Had a fantastic time on this tour! Our guides were great - fun and knowledgeable - and made the whole experience worth it! The whole ranch area is absolutely stunning - so picturesque it's hard to know where to look nex whilst trying to concentrate on the path ahead! This quickly became one of our favourite activities and now want an electric bike!!

I had been thinking about going to Kualoa Ranch for a while, and finally went with my mother.
It seems that if you sign up on-site, there are one-hour and two-hour courses available, but this tour was the two-hour course. The two hours flew by in no time. If you're going to do it, I definitely recommend the two-hour course.
You can explore every corner of the vast Kualoa Ranch and fully enjoy Hawaii's magnificent nature. We even got to drive among a herd of cows, which was quite fun.
They provided confirmations before boarding in Japanese, and the guide was friendly, taking videos and photos when we handed over our smartphones. My elderly mother was also thrilled, and it was a fulfilling day! I highly recommend it.
クアロアランチ、いつか行こうと思いつつなんとなく「また今度」になっていましたが、母と参加してきました。
現地申込み?だと1時間コースと2時間コースがあるようですが、こちらのツアーは2時間コース。
あっという間の2時間でした。
せっかくやるなら絶対2時間コースがよいです。
広大なクアロアランチの隅から隅を巡り、ハワイの壮大な自然を満喫できます。
牛の群れの間を走行したりもできました(これがなかなか楽しかった)。
乗車前の確認などは日本語でしてくれ、ガイドさんもフレンドリーでスマホを渡すと動画などの撮影もして下さいます。
高齢の母も大興奮の充実した1日でした!
とてもオススメです。

This is a tour that takes you along hilly mountain paths on a leisurely horseback ride. The scenery is beautiful, and the weather is pleasant, making it a very enjoyable experience. There are explanations about movie filming locations and ruins at various points, but since you pass by while still on the horse, I think a different tour would be better for those who want to take photos at the filming locations. The guide speaks only English. There is a video in Japanese regarding precautions before horseback riding. On the day I participated, there were a total of six people, and one guide accompanied us. It was unfortunate that if you got too far from the guide, you could hardly hear anything.
All the horses are well-trained and follow the horse in front, so even those without riding experience can enjoy it. However, the instructions from the guide are given in English using the horses' names, such as "The person on [horse name], please go faster," which might be a bit daunting for those who don't speak any English.
One disappointing point was that one of my companions had stirrups that were too short, and even though it was known before departure, we set off without changing horses or equipment, which led to foot pain later on. Generally, they adjust for people of average build to ensure comfort, but it was unfortunate that a tall person ended up with a horse that had short stirrups.
ゆったりとした並足のみの乗馬で起伏のある山道を行くツアーです。とても景色がよく、気候も良くてとても気持ちが良いです。ところどころ映画ロケ地の解説や遺跡(?)の解説がありますが、常に馬に乗ったまま通り過ぎる形なのでロケ地で写真を撮りたい人には違うツアーの方が良いと思います。英語のみのガイドです。乗馬前の注意事項に関する動画は日本語のものもあります。参加した回は全部で6人で、1人のガイドが付いていました。ガイドから離れてしまうとほとんど聞こえないのが残念。
お馬さんたちはみんなしっかりとトレーニングされていて前の子について歩くので乗馬経験がなくても楽しめます。ただ、ガイドからの指示は英語で馬の名前を使って「○○に乗っている人もっと早く」という感じで出されるので英語が全くできない人には少し不安かもしれません。
1点残念だったのが同行者の鐙が短すぎて、出発前からそれがわかっていたのに馬を変えたり装具を変えたりすることなく出発したため後々足が痛くなってしまったことです。一般的な体形の人であれば一番楽になるように都度調整してくれますが、たまたま身長の高い人が短い鐙をつけた馬に当たってしまったのが残念でした。

Secret Island is a very special place for our family. my daughter got a wedding in Moli'i garden and secret island during Covid.
we have a wonderful memory of her wedding with our closed family and friends only under 20 people.
it was a magical experience,so we had been always talking how we can go back to the island.
and we finally planned a family trip to Hawaii this spring, and we have been searched many different websites which offers a tour to the secret island.
this website did not have many reviews compared to other major travel websites, but their prices were the best so we decided to give it a shot.
and the decision was the best!
the reservation process, confirmation, instructions and everything was GREAT!
it was a little bit of cold and rainy day so we were the only group going to the island that day. we basically rented the entire island to ourselves.
we highly recommend this webstie for Kualoa ranch tour!

