BEYOND thrilled with our experience! So cool to learn the history & function of the reserve and also about the TV/movies that were filmed there. Our tour group size was perfect, so everyone had time to ask questions and get pictures taken by the tour guide. I regret that I don’t remember her name (she had a nickname) but her dinosaur was named Peaches. She was so funny and extremely knowledgeable and personable. Yes, you need to book far in advance and believe me, it’s worth it. It’s no surprise that this tour sells out, especially during Hawaii’s busy months. So yes, if you want to come in the fall then BOOK in the summer. Their website does mention that these tours sell out FAST. Definitely get the 2-hour tour…you won’t regret it. I love that they had breakfast available for us early-morning tour guests. My ONLY complaint is that the 8:30 am tour was not eligible for shuttle service from the hotel, so we had to rent a car, which was an added headache. The hotel we booked was supposed to have one until I got the confirmation email that said this tour time didn’t have a shuttle. All-in-all, the UTV tour more than made up for this, though, and at least then we could come and go at our leisure. HIGHLY recommend to everyone and already looking forward to our next trip. 

My Fav Place on Oahu

“This is the place to visit if you are ever going to Oahu. If you ever want to get away from touristy Waikiki, head to Kualoa ranch with plenty to do: movie tours, horseback, ATV, beach – or if you just want to relax. I think this is the REAL Hawaii most people are looking for when on vacation. The place itself is paradise!”

Super Beautiful and Fun

“Have nothing but good things to say. We had an amazing time on our ATV tour, our tour guide was super fun, the facilities are well managed and clean, the views are breathtaking. We would definitely come again one day and recommend to others! Thank you!”

Great Place for Fun and Excitement!

“This ranch was amazing! Beautiful area! Nice staff! Ziplining was absolutely the most fun! Every event/tour is well worth the money!”

Movie Sites and Ranch Tour was Fun!

“We visited Kualoa Ranch to do the Movie sites and Ranch tour. We really enjoyed the tour. The Ranch is a beautiful place and a very exciting and interesting history. So much has happened and is happening on the property. It would be a fantastic place to spend a whole day with lots of fantastic activities available. The tour was fun, with a fabulous commentary by our host and bus driver. She was entertaining and kept us involved. It was great to see where some of the movies were filmed and to hear stories about the some of the actors. We would recommend this tour if you have only a limited time.”

Beautiful Day at Beautiful Location

“Our family of 5 did a multi tour package that included horseback riding, the Jungle tour, and the catamaran boat tour. Everything was well organized, staff members were all polite and helpful, and our day ran very smoothly. Lunch that was provided was delicious and there was lots of cool information shared about the grounds. All around a lovely day that our children (Teens) will remember fondly!”

Worth the Visit!

“The Jungle Tour was ideal for young children — guides were fun and informative, scenery was incredible and the bumpy safari-truck style ride added just enough excitement. My son’s favorite part was driving through the Indominus Rex holding pen from Jurassic World. The Ranch is well-maintained and has an impressive history that they seem to be working hard to preserve. We didn’t have a car, so it was nice that they provided transportation from Waikiki. The bus got us there early, which gave us a chance to eat at their cafeteria. It was quite good!”

Must See and Do

“The ranch as a whole is pretty amazing. From the history of famous people that have visited, to the animals right when you arrive. We chose the zip line tour, myself, my best friend, and my mom. We all had a blast. The bus ride out to the lines you get to see a lot of movie sets. The scenery is beyond amazing too. Then actually zip lining was pure amazing. The guides were awesome and informative. Ariel was our favorite. Aside from parasailing was our favorite thing we did on the island!”

Beautiful

“Did the bus ride movie tour. Our guide had a great sense of humor. She made sure everyone had a good time. Seeing where many classic films were set was really cool. Especially since some of the props are still in place. The tour was informative and the whole ranch is just stunning. Very beautiful.”

Great Time!

“This is our third time to Kualoa Ranch and is always the highlight of our vacations to Oahu. We always take the two hour ATV tour and have never been disappointed. Our tour guides were Travis & Palo. They were so much fun, filled with information and focused on our safety at all times. There is always something new to see and the natural beauty of the ranch is breathtaking. In our opinion the tour guides make this place. Keep up the good work!”
