Great Island Adventure with Great Tour Guides!
Reviewed by: Hawaii Explorer, 2022/02/27We 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 ride!
Reviewed by: Lela Taylor, 2022/02/26What fun! Took my granddaughter and my great-grandson on this tour and they loved it too. I thought the bumpy ride was so much fun and the views were great. My 6 year old great-grandson really enjoyed the Jurassic gate and the dinosaurs. Well worth the experience we had. I laughed during the whole drive through the jungle as it was so much fun! The tour guides were great!

Kualoa Ranch Movie Tour was a great value and experience (Tour Guide Haydn)
Reviewed by: Riverside CA Family, 2021/12/24The 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 Fun
Reviewed by: MaryB, 2021/10/30Our family visited the ranch October 2021. We did the movie tour and it did not disappoint! Our tour guide was friendly and full of knowledge. The ranch was absolutely beautiful and the gift shop had plenty of affordable souvenirs! We will definitely visit again to do different tours.

Jungle Jeep Tour
Reviewed by: dangopecha, 2021/08/01This review is based on service, quality, abd cleanliness:
Service: the staff were super nice and knowledgeable. They showed real interest in thwir jobs, always asked to help with taking pictures.
Quality: tour quality was top notch. We got to do a nice little hike, saw different movie sets, and had lots of time to take pictures. It was a bumpy ride but fun
Cleanliness: restrooms are very clean. They were the big portable ones that get parked. In California one of those would be the most disgusting thing, you would rather hold it in. But here it was so clean and everything was well kept.
Overall: highly recommend this tour. I would suggest getting the all around tour though if you have the time

Great Adventure! LOVED, Stephanie!
Reviewed by: Shani Freeman, 2021/08/01Stephanie was amazing! Awesome energy, full of facts, the ranch is absolutely stunning and amazing. The location is phenomenal and the scenery is like a postcard photo, at every angle. Please be advised, this is NOT like the ATV tour. I thought we'd get out at more stops, but we didn't. None the less, it was fun and worth the money!

Great opportunity for beautiful scenery and learning
Reviewed by: R Winkler, 2021/06/30This tour was fantastic. I had no idea Hawaii was used as the backdrop for so many movies and TV shows. Kimo was our tour guide and he was fantastic; very funny and informative. The scenery was fantastic: beautiful mountains and beautiful ocean views all in one place. My 15-year-old sons thought it was an amazing day. Couple of things for future visitors to know: 1) cell service is intermittent. Your phone searches when the signal is dropped and this eats up battery life. Bring a power pack with you just in case or a charger (this is especially important for item 2. 2) if you use Lyft or Uber to get out to the Ranch from Waikiki, try to arrange for pick up for the return ahead of time. Uber is nearly twice as expensive as Lyft. There is one Lyft driver, Jane, that picked us up. She actually lives in the area. Otherwise, you will be waiting for a while. So, save some phone battery for the driver search/wait.

It was an amazing day, on a great tour, wonderful site! Somewhat relieved our stress and anxieties during this pandemic.
Reviewed by: Ms.Ems, 2020/10/21My kids have been anticipating getting out after a couple of lockdowns in Hawaii due to COVID-19. Saturday morning, while their Dad was off for work, we decided to visit Kualoa Ranch. After reading more of their implementation of COVID-19 safety protocol, we felt safe and confident to take one of their tours, so we decided to book their Movie Sites Tour. I also love the fact that HawaiiActivities.com never fails to provide most up-to-date information which is how we found this to be available on that same day.
Upon entering the premises at Kualoa Ranch, numerous signs were displayed to remind guests and staff about wearing their masks, washing hands/ hand sanitizing, and practice social distancing. At the entrance, they checked our temperature and collected our information (first & last name for each of my party members, an email address, and a phone number for contact tracing. Staff & employees, including our tour guide, were wearing face masks. They also installed Plexiglas in every counter (information desks, check-in, ticket desks).
When we got through the gift shop, and the restaurant, hand sanitizers & disinfecting spray/ wipes were also readily available in many areas. We felt safe.
With everything that has been happening around us, it was a wonderful feeling to be out and explore again. We enjoyed our visit, and the Movie Sites Tour was fun! My son (8-year-old) really loved it and have been asking to go back and do horseback riding. My teenagers said they learned a lot! The tour guide was funny and informative, made us laugh throughout the tour! He has great sense of humor; he even brought a dinosaur toy with him for our photo taking at Jurassic Park and I loved how the photo came out!
It was a great day! We were there as a family 10 years ago and we will visit again in the future.

Very fun experience
Reviewed by: rowie, 2020/03/12I did't think much of it at first because the tour seemed very short, but it was the funnest I ever had, even with a baby. The ride through the jungle was bumpy and the roads were windy like a roller coaster ride. The views were breathtaking, and although it rained a little on the top, it added for extra ambiance & adventure. The guide gave us rain ponchos to help us keep us dry. The guides were very informative & fun. They sure knew what they were doing.

Fun time at the ranch!
Reviewed by: Michael, 2020/02/11Kualoa Ranch is beautiful and probably my favorite place on Oahu. There is so much to do there! This is a bus tour that offers an awesome experience driving through the heart of the ranch and listening to the guides commentary about the different movies that were filmed there. The bus makes multiple stops along the way so you can get out, walk around, and take pictures as you please. Overall good tour. The guide was very knowledgable and made it fun. Looking for something to do on Oahu, check out Kualoa!

Love it!
Reviewed by: mcavalheiro, 2019/02/25I went to one of the many Adventures at Kualoa Ranch with my grandson. I took him to the Hollywood Movie Site Tour and we love it! My grandson is 5 years old and he loves dinosaurs and was so excited to see the Jurassic Park movie site, and believe it or not he was so excited to see the sign that appears on the movie. Also, all that bones and of course the dinosaurs. He was so happy!!!
For me was much more then I expected, everything was so beautiful and the lady who was guiding us, I think her name is Fono, wow ... she was awesome!
Everything was so beautiful and we enjoyed it a lot! I highly recommend it!

Breathtakingly Beautiful
Reviewed by: Lonna Gawryleski, 2016/09/25My husband and I enjoyed the time we spent at the Open Palm Plantation. Upon our arrival we were taken back as to just how beautiful this place was. Lush greenery, a display of beautiful Hawaaian flowers, a gorgeous mountain view and a 2 1/2 acre ranch with horses that made this the picture perfect.
Kitty is a gracious host and was very knowledgeable to the area and shared some of her favorite restaurants in her book of goodies. Our favorites restaurants were: Over Easy and Hailewa Joes!
The distance from her place to Waikiki was a bit of a drive but the scenery in all directions was well worth the trip! If you want a great adventure whether it be just then two of you or a family getaway, you won't be disappointed!