We enjoyed our half-day experience. As tourists, the Secret Island experience was nice because it satisfied my desire to do kayaking and paddle boarding. The beach was nice for young kids because they had supplies to build sand-castles, however that is the most of what my young children really enjoyed. In retrospect, most of the activities there would be best for older children and teenagers to really enjoy. For families with younger children, it may be best to buy some sand toys and head to a local beach.

Riding the horse was challenging at times, but it was fun. The instructor was kind, and there was nothing I didn't understand. The scenery was just beautiful, and the horses were adorable.
The sunlight was strong, and there were times when tall grass and branches could hit you, so I recommend wearing long sleeves. Also, if you can't use your card for the dedicated lockers, you'll need to use cash, so it's a good idea to have $5 on hand.
馬に乗るのは難しいところもあったけど、楽しかった。
インストラクターの人は親切だったし、わからないことはなかった。
景色がとにかく良くて、馬も可愛かった。
日差しも強く、背の高い草や枝が当たることもあるので、長袖の着用をおすすめします。
また、専用のロッカーは手持ちのカードが使えない場合、紙幣を入れることになるので5ドルは手持ちがあった方が安心です

While there may be various opinions, I highly recommend visiting Kualoa Ranch at least once. You’ll get used to driving the buggy in about five minutes. It’s amazing to enjoy such great nature just about an hour from downtown Honolulu.
The instructors speak entirely in English, and while I didn’t understand everything 100%, they provide detailed and enjoyable explanations about Hawaii’s history and legends.
There are warnings regarding dirt, but in reality, it wasn’t that bothersome. The smell of the helmet was a bit noticeable, but aside from that, given the opportunity to enjoy nature and interact with animals, some dirt and smell are somewhat unavoidable.
Overall, I think it was a very good experience.
色々と賛否もあると思いますが、クアロア牧場は一度は行くことをお勧めいたします。
バギーの運転も5分で慣れます。
ホノルル市内から1時間程度でここまで大自然を満喫できるのは最高です。
インストラクターの方はすべて英語で、私も100%理解はできておりませんが、
ハワイの歴史や言い伝えなどかなり詳しく丁寧に(楽しく)説明してくれます。
汚れに等に関しても注意勧告はありますが、実際はそれほど汚れは気になりませんでした。
若干ヘルメットの匂いが少し気になった程度です(笑)
ただ、大自然を満喫し、動物たちと触れ合う以上、汚れや匂いはある程度仕方のないことです。
トータルで考慮して、とても良い経験だったと思います。

I was a beginner at horseback riding with limited English. First, we watched a short Japanese video, and that was the end of the explanation. After that, I was guided by an English-speaking guide to ride the horse. The guide gave simple instructions in Japanese like "right," "left," "kick," and "pull," so I didn't have any particular trouble with the language. I ended up being at the front, and there were times when I felt anxious not knowing the way when the guide was at the back. However, the horse was smart and knew the way, so even when I gave incorrect instructions, it still took the right path. It was my first time riding, but the interactions with the horse were very enlightening, and it was a wonderful experience.
英語カタコトで初乗馬のものです。
まず短い日本語のビデオを見て説明は終わりです。あとは英語のガイドさんに誘導されるまま馬に乗せられます。ガイドさんは右・左・蹴って・引っ張って、などの簡単な日本語で指示をしてくれるので、言葉は特に困りませんでした。私は先頭になってしまい、ガイドさんが後列についているときは道が分からず不安な時はありましたが、馬が賢く道をわかっているので私が間違えた指示をだしても正しい道に入ってくれました。乗馬は初めてでしたが、馬とのやり取りはすごく気づかされることも多く、すばらしい体験でした。

