Drive up the Wailua River a few miles and take the steep road down to your left across from Opaeka'a Falls to Kamokila Village, where you will travel back in time---at least to 1995 when a gaggle of well-known Hollywood Stars (Dustin Hoffman, Rene Russo, Morgan Freeman, Cuba Gooding Jr., Kevin Spacey) collaborated to make the underrated science fiction movie, Outbreak. Even so, the former bang-bang movie set is not a tourist trap. Thanks to the infusion of dough from Hollywood, the family who operated the village for generations was able to rehab the grounds and restore the recreated Hawaiian village that had been smashed by Hurricane Iniki a few years earlier.
