All Reviews for Kualoa Ranch, Oahu

The views were spectacular!! Matt and Pablo, our tour guides, were so much fun!! This is by far one of the best tours my family has ever taken in Oahu! Will definitely come back!!!

It was worth it. The place was amazing with beautiful green mountains or they called them dead volcanoes. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and friendly. My family enjoyed it.

Enjoyed the educational information about the place. Highly recommended!

The tour included a variety of activities such as farm visits, jungle exploration, and movie location tours. The farm visits had very beautiful scenery. The jungle exploration was thrilling with the ups and downs of the vehicle. I think watching the movies beforehand would make the movie location tour even more moving. The lunch was also delicious. However, the disappointing point was that there was no Japanese guide at all.

農園巡り、ジャングル探検、映画ロケ地巡りツアーと盛りだくさんの内容でした。農園巡りは景色がとても美しかったです。ジャングル探検は、車の上下動が迫力ありました。映画ロケ地巡りツアーは、映画を観ておくと、より感動すると思います。ランチも美味しく頂きました。ただ残念な点は、日本語のガイドが全くなかったことです。

It was my first time riding, but the horse was smart, so there were no difficult maneuvers required, and I didn't have any problems. I don't speak much English, but the instructor kept checking in to see if I was okay. They explained about the filming locations and history, so I think it would have been even more enjoyable if I understood English better. I brought a body bag, but I could have used it like a waist pouch while riding. I was able to put my smartphone and water in the provided bag.

With the shuttle service, there was about two hours of free time before and after, but I didn't feel bored as I was having lunch and looking at souvenirs. I was moved by the magnificent nature and the sea. I'm really glad my first riding experience was at Kualoa Ranch! I highly recommend this activity.

乗馬は初めてでしたが、馬が賢いので難しい操作も不要で特に問題はなかったです。英語があまり話せませんが、インストラクターの方も何度も大丈夫ですか？と気にかけてくれました。ロケ地や歴史について説明してくれていたので英語がわかるともっと楽しかったと思います。ボディバックを持っていきましたがウエストポーチのようにすれば騎乗可でした。スマホや水は貸し出しのバックに入れることができます。
送迎付きだと前後2時間弱空き時間がありましたが、ランチをしたりお土産をみたりしていたので、持て余すことはなかったです。
壮大な自然と海を見ることができ感動しました。初めての乗馬がクアロアランチで本当に良かった！おすすめのアクティビティです。

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!

La prise en charge, l’accueil, le circuit tout était très bien. Le chauffeur nous donnait des renseignements intéressants. Nous avons passé un excellent moment. Seule petit bémol le bus n’était pas très confortable et j’ai quelques petites douleurs au dos. J’ai aussi acheté la photo bien que j’ai trouvé le prix exorbitant. En tout état de cause je conseille cette activité.

The basic English support was available, but there was also a Japanese explanation video for horseback riding, which I watched, so even though it was my first time riding, I quickly understood how to ride.
You wear a helmet while riding. You can leave your luggage in a locker and bring valuables and drinks with you (they lend you a pouch).
I was very satisfied with the experience as I could enjoy the scenery of both mountains and the sea in the great outdoors. The horses were also very well-behaved. It was a bit disappointing that the instructor's explanations about the location were often too far away to hear, but they took several photos for me and sent them to my smartphone. For lunch, I had fish and chips at the café inside Kualoa. It was delicious. I had some concerns after reading reviews that mentioned having too much free time, but I ended up not having enough time as I was busy looking at souvenirs.

基本英語対応ですが、乗馬の際の説明ビデオは日本語もあり、そちらの映像を見せていただいたので初めての乗馬でしたが乗り方はすぐに理解できました。
乗馬の際はヘルメットを被ります。荷物はロッカーに預けて、貴重品と飲み物を持参できます。(ポシェット貸してくれます)
大自然の中で山と海両方の景色が楽しめて大満足です。お馬さんたちもお利口さんでした。インストラクターの場所等の説明が遠くて聞こえないことが多々あったのがちょっと残念でしたが、、、何枚か写真も撮っていただきスマホに送っていただけました。ランチはクアロアの中のカフェでfish and chipsを食べました。美味しかったです。口コミに自由時間は時間を持て余すと書かれていたのを見ていたので不安でしたが、お土産を見たり時間が足りないくらいでした。

I made a reservation about a week before traveling to the United States, but it seems to be a popular activity, and the desired morning time was fully booked, so I opted for an available afternoon slot. The sand was quite intense, and my whole family ended up covered in sand from head to toe, but we had a great time. Next time, I would like to try horseback riding.

渡米1週間前くらいに予約しましたが、人気のあるアクティビティらしく、午前中の希望する時間が空いてなく、午後の空いてる時間にしました。砂煙がすごいため、家族全員、顔から洋服全体が砂まみれになってしまいましたが、とても楽しめました。今度は乗馬してみたいです。

I was able to feel close to Hawaii while running through the great outdoors. Since there are steep slopes and narrow areas along the way, being able to handle a bicycle to some extent is a requirement.