They intentionally made the road bumpy. It depends on the driver's skill, but my husband drove roughly on purpose, making it feel like a roller coaster, and our 9-year-old was screaming the whole time. At one point, we sped right into a puddle, and we all ended up covered in mud, haha. Of course, the other buggies remained clean. With ups and downs, puddles, rivers, and magnificent scenery, it was an incredibly fun two hours! (I thought it would be two hours including the briefing, but we actually drove for a full two hours, haha.) The staff were all very friendly. You can enjoy it even if you know nothing about Jurassic Park. By the way, all the explanations along the way are in English.
I realized after the tour that I had dropped my phone during the trip. It's better to bring a bag that closes securely. When I informed them about the lost phone, they said they would call if it was found. A few days later, I received a call from a Japanese person saying it had been found. They seemed to be considerate since I am Japanese (even though they connected me with a completely different department). We had already moved to the Big Island, but that person coordinated with their boss and sent my phone to the Big Island. It arrived the next day, so I was able to receive it safely before returning home, and I am very grateful.
あえて道をボコボコにしてあるんですね。ドライバーの技量にもよりますが、主人はわざと荒く運転したのでまるでジェットコースターのようで9歳の子供がずっとキャーキャー言ってました。途中の水たまりでは思いっきりスピードを出して突っ込み、我が家は全員泥だらけになりました笑。もちろん他のバギーたちは綺麗なままです。アップダウンあり、水たまりあり、川あり、雄大な景色ありで、めちゃくちゃ楽しい2時間でした!(事前説明含めて2時間かと思ったら、ちゃんと2時間走ります。笑)スタッフもみんな親切です。ジュラシックパークを何も知らなくても楽しいです。ちなみに途中の解説は全て英語です。
ツアー道中で携帯を落としてしまったことに、ツアー後に気づきました。口がしっかり閉まるバッグを持って行った方が良いです。携帯を落としたことを伝えたところ、見つかったら電話すると言ってくれました。数日後に見つかったと日本人の方から電話がありました。私が日本人なので気遣ってくれたようです(全然異なる部署にも関わらず繋いで下さったようです)。私たちは既にハワイ島に移動していたのですが、その方は上司と掛け合って下さり、携帯をハワイ島まで送って下さいました。翌日着で届けて下さったため、帰国前に無事に受け取ることができ感謝しかありません。

