Excellent Family Adventure

Reviewed by: Ashley Maneval, 2024/10/15

We did the movie sites tour which was great! Our tour guide was incredibly informative and very passionate about the ranch. We didn’t have a chance to do more like the Jurassic tour or zip lining, so if we get a chance to come back - those are on our list to do next time!

Best experience in Hawaii

Reviewed by: Jenny Garcia, 2024/08/21

Was the best experience in Hawaii. The driver was really friendly and nicely.
Kualoa Ranch is a beautiful place and you can enjoy with the family.
We did Hollywood Filming tour and was amazing, We saw the different places were many movies filmed and we loved the culture. You can see the plantation and different animals around of the ranch.
Thank you Kualoa Ranch for the best experience!

We lived everything in Kualoa Rach!

Dinosaur! Movie locations and exciting locations

Reviewed by: Hugh, 2024/01/21

It was exciting to see the actual locations where the movie was filmed spread out before my eyes. Please give it a try. The bus tour goes directly to the location, so you don't have to walk on mountain trails, so it's perfect for families with children.

Kualoa Ranch Hollywood tour

Reviewed by: Sree, 2024/01/07

We booked Hollywood tour at Kualoa ranch with our 2 little kids and we really enjoyed the experience. We also paid for pick up and drop off to Waikiki, which was really convenient.

The guide on the bus was really good and had lots of good information to share. We also enjoyed his humour.

Overall, we enjoyed the experience and will come back again.

One of the best tours on our vacation!

Reviewed by: Carlos R., 2023/07/19

So very glad I booked this excursion.
This was definitely by far one of our best excursions. We were able to see and learn so much about all the different movies filmed at this location. The trips were well timed and spaced apart enough that they did not overlap into one another. The guides were knowledgeable and very accommodating. Lunch was really good with great selections. I feel like a trip to O’ahu is not complete without this excursion. Will definitely recommend this excursion to others visiting Hawai’i.

I enjoy learning about WW2, so this was a nice tour for me. Seeing movie sites was super cool too. Our tour guide was great and very informative - but I'm sure this will be the luck of the draw for which guide you get.

Ranch Movie Tour

Reviewed by: Bitty, 2022/09/30

From pick up point to going home, the tour was incredible.
On arrival there was time to look at the other attractions such as the farmer's market, the petting zoo (get to pat a tortoise?)

I would say our guide had to be really good, if not, it is hard to appreciate locations (especially they are just views, really). Our tour guide would make up 85% of the tour.

This tour is recommended if you are a movie/TV fan.

Here is where you are!

Absolutely amazing!

Reviewed by: Gabrielle Albasini, 2022/09/11

I had the best time! All three tours were so much fun and the tour guides were super helpful and had many jokes which I appreciated a lot! This is definitely an activity you should wear closed toe shoes for as there are some small/ short hikes involved and if it rains like it did for me (which was okay because it still worked out perfectly) there will be quite a bit of mud so make sure you have on a pair of sneakers/trainers so that you can enjoy it as much as I did.
The tour guides were all super sweet and helpful and they make sure you’re comfortable and make you feel like Ohana:)

Kualoa Movie Tour

Reviewed by: Wong, 2022/09/01

I had doubt initially and I am glad I did it. It’s easy to book through this site. I booked it a day before the tour and luckily to find a time that was good for my family. The guide has great sense of humor. If you love Hollywood movies and TV shows, it’s a must see. You can also learn a lot about the ranch history. My family enjoyed it. Highly recommend!

Hollywood movie tour

Reviewed by: Andy , 2022/07/30

Not what we expected, drove round the hillsides in a bus looking at sign boards that said what was filmed there. Holes dug in the ground claiming they were dinosaur footprints but had to be filled in because cows were falling in them. Also film props of bones that were too fragile to be touched as they will break as they were made of polystyrene... really!

Great Island Adventure with Great Tour Guides!

Reviewed by: Hawaii Explorer, 2022/02/27

We had a great time at this ranch doing 3 different tours; Jungle Tour, Plant Tour and a Movie Tour! During each of these tours we had great tour guides who taught us lots of cool things about Hawaiian culture and sites. We would definitely go back to Kualoa Ranch and do the other things we didn’t do this time. The Movie Tour showed us the sites for lots of different movies so now I want to go home and watch all of them again! Great fun!! And definitely something I would do again!

Great fun!

Kualoa Ranch Movie Tour was a great value and experience (Tour Guide Haydn)

Reviewed by: Riverside CA Family, 2021/12/24

The experience was more than worth the price paid for admission. If you’re loaded and wealthy with a family of five, then yeah spend on the ATV experience. But this 90 minute bus tour was well worth the money. Our tour guide, Haydn, was awesome! We’ve been on a number of guided tours in Hawaii and Haydn is energetic, funny and knowledgable. He even offers to take great family photos or individual pictures, too! I don’t know of any tour guides that will do that. I own an RV, so driving around and talking would be difficult, especially at this ranch. Haydn does a great job navigating turns and difficult terrain. He manages to do this while cracking jokes and recalling detailed information and trivia. This tour stops and allows passengers to get out and take great pictures. You still have access to look around the grounds including the ranch history exhibit, horses, and gift shop. This tour is highly recommended.

Beautiful Ranch

Reviewed by: Bobby, 2021/12/10

Hi!

The tour was beautiful! I’d say my favorite part was the Farm tour. They showed us some beautiful nature moments and we got to taste some of the food. The Jungle keep expedition would’ve been my favorite part however the portion where they visit the bunker was quite unsophisticated and it really cheapened the experience for me. It was extremely dated and looks like it hasn’t been changed in a decade or two. There we’re some portions we’re it looked like an artists graffitied some movie art to make a section exciting but in my opinion it looked unprofessional and naive.

The charm of the ranch is the beautiful moments in nature and the warm stuff. All the staff were so sweet and caring! However, if your going for the movie portions, it’s not really as sophisticated as you’d hope. For example the skull mountain bones have been taken apart by visitors of past and don’t look as good as they did in the films.

Overall I really enjoyed myself and would recommend all to visit! I just wish there movie portions we’re more sophisticated and were updated with technology of this decade.
