A Must Do!!
Reviewed by: Brian, 2010/02/28My wife and I took the 2 hr ATV tour and were amazed at the sites seen and knowledge and kindness of our guides. We were not expecting to go so far back into the island and from that we got to see some of the most amazing views only available through the tour. Markus, one of our guides, explained to us where all the film spots were and even picked a few local fruits for us to snack on. The route takes you through mild terain including crossing a few shallow streams and on several amazing outlooks on the ridges. We both wore shorts and gym shoes and fit the occasion perfect. Also, you only need to wear an open face helmet and sunglasses for protection so it makes the ride a lot more comfortable. Also, if you are military, they give a GREAT discount so give them a call to make reservations.

We had a Blast!!!
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2009/09/05We have been to Oahu a couple of times and wanted to do something different this time. We really enjoyed our ATV tour. The scenery was absolutely beautiful. The tour guide was friendly and informative. We recommend the 2 hour tour so you can go further back in the mountains. You don't have to have any ATV experience. We really recommend this tour.

HIGHLIGHT ACTIVITY OF OAHU
Reviewed by: Vicki, 2009/08/09My son his friend and I took the 2 hour ATV tour with Jacob as our guide. It COULDN NOT HAVE BEEN GREATER! The scenery was absolutely incredible and the ride was like being on a roller coaster ride that you have control of. Don't get me wrong it wasn't scary, it was exciting. No I'm in my 50's and I had just as much fun as my son who is 21 and our friend who is 17. This activity just can't be beat!

Great ATV Experience
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2009/07/20My family and I were all first time ATV riders and had a great experience with the Kualoa 1-hour ATV ride. We would definitely recommend it to others and hopefully we will be able to do it again...this time maybe the 2-hour ride!

Great Fun!
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2009/06/10My husband and I are first time visitors to Hawaii and wanted to see some of the beautiful sights but also wanted something laid back. This was the perfect thing to do. Coming from Waikiki Beach we ended up renting a convertible for the day and it was a beautiful drive up the coast. We got there a little early and found several treasures in the gift shop. There were riders with a varied range of experience in our group (including a first timer or two) and a great time was had by all. We opted for the 2 hour tour and definitely recommend it. The back side of the mountain was a little more challenging but still quite safe and great fun. The views were fabulous and there were several photo opportunities including some of the tv/movie locations, our guides even picked some guava from the trees which was a lovely treat. Make sure you heed their warning about wearing long pants as there is quite a bit of heat coming out of the ATV around your legs after a while and closed-toed shoes a

The BEST time I had in Hawaii
Reviewed by: Lisa T., 2009/04/29This was my absolute favorite activity that I did in Hawaii. My husband and I were there for two weeks and did a lot and the ATV tour was by FAR our favorite.
The views from valley were unlike anything I had ever seen. If your looking for something to take your breath away Kualoa Ranch is where it's at. While there it was raining, which made it more fun. On that side of the island it rains a bit so be prepared for it. I believe they have ponchos there if you want them. But my hubby and I didn't and we got soaked which was fine by us.
Driving around in the ATVs was exciting. It was my hubby's first time riding one and he had a little trouble. But the instructors were friendly and took him under their wing a bit. After the two hours of amazing views and seeing all the wildlife they took us too a little field and let just drive around which was a lot of fun.
I will do this again on my next trip for sure.

Fantastic Tour!
Reviewed by: Midwest Experience, 2009/03/21My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Coming from the Midwest, I have rode an ATV before but my boyfriend had done very little riding. You definitely do not need any prior experience in ATV riding to do this tour. We had a great guide whom was very informative and spectacular views with a little dirt and mud along the way. Don't wear your nicest clothes and definitely wear jeans and closed toed shoes as you will get dirty! This tour is definitely worth the money!