The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, open, and incredibly fun. It was a wonderful horseback riding experience that you can't have in Japan!
● Check-in and Preparation ●
Since we were traveling by rental car, we opted for a self-arranged course without transportation, which turned out to be a mistake as we got lost and arrived just in time. We checked in 20 minutes before the start instead of the recommended 45 minutes, and it was quite hectic. However, despite being late, they kindly accepted us, which was a relief. I regret not choosing the plan with transportation.
The check-in location is past the shop (there's a sign in Japanese), and you can check in by simply showing your passport and voucher, with almost no need for English. I went to check in while my companion took care of parking, and there was just a simple question about whether they were wearing proper shoes (not sandals). By the way, my companion didn’t need to show their passport.
We were instructed to leave our bags in a nearby coin locker (for a fee). A waist pouch was okay, but they provided a small bag to attach to the saddle while riding, so I felt we didn’t really need it. We left our bags in the trunk of the rental car.
When we arrived at the stable (which is diagonally across from the check-in location), we watched a 5-minute horseback riding instructional video (in Japanese), borrowed helmets and bags, and then we were off to ride.
On the way out, we mounted the horses using stairs, and on the way back, there were precautions to avoid stepping on feet when dismounting from the elevated area. In the group I joined, there were probably just two groups: a family from Korea and us, along with one guide, so it was quite a small group.
● Attire ●
Long pants and shoes that cover the toes, along with a rented helmet, are the minimum requirements for participation, which I felt was quite casual. Given the rugged mountain paths, it felt adventurous. In Japan, I think you would probably need specialized riding boots or protective vests. This lightness felt very much like being abroad!
However, for those with back or knee issues, it might be tough. Since we passed through areas with tall grass, wearing longer socks to cover the ankles would help avoid any irritation from the grass.
Perhaps because it was spring, the weather was unstable, alternating between sunny and rainy. The strong sunlight combined with light rain made a long-sleeved hoodie just right for both sun and cold protection.
● Scenery ●
The views were stunning. We could see majestic mountains and beautiful seas, which was very satisfying. Even if you’re not particularly interested in movie filming locations, I think you would still enjoy it. As a fan of the Jurassic Park series, I was thrilled to see the locations from the films.
Personally, I love plants, so it was fun to see rare mountain flora. It was interesting to see cacti growing wild.
● Guide ●
Since I don’t understand English well, I could only catch the movie titles and a few words (like right, left, stop), but there were signs and guides at the filming locations, so I was able to enjoy it to some extent. However, since you don’t dismount from the horse until you return, if you want to take close-up photos or be in pictures with the movie sets, I think another tour might be better. By the way, we passed buses and buggies while riding, so you might encounter other tours even if you sign up separately.
Also, the guide was friendly and responded with a smile when I awkwardly spoke to her in broken English about how many days I had been in Hawaii and how beautiful the ocean was. Still, I wish there had been a Japanese brochure available.
● Photography ●
In the initial instructional video, it was stated that video recording is prohibited but photos are allowed. You can take photos with either a smartphone or a camera. During the ride, the guide took individual photos of us with her smartphone, and we received the data f
とにかく絶景で開放的でとても楽しく、日本ではできない乗馬体験で素晴らしかったです!
●チェックインと準備●
レンタカーでの行動だったため、送迎なしの現地集合解散コースにしましたが、これが失敗で迷ってしまいかなりギリギリについてしまいました。45分前のところ、20分前にチェックイン、10分前に集合とバタバタでした。
しかし、遅れてしまったものの幸いにも受け入れてくださり、ほっとしました。大人しく送迎ありのプランを申し込めばよかったなと反省しています。
チェックイン場所は売店を抜けた先にあり(日本語立て看板あり)、パスポートとバウチャーの提示のみでチェックインでき、英語はほぼ不要でした。同行者に駐車を任せ、私のみがチェックインに向かったため、同行者は靴を履いているか(サンダル等ではないか)という簡単な質問があった程度です。ちなみに同行者のパスポート提示は不要でした。
荷物は近くにあるコインロッカー(有料)に置くように指示されます。ウエストポーチはOKでしたが、馬に乗るとき鞍に取り付ける小物入れを貸してくれるのでいらなかったなと思います。私たちはレンタカーのトランクに荷物を置きました。
出発場所の馬小屋(チェックインの場所の斜め向かいくらい)に行くと、5分程度の乗馬の説明ビデオ(日本語)を見て、ヘルメットと小物入れの袋借りてさっそく乗馬です。
行きは柵の奥にいる馬に階段を使って跨がり、帰りも高台の上に降りるので足を踏まれないよう工夫されてるなぁと感じました。
私が参加した回は、おそらく韓国の家族の方と私たちの2グループで、そこにガイドスタッフさん1名でしたので、かなり少人数でした。
●服装●
長ズボンと爪先がカバーされている靴、そしてレンタルヘルメットが参加の条件ですが、本当に最低限の軽装だなぁと感じました。結構な山道にこの服装なので冒険感がすごいです。日本だと多分乗馬用安全靴とかプロテクトベストみたいなものを着なきゃダメな気がします。この身軽さが海外~!という感じでした。
でも腰や膝に持病がある方はしんどいかも。結構草丈がある場所も通るので長めの靴下でくるぶしもカバーした方が草まけの心配がないかと思います。
春だからなのかわかりませんが、晴れたり雨が降ったりと不安定な天気で、日差しが強い上に小雨にも降られたので、日焼け対策としても寒さ対策としても長袖パーカーでちょうどよかったなと思いました。
●風景●
素晴らしい絶景でした。雄大な山も美しい海も見られて大満足です。映画のロケ地にそれほど興味がなくても満足できるのではないでしょうか。ジュラシックパークシリーズが好きなので、映画のシーンの場所が見られて感動しました。
個人的には植物が好きなので珍しい山の植物が見られるのも楽しかったです。サボテンが野生で生えているのが面白かったです。
●ガイド●
英語がわからないので正直映画のタイトルと単語(右とか左とかストップとか)くらいしか聞き取れませんでしたが、映画のロケ地には看板や案内があるのでそれなりに楽しめました。
ただ、乗馬コースでは帰ってくるまで馬から降りることはないので、近くでじっくり写真を撮りたかったり、映画のセットと一緒に写りたかったりするなら他のツアーの方がいいと思われます。ちなみに乗馬中にバスやバギーとすれ違ったので別々のツアーに申し込んでも途中で出会うのかもしれません。
また、ガイドのお姉さんはフレンドリーな方で、ハワイに来て何日目だ海が綺麗だ等カタコトへっぽこ英語で話しかけても笑顔で答えてくださいました。
でもやっぱり日本語のパンフレットでもあればなぁとは思いました。
●写真撮影●
最初の説明ビデオで動画撮影は禁止で写真はOKと案内があります。写真ならスマホでもカメラでもいいようです。途中、ガイドスタッフさんが、乗馬の様子をご自身のスマホで一人一人撮影してくださり、終わったあとデータが無料でもらえます。ただ、iPhoneのAirDrop機能を利用してデータ送信してもらったのでAndroidだともらえないかも……。
印刷された写真は売店前に写真販売コーナーがありそこで自分の写真を勧められます。買わなかったので覚えてないですが多分$15~$20くらいだったような。この辺は日本のテーマパークと同じスタイルだなぁと感じました。
●馬たち●
よく訓練されていて道も覚えているようでさっさと進んでいきます。こんな軽装で馬に乗って本当に大丈夫かな?と思っていましたが、大人しいしかわいいしそんな不安は途中から忘れていました。
ちなみに馬は全員男の子だそうで、私が乗った馬はギリアン(と聞こえました)君でした。
機会があったらぜひまた乗りたいです。

