My Visit to the Island

My family and I took a trip to Oahu back during the summer of 2008, and while we were there, we decided to find some of the places where Lost is filmed. I used the Lost Virtual Tour website to find where all of these places were located. Here are some of the pictures from that visit.
This is where Sun and Jin met in Korea. We found this site in Honolulu, on the Ala Wai Promenade.
This is the place where Sun and Jin were married. This is a temple on the windward side of Oahu called the Byodo-In Temple.


We drove by a building which on the show was the Hoffs Drawlar funeral home in the Season 3 Finale in Honolulu, as well as the barber shop that Jack parked in front of. The funeral home building wasn't as pretty as the barber shop.
We also drove by Mr. Cluck's Chicken Shack owned by Hurley, which is actually a Popeye's Chicken and Biscuits in Honolulu.
There are many other places that we got to see, showing the diversity that Oahu offers - giving Lost a perfect location to shoot scenes for anywhere in the world. On Oahu, we visited the Island beach, Nigeria, Tunisia, California, Sydney Australia, Sydney airport, the island cliffs, one of the island's Dharma stations, the jungle, and South Korea.
Not only is this a fun activity for Lost fans to do, but it also gives people a chance to experience many different parts of the beautiful island of Oahu.
