ATV tour was great fun with spectacular views. In previous years we have done the horseback riding tour and the Pinzgauer 4wd tours which were also very good.

My wife & I love to do ATV tours every place we go on vacation, so needless to say, Hawaii was a must. The Kualoa Ranch is an incredibly beautiful location where many movies (although mostly subpar) have been filmed, and our guide was very knowledgeable & friendly, so no complaints there.
However, compared to other similar tours we've done, this one was much slower. At the beginning, they warn that it's a 12mph tour, and that's probably an accurate average. The ATVs aren't very powerful, so you'll be lucky if you even reach 20mph going down hill.
It started pouring on our tour, and we were ready with rain jackets, but if not, the instructor will provide clear plastic ponchos. This may be miserable to some, but it actually made it more fun and genuine for us, as we got to ride through puddles & mud in the pouring jungle.
In conclusion, I understand the goal is to make this a safe experience, and that everyone varies in terms of ATV skills, but maybe there should be should be a couple of level options (maybe 1-hour tours = easy, 2-hour tours = moderate?). I would consider my wife & I as average drivers, so by no means am I asking for a daredevil & speedy experience, but a little more pace would have gone a long way. Otherwise, this tour is a no-brainer experience, as it's one of the most beautiful places we've been.

This activity was very fun and interesting. We were able to see the beauty of the inner island of oahu. The guide was very interactive and informative about the history and events that occurred at Kualoa Ranch.

We took the 2 hour tour and it was AWESOME! I have to admit I was nervous about flipping and crashing considering I do not know how to drive. It was a lot easier than I thought to maneuver the ATV and became comfortable enough to enjoy the beautiful valley! The guide was friendly and easy-going, and made sure to follow the speed of the group. I am glad he was patient with me. We enjoyed the view of both valley and ocean and learned that there are some epic stories to be told about this place. You will definitely get a Native Hawaiian history lesson on this tour. I highly recommend the ATV tour, especially the 2 hour one. We got to feed and pet the pretty horses afterward, and wanted to go on the horseback ride too!

Great experience. The people who work there was amazing friendly and care about your safety. They said that we don't go fast, to me that was fast and fun. If that was fast imagine real atv is more fast. The scenery was amazing beautiful. I think out of all the things to do koala ranch this is the best activity.

Best activity we could have ever imagined! Originally we did this because it was an activity my nephew and his wife had not done yet. They are stationed in Oahu and they do the same activities with all family that visits. Well, this was new for all and just the most fun. It rained during the trip and at first we thought that would ruin it, but it actually made it even more fun. My advice...spend the money and splurge on the two hour tour and pray for rain. Invest in a rain jacket though (we bought ours from them because we weren't prepared) and it will be the most breathtaking fun adventure ever!

私の他に日本人の20代の夫婦とその親戚らしき30代男性と20代のアメリカ人のカップルが同じ組にいました。男性4名女性2名の計6名が2時間コースで参加しました。
バギーはパワーステアリングでない為、ハンドル操作には「力」が必要です。それがバギー操作を面白くしている。背面には、切立つた崖(山)があり、正面は海である。それらに挟まれたほぼ平坦な草原(RUNCH)である。大自然の中を「自分で運転する」バギーで走るのは正に自然に抱かれている感情である。ここで「ジェラシクパークや他の映画」が撮影されたとの説明があるが、私には興味がない、それより多くの時間をバギー運転をさせて欲しい。雄大な山と海がこのアクテブィテーの魅力だろう。飲料水(ボトル)の提供をする等、少し細やかな配慮が必要です。冷たい水を飲みながら景色を見ながらの休息・・・・
ここれは、異質の「体験」かも知れない・・・・・

This tour was the highlight of the trip! Marshall, our guide, was so informative and he kept making sure I was doing ok. Our ages ranged from 17 to 67 and yes, I'm the 67 yr. old. He showed so much interest in making this such a fun experience as well as a learning experience. Thanks to the Kualoa Ranch for having someone like him to make sure us novice ATV riders had the best time ever. I would do this again in a heartbeat!

年齢的に厳しいかなとも思ったのですが、不安だったのは最初だけで、2時間たっぷり楽しめました。ガイドさんは英語なので、ところどころで映画撮影の話をされた時には、わからないことも多かったです。バギー自体は、肩と背中の筋肉と、アクセルである右の親指を結構使います。バギーでしか味わえないようなコースを最後に回ったり、そんなにスピードを出しているわけではないけれど適度なスリルもあっていい思い出になりました。ゴーグルを貸してくれますが、顔や手は土ぼこりで真っ黒になります。荷物はリュックなと手のあくものがおすすめ。

The instruction was quick and they send you off on your own on a very quick test course. Ive never rode ATVs before and was very nervous but after a while I got used to it. We rode in a line there were 6 of us total including in the guide. I was starting to get tired (it was 85 degrees out) and hands were feeling sore I kept wondering when we were going to stop for a break. We eventually did and the views were breathtaking. The guide let us take some pictures. I was expecting the guide to stop at certain locations and tell us which movies were filmed where, but he barely talked. He just said "Yeah 50 first dates was filmed on the other side of this mountain, so was Jurassic Park.." I already knew that before this "tour" so I didn't learn anything new :( Overall the ride was fun I just expected more.
Tip: They offer you shower caps before you put on the helmet and please do get it!! The helmets smell so bad.

My 17-year-old grandson and his girlfriend rode the ATV's and very much enjoyed it. I felt the equipment could have been in better maintained condition as well as the helmet selection was a bit limited. I would also suggest that the ranch consider offering the side-by-side UTV's as an alternative as they drive more like a car for those who might not be comfortable on an ATV and can carry a second passenger.

We got to see so much of the movie sets and the place was so beautiful and memorizing I never wanted to leave. You definitely need the 2 hour tour, any shorter you will regret for sure.

I have only reviewed one thing in my life, Space Jam the movie in 1997. I hated it.
But now I have to break my vow to never review again by reviewing this ATV tour.
Whilst Space Jam the movie had some redeemable qualities; the ATV tour did not.
Once we arrived at the ranch (aka mud farm) we observed gangs of roving cats strutting around, intimidating us into purchasing horrible scented soaps from the ugly women at the gift shop.
The actual ride itself was comparable to the holocaust and I refuse to remember the details as I'm not ready to accept that it actually happened. The dude took us to where the hit comedy "you, me and Dupree" was filmed, I think it was the part where they stood in a vacant field and nothing happened. The only thing the dude in charge watched more than the road ahead, was his watch. I think he even said he hated one of us under his breath. His only rules were that no one was allowed to have fun and that we we had to go back to his shack on the ranch to watch Skrek 2. We politely declined his offer.
The only good thing was the view; just like when Michael Jordan scored in the final seconds of Space Jam, thus saving the earth from the invading basketball aliens (?).
After the trip I drove home with the Space Jam theme song playing through the radio.
May god have mercy on us all.

A great tour through the beautiful valley to numerous movie & TV sites, you even get to go into a real WWII bunker! My first time on an ATV was easy enough and probably one of the most gorgeous places to learn.
Took this tour with a couple of friends and we had a blast! Riding up and down hills and through mud puddles all surrounded by the amazing scenery is definitely something every visitor to Oahu should do. Our guide was great & we all had a blast! Defintely gets dusty & muddy so I would recommend long pants and possibly a scarf or something to cover your face, mine was absolutely covered by the end of the 2 hours.
