Lost on Oʻahu
Where the island played itself, and London, Sydney, Seoul and Iraq.
Six seasons of Lost were filmed on Oʻahu between 2004 and 2010, and the island played every country the story visited. The crash beach, the jungle and the Others’ camp were on the North Shore; London, Seoul and Sydney were a few blocks of downtown Honolulu.
Our lists split the locations by side of the island so you can do them a day at a time, with private places marked.
