![]() Turns out his parents owned the house and the land and it was indeed the house were Elvis vacationed. He was more than friendly and happy to chat with these 4 crazy Elvis fans standing there taking photos of an empty piece of land. As luck would have it (or was Elvis looking down on us?) the caretaker arrived to do some work on the vacant land. Time to travel a little further up the coast to find what was on the top of Elvis things to see -the house where Elvis spent his very last vacation in March 1977.Īs we stood there and tried to match trees, walls and neighboring properties to the photos we had of Elvis' March '77 vacation there - we were 90% sure we were in the right place. And after many a U-Turn along the highway and after sizing up LOTS of palm trees, we were certain that we found the same one. ![]() Of course we wanted to find the exact palm tree that Elvis sat by to shoot the scene in the movie. Although I had been there before, it was still a disappointment as its a wonderful place to snorkel and spend the day swimming at the beautiful beach.įurther up the coast we searched for the famous "Chinaman's Hat" - where Elvis shot a scene from Paradise Hawaiian Style. Little did we know that the bay and beach park is closed every Tuesday. After a lovely scenic drive up the West Coast we had perfect weather and were keen to get some snorkelling in on the beach where Chad and Maile hung out and many of Blue Hawaii's scenes were filmed.