大自然の中を駆け巡り、ハワイを身近に感じる事ができました。途中、急な勾配や細い場所もあるため、ある程度自転車の操作が可能な事が条件となります。

It was awesome. The way the lines went through the park and the view was outstanding. The instructors and the other members of our group made the adventure even more special. Would recommend this 1000%.

Amazing place incredible views.
Organized, punctual, beautiful

It was myself and my 17 and 16 year old sons. The tour guides on the trail at the ranch were really nice and informative. So cool to ride through the ranch, up the mountain and overlook the water. Beauty every where you looked. Also, the scenes were movies were filmed was fun to see.
You do get dirty - it was very dry when we went so lots of dust. If it’s wet I image you’re covered in mud. They give you goggles and buffs to cover your nose and mouth. You need them! Another reviewer suggested to bring wipes to wash your face afterwards- solid advice. We did that to get some of the dirt off our faces. Plenty more came off in the shower. Haha
The bus to/ from was comfortable and clean. Only not so great thing I can say is there was a very long wait time from when we arrived at the ranch until our scheduled tour started. Had I known that I maybe would have rented a car and drove up on our own. Price would have been Equivalent, and plenty of other places to stop in along the way. All in all it was a great adventure and I definitely recommend it!

This was so much fun!!! You definitely get super dirty but it is so worth it! You get to see so much of the ranch and the different valleys! We had Jessica as one of our tour guides and she was awesome! She did a lot of fun things with the group to make the experience more fun! If you love Jurassic World, you will love being able to see some cool things from the movie. Definitely a fantastic experience!

I had a good time with my family. The people running it were friendly. The park is beautiful.

So fun!! Loved all the workers who gave us history on Hawaii, from ferry driver to island workers who took us on canoe and glass bottom boat. Loved the sandbar canoe the best!! Definitely recommend visiting the beach

It's a two-hour ride through the fields and mountains of Kualoa.

For safety, you will wear a helmet, goggles, and a take-home Kualoa-patterned cloth mask. This is because you'll be kicking up sand and dust for two hours. Our family of four shared one vehicle. The driver must have a valid driver's license. If there is no licensed driver, a Kualoa instructor will drive for you.

There are breaks at key points where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery, take photos, and explore movie set locations—it's a packed two hours. After the activity, when you look in the mirror, you'll be covered in dust, and you'll end up laughing as you look at each other. That's the vibe.

Since it's hot, please bring plenty of water.

I highly recommend it.

クアロアの野山を掛けぬける２時間です。

安全のためヘルメットとゴーグル、そしてお持ち帰り可能なクアロア柄の布制マスクを着用します。
２時間砂誇りを巻き上げて走り抜けるからです。
我が家は家族４人で一台乗車です。
運転手は免許所有者でないといけません。
免許所有者がいない場合はクアロアのインストラクターさんが運転してくれます。

要所要所で休憩が入り、きれいな景色を楽しんで撮影したり、映画ロケでのセットを楽しんだり　盛りだくさんの２時間です。
アクティビティー後に鏡を見ると　全身砂埃まみれ、お互い顔お見合わせて笑ってしまう。そんな感じです。

暑いので水分は持参してくださいね。

おすすめです。

Really nice activity for those that want to move their legs a bit. These bikes have a motor so for anyone that thinks is not as fit, you can definitely do it! Great vibe from the crew that works at kualoa ranch and they made the ride really fun! Also they are super available to take pictures for you and get in on the fun. Also transportation was on time and everything was organized.

I participated in a mountain bike tour for the first time. Since it was an electric assist bike, it was easy to go uphill. Even a fifth grader enjoyed it. We chose an easy course, and there were eight participants in the tour, with one guide explaining everything in English. The child didn't understand any English, but it was still fun just to explore that miraculous place. We didn't sweat excessively and could feel the refreshing breeze all over our bodies. At the filming location of Jurassic Park, they took photos and videos of each group pretending to be the cast. Everyone got into character, and we shared laughs over each other's performances, spending a wonderful time together.

初めてマウンテンバイクツアーに参加しました。
電動アシスト自転車なので、坂道も楽です。小学校5年生の子も楽しんでいました。
私たちは簡単なコースを選びました。ツアーは8人が参加し、1人のガイドさんが英語で説明してくれました。子供は英語が全く分かりませんが、それでもあの奇跡的な場所を巡るだけでも楽しいです。べったりと汗ばむこともなく、さわやかな風を全身で感じられます。ジュラシックパークの撮影地では出演者になりきる写真や動画を１組ずつ撮ってくれました。皆さん役者になりきり、それぞれの熱演を笑い合いステキな時間を過ごせました。

My first visit to Kualoa Ranch.
I actually wanted to do the Raptor Tour, but the morning tour was fully booked, so I decided on the E Mountain Bike Tour.

I’m 152 cm tall, and I was worried about being able to ride a mountain bike, but I was able to borrow a kids' bike (there happened to be one available). However, since the wheels were small, it was quite challenging to keep up.

As for the content, we were able to visit several movie filming locations, and it felt really nice to experience the wind while biking.