The staff was friendly, but all the information was provided in English.
First, I had no idea where to wait for the shuttle bus pickup, both going and returning. I ended up sharing information with other Japanese guests and just felt anxious.
After arriving, the explanations for the various activities on the ranch were only in English. I couldn't understand anything, and I only had a vague idea of where to gather. I almost missed out on some activities.
Driving the buggy was fun, but the explanations about the filming locations or Hawaii? Every time we stopped, there was about a 10-minute talk, but I couldn't understand anything and just stood there confused. We didn't get to see much of the filming locations either, so I think those who want to visit the filming sites should skip this tour.
Additionally, the helmets and goggles provided were wet and muddy, which was very unpleasant. Even before doing anything, just putting them on made me covered in mud.
The seat belts and seats of the buggy were also dirty, and my clothes got soiled that I had to buy a change of clothes. I recommend wearing clothes and shoes that are dark and can be thrown away.
Also, while driving the buggy, you inhale a lot of sand. They give you something like a bandana to protect yourself, but it doesn't help at all. I recommend bringing a mask to wear. Your throat might start to hurt. I was still spitting out dirt from my mouth, nose, and ears for a while.
If you don't have a strong desire to ride the buggy, even if you can't speak English or get muddy, the price is high, and the access from Waikiki takes time (we got stuck in traffic both ways), so satisfaction will be difficult.
Since it was our honeymoon, I wish we had chosen a different activity.

