LOST Locations

The broad, majestic Ko’olau mountain ridge seen in a memorable wide shot in the pilot episode (“Pilot,” Ep. 1×01) is viewed from Ka’a'awa Valley, also known as Kualoa Valley. The same view is revisited during the conversation between Jacob and the Man in Black during Season Six (“Ab Aeterno,” Ep. 6×09). The valley contains a number of iconic “LOST” locations.

A scenic point approximately halfway up Makapuu Lighthouse Trail, a popular hiking trail and lookout at Makapuu Point (part of the Ka Iwi State Scenic Shoreline) in East Honolulu, has been used for several “LOST” scenes. First, it was the cliff where Hurley is told by Dave to jump (“Dave,” Ep. 2×18). Secondly, it was where Ben brought Sawyer to show him that he’s on a second island (“Every Man For Himself,” Ep. 3×04). Finally, this is also where the base of The Lighthouse where Jack and Hurley went to meet Jacob (“The Lighthouse,” Ep. 6×05) was built. (continue reading…)

The airfield where Mr. Eko’s brother Yemi was shot (“The 23rd Psalm,” Ep. 2×10) was Dillingham Airfield near Kaena Point. It’s also where parts of the widebody Oceanic Airlines 747 and Nigerian Beechcraft were stored. Very little of the planes remain as of November 2009. (continue reading…)

The gas station where Sawyer and Cassidy pulled their jewelry con (“The Long Con,” Ep. 2×13) was Waialua Service, formerly Eric’s Expert Service, in Waialua (67-016 Farrington Hwy.). The station’s actual name and sign (at the time) were actually used in the episode. (continue reading…)

Mr. Eko’s Nigerian village (“The 23rd Psalm,” Ep. 2×10), and the spot where Sawyer and Cassidy planned their jewelry con (“The Long Con,” Ep. 2×13) were all filmed in historic Waialua town, anchored by the former Waialua Sugar Mill. The mill complex is now home to several specialty and industrial retailers. (continue reading…)

The suburban home where Sawyer and Cassidy shacked up (“The Long Con,” Ep. 2×13) was played by model homes in Mililani Mauka (Lehiwa Dr.). Specifically, developer Castle & Cooke’s “American Classics” showcase “Residence 2″ (living room and entry) and “Residence 6″ (bedroom). These are now private homes. (continue reading…)

The show has used two homes on this residential street in Waikele. First, the suburban home that Locke inspected for Nadia (“Lockdown,” Ep. 2×17), is 94-1003 Alelo St. Second, almost directly across the street is the home where Locke and Helen lived (“The Substitute,” Ep. 6×04). These are private residences. (continue reading…)

The stadium where Jack first meets Desmond (“Man of Science, Man of Faith,” Ep. 2×01), and where we later see Penny track him down (“Live Together, Die Alone, Ep. 2×23), is Aloha Stadium (99-500 Salt Lake Blvd.), the largest sports venue in Hawaii. The stadium was revisited in Season 6, when Desmond tracks down Penny in the flash-sideways (“Happily Ever After,” Ep. 6×11). (continue reading…)

The diner where Sawyer met with Hibbs, and where Kate’s mom, Diane, also surfaced (“The Long Con,” Ep. 2×13), is Bob’s Big Boy (2828 Paa St.). The restaurant was closed after a fire in April 2009 but the owners have said they plan to reopen. (continue reading…)

The psychic that Claire visited (“Raised by Another,” Ep. 1×10), who also appeared in a Mr. Eko flashback (“?” Ep. 2×21) lived at the historic Manoa Valley Inn near the University of Hawaii (2001 Vancouver Dr.). The interior was also used for the coroner’s office. This location was also where Charlie’s childhood nightmare sequence was filmed (“Fire+Water,” Ep. 2×12). (continue reading…)