Mahalo Kualoa Ranch!
Reviewed by: Eric R, 2008/09/18We visited Kualoa Ranch 5 years ago and had so much fun that we decided to visit the ranch again during our honeymoon this year to do the ATV tour again. We are happy to say that the 2nd time was even better than the first! We opted for the 2-hour ATV tour which was VERY fun and well worth the money. You may get a little dirty but the ranch and sights are BEAUTIFUL and you'll get a kick out of the movie sets (like Jurassic Park). If you're staying in the "concrete jungles" of Honolulu/Wakiki, you definitely will enjoy the nature and serenity of Kualoa Ranch.

FUN! EXCITING! GREAT VIEWS!
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/09/04my boyfriend and I went on the 2-hour ATV tour. It was both our first time riding an ATV and we sure had A LOT OF FUN!!! We wanted to see the film sites and we got to see a lot more! Our tour guide (susan) was friendly, had great stories, and had a lot of energy. She showed us breathless views of oahu that just makes you want to stay a little bit longer. Thanks Kualoa Ranch!!

ATV ride at Kualoa Ranch
Reviewed by: Mac, 2008/05/10The ATV ride was great! The views and the landscape were killer! Keep in mind this is not an extreme sports type of activity. It was a scenic ride. You will have a guide that leads you through the entire tour. It was definitely worth the money and I will do it again next time I am in Hawaii.

2-hour ATV Tour was FANTASTIC!
Reviewed by: Cindy and Tom, 2008/01/22This was my very first ATV ride, and the first for my husband after many years. This was our fifth trip to Hawaii, and my first time to have ANYTHING to post to any "comment site"!
We chose the 2-hour ATV tour. The first 45 minutes of our pre-tour afternoon was with Tony, our driver, who described all of the sites between Waikiki and the Ranch as he drove us to the northern reaches of Oahu... great guide with a true love for the Hawaiian culture, language, geography and history. Tony was a wealth of general and detailed information... we learned a lot and took some great "from the van" pictures. (Tony was there at the end of our adventure as well!)
Israel (a local kid who took to the Ranch about 6 months ago) took us on the most awesome 2-hour ATV tour of the valley and hillsides... selecting guava fruit from the local trees, husking a wild coconut : ) for us to drink and taste, taking us along a path that included many wild pigs, and pointing out the locations for the f

2 Hour ATV Tour
Reviewed by: SDSH, 2007/11/28The 2 hour ATV tour is fabulous - the views are breathtaking, the guides are cool, and there is just enough time set aside for picture taking. The terrain is mildly challenging but all good fun none the less. This is not a free for all speed rally - it is a controlled ride that goes just fast enough to be fun yet still be safe. Even the cows are cool! We would highly recommend this tour if you are looking to have some off road fun and great views!

really fun, views are amazing
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2007/08/07I really loved this. Our guide was fantastic. He was so funny & entertaining. They break you up into small groups, which is very nice. There were a couple of times I would have liked to stop & admire views instead of zipping by. But when we did stop, it was at all the best places. Our guide even went out of his way to get wild fruit for us to sample along the way.
We went on the two hour ride, which was perfect. Any less would have been too short, any more...well, you know.
Bring a water bottle (they don't tell you that) and a hat, because when you take the helmet off to take pictures, you have hat-head! Also, an i-pod would have been nice to have. The guides all used one.

TOUGH TO TOP
Reviewed by: The Sacramento JFK Boys, 2007/07/21The 2-hour ATV ride was the most awesome adventure all week. The view of the island was absolutely gorgeous, riding through the 4 or 5 streams was great, the challenges of the rugged landscape was great and the equipment was safe and fun to work with. We probably could have used bandanas over our mouths - we didn't expect to eat so much dirt but we didn't know we were going to kick up so much dirt. The guides were so cool too. It was the best adventure for us 18 year olds and glad we did the two-hour ride instead of one!

Great Ride!
Reviewed by: Annalbs, 2007/06/21This was a great activity for myself and my husband. We have experience riding atv's so felt very comfortable with riding and looking around. If we hadn't we would have missed much of the views as there weren't but two stops where we could look and take pictures. The ride was not too advanced but challenging enough for beginners and experienced riders. Only complaint would be not being able to enjoy the scenery we were riding through more as it was spectacular.