Kualoa Ranch is clearly the best choice for outdoor adventures in Oahu. So much fun from start to finish! The farm, jungle, and movie locations tours were spectacular. Mahalo

I experienced a 2-hour horseback riding course. It was my first time riding, but the horses were very smart, so I was able to enjoy the experience without any particular anxiety. The staff primarily spoke English, but they were very accommodating, so I felt safe and had fun. They also took photos with my smartphone along the way, which made for great memories!
2時間の乗馬コースを体験しました。
初めての乗馬でしたが、馬たちがとても賢いので、特に不安もなく体験できました。
スタッフの方は基本的に英語ですが、しっかりと対応してくださるので、安心して楽しめます。
途中にスマホで写真も撮ってもらえるので思い出になります!

I had two hours, so I was able to fully enjoy it. It was thrilling and a lot of fun! I think anyone who usually drives will have no problem driving here. I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting a little dirty. While you won't get completely muddy, you will get dusty. Also, there are a few spots that are similar to Splash Mountain, and my eco bag got dirty.
2時間あったのでたっぷり満喫できました。スリルがあってとても楽しかったです!普段運転している方なら問題なく運転できると思います。
服はやはり多少汚れても気にならないものが良いと思います。泥だらけになるわけではありませんが、砂埃で汚れます。あと、スプラッシュマウンテンみたいになるところが何箇所かあり、エコバッグは汚れてました。

The movie tour was fantastic! It was beautiful and interesting. The tour guide was entertaining and engaging!
It was interesting to walk through the old WW II bunker and to hear the history of the area.
Thank you for a great experience!

Great guides! Loved their photo and video skills, it make for a fun afternoon in such a beautiful place. I’m not a big Jurassic park fan so I liked that they shared stories about the land, then history etc. I actually would have like to have learned more. Overall beautiful breath taking views, totally worth it! 2 hours just didn’t seem long enough

I experienced the buggy ride. There is a lot of dust on the off-road, but you can borrow goggles, a cloth mask, and a helmet, so it's not a problem. However, your clothes will get covered in dust, so it's a good idea to bring a change of clothes. Shoes are a must, but shorts are okay. Just be prepared to get muddy if it rains.
The route is dotted with beautiful nature and movie set locations, and you can see cows, horses, and chickens on the ranch. Above all, I enjoyed the beauty of the mountains that can only be found here. The guide's witty explanations made the trip even more enjoyable, so having some English skills will double your enjoyment.
I signed up for a tour that included round-trip transportation from the hotel, but there was some free time before and after, so I wish I had brought gear for water play and a swimsuit to enjoy the nearby beach. There is a beautiful shallow sea where you can do some snorkeling.
バギーを体験しました。オフロードで埃が舞いますが、ゴーグルと布マスク、ヘルメットを借りられるので、問題ありません。
ただし、服は埃だらけになるので着替えを持参すると良いです。
靴は必須ですが半ズボンでもOKです。
ただし雨の時は泥だらけになることを覚悟したほうがよさそうです。
ルートには大自然と映画ロケのセットが点在し、牧場の牛馬鶏を見ることが出来ますが、なんといってもここにしかない山々の美しさを楽しめました。
ガイドのウイットのある説明はさらに旅を楽しめてくれますので、英語力があると楽しみの倍増します。
今回はホテル往復をセットにしたツアーで申し込みましたが、前後の時間が空きますので、近くの海岸で水遊びできる道具や水着を持参すればよかったです。遠浅でちょっとしたシュノーケリングをできるきれいな海があります。

There were no Japanese staff, but I felt reassured because there was a Japanese video explaining the precautions. It was wonderful to take a leisurely two-hour tour around the vast area that served as a filming location for Jurassic Park, and horseback riding while looking at the ocean was the best.
日本人スタッフはいませんが、注意事項を説明する日本語ビデオがあったので安心でした。ジュラシックパークなどのロケ地になった広大な地を2時間掛けてゆっくりと周り、海を眺めながらの乗馬は最高でした。
