camp Erdman provides optional transportation to and from the grounds via 1441 Pali Highway and Honolulu HI 96813. They can also arrange airport transfers from the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (KHNL).

Claire Littleton (Emilie de Ravin) and Charlie Pace (Dominic Monaghan) eventually move to the caves alongside other survivors. The seventh episode of the first season titled "The Moth," took viewers on Charlie's journey battling addiction issues.

He eventually beats the heroin addiction and later, in the tenth episode titled "Raised by Another," Charlie tells Claire “if I can kick drugs, I can deliver a baby.” It was also the episode when the two were kidnapped, but leading up to it, they had shared a lighthearted moment.

Not able to find peanut butter for Claire, upon her request as an incentive for moving to the caves, they bonded over an empty jar pretending that it was filled with the delicious treat. Despite their circumstances, the two had formed a genuine friendship and were able to make the smallest things feel special.

A soundstage constructed within an empty Xerox parts warehouse was used for the cave scenes in the first season. For the second season, the sound stage was relocated to the state-owned Hawaii Film Studio which also doubled up as the production offices. That's where the iconic "Swan Station" scenes were filmed on the “Lost” film set as well as the third season's "Hydra Station" scenes. You can get to the Hawaii Film Studio via bus 9, 2, 3, or 2L.

The church scene is one of the most heartwarming scenes from "Lost," and it also served as a pivotal point in tying loose ends. In the story, the Los Angeles church was a Dharma station known as The Lamp Post and it was one of the outside locations used to connect to the island.

Another great payoff for viewers was watching Jack move on along with his loved ones and the other 815 survivors. The underlying message was that the meaningful bonds formed between the individuals transcended death, as captured by his father's words.

Christian Shephard (John Terry) told him " Nobody does it all alone. You needed them, and they needed you." The St. Margaret Mary Chapel located within the Sacred Hearts Academy was the setting of the show's flash-sideways ending, which confused many but was a beautiful way to wrap up the show nonetheless.

The same location served as the setting for the exterior shots seen in the same episode. Located at 3253 Waialae Ave in Honolulu, the Line 1 bus can get you to Sacred Hearts from Honolulu Airport.