There were 8 people in our team, and the staff were cheerful. They explained various things, so I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had understood what they were saying. I would like to try the Japanese Raptor Tour next time!

Since it was August, I was worried about insect bites, but there were hardly any bugs, and I didn’t get bitten. Also, since we rode for two hours, you can get sunburned! There were quite a few people participating in long sleeves. I recommend sun protection!
The tour was from 9:30 to 11:30. The bus departed at 1 PM, so after the tour, I looked around the souvenir shop and had a light lunch. I had read that the food wasn’t very good, but that wasn’t the case! If I could wish for something, it would have been nice to have a beer.

初のクアロアランチ。
本当はラプターツアーが良かったのですが、午前のツアーがいっぱいでEマウンテンバイクツアーにすることに。

私は身長152cmで、マウンテンバイクに乗れるか不安だったのですが
子供用のバイクを借りれました。（たまたま1つ空きがありました。）
ただ、車輪が小さいので着いていくのが結構大変でした。＞＜

内容としては、映画のロケ地もいくつか回れたし、自転車ならではの風を感じることができてとても気持ちよかったです。

1チーム8人でスタッフの人も陽気でした。
色々と説明してくれていたので、何を言っているか分かったら、もう少し楽しめたかな・・と思います。
次回は、日本語のラプターツアーができたらまた行ってみたいです！


8月だったので虫刺されが心配でしたが虫はほとんどいなくて刺されることはありませんでした。
あと、2時間自転車で走るので、焼けます！
長袖で参加している人も結構いました。
紫外線対策をおすすめします！！
9:30~11:30がツアー参加。
13時にバスが出発するので、終わった後はお土産ショップ見たり軽くランチしました。
あまり美味しくない、、と書かれてましたがそんなことはなかったです！
欲を言えば、ビールくらい飲めるとよかったのになぁと思いました〜〜。

What an absolutely amazing day! We had so much fun. Special mention to the guides who shared stories of the land and taught us about the Aloha spirit.

My sister and I went to Kualoa Ranch for my birthday to do the E-Bike tour, and we are so glad that we did. It was so much fun riding E-Bikes. There was a slight delay in getting started due to the sizes of the bikes being a good fit for the riders. Justice and Christian went above and beyond to find the right bike for each rider. Once we got started on our tour, it was so much fun riding around the ranch. The ranch is so beautiful, and Justice is very knowledgeable with the history of the ranch and shared all of the "Fun Facts" with us during our stops making it interesting. The only negative thing that I could say is that I wish it was a longer ride, I didn't want to stop.
Next time I am in Oahu I will definitely be coming back :)

Due to the lack of Japanese speakers, all the information was provided in English, which I couldn't understand at all.
However, the scenery was absolutely stunning.
I could sense that all the guides were cheerful and probably made a lot of jokes.

日本人が少ない為、全て英語の案内で、英語のわからない私には、内容は全くわからず。
でも、目に入ってくる景色は最高でした。
ガイドさんも全員明るくて、冗談をいっぱい言っているんだろうな？って事は感じ取れました。

We were not able to stop at all the sites which was disappointing. I was looking forward to taking pictures of things on the brochures and so I was disappointed. The time in between arrival and your event needs to be planned better. We had to wait two hours before the UTV tour and then another two hours after were were able to board the bus to go home. It would have been great to do another tour of something instead of waiting.

It's great for mountain bike enthusiasts, but not suitable for movie lovers who want to visit filming locations; it was just about riding.

マウンティンバイク好きには良いが、映画好きで撮影スポット巡りをしたい方にはあわない、
走ってるだけでした。

Horses were essentially on autopilot. Just allowed you to enjoy the views!

A very great tour and guide , we really recommanded

The staff was outstanding and fun. The 10-minute boat ride was informative and not bad at all for those afraid of seasickness.

The pesto chicken wrap that came with the full day package was dry, it needed extra dressing. The included activities (kayak, paddle board, etc..) were good. Beach volleyball nets and balls were ok (bring your own ball if you have it), the sand had a lot of hard marble-sized cones from the surrounding trees, tough on the feet - good shade though.

The full course lasts about two hours, and even if you don't understand English, you can watch a Japanese video for explanations before riding. The main course is in the mountains, but the view of the sea from the top of the mountain was amazing. Since transportation was included, there were no issues getting there and back. While waiting for the horseback riding, you can check out souvenir shops or have lunch at available spots. This tour at Kualoa Ranch is more popular than others, so it's better to make a reservation early. I definitely recommend horseback riding over taking a car at first.

約2時間のフルコースで英語がわからなくても日本語のビデオを見ながら説明を受けてすぐ乗馬、山がメインのコースですが山の上から海が見えて最高でした。送迎付きだったので行き帰りにも困らず、乗馬までの待ち時間はお土産屋さんを見たり、お昼も食べれる場所があります。クアロア牧場の中でも他のツアーより人気のツアーなので早めの予約をされたほうがいいです。車より最初は絶対に乗馬がおすすめです。

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!
