All Reviews for Kualoa Ranch Jurassic Valley Tours

Riding horses in the breathtaking nature was truly enjoyable. If you want to fully appreciate the great outdoors, I believe horseback riding is better than taking a buggy. It's completely fine even for beginners. Basically, all the horses are calm and well-behaved. Occasionally, there were some that didn't have a muzzle and would nibble on the grass along the way...

However, the saddles on all the horses tended to shift. The initial setup wasn't very good, which put a lot of strain on my knees, and after getting off the horse, it was tough to walk for a while. But since I love horses, I was able to ride a lot and had a great time.

At Kualoa Ranch, there are staff members at the main reception and guides who can speak Japanese, which is very kind and reassuring.

圧巻の大自然のなかでの乗馬は本当に楽しかったです。大自然をゆっくり堪能するなら、バギーより乗馬だと思います。初めてでも全然問題ないです。基本的に馬はみんな大人しくてお利口さんばかり。たまに口輪をしていない子は、道草を食ってしまっていましたが…。
ただ、どの馬の鞍もずれてきてしまうんですよね…もともとのセッティングがあまり上手くなくて、膝にすごく負担がかかり下馬後、しばらく歩くのが辛かったですが、馬が好きなのでたっぷり乗れて楽しめました。
クアロアランチはメイン受付や案内のスタッフにも日本語が話せる方がいて、すごく親切で安心です。

Thought everything what amazing. Stopped at all the areas for pictures and Ivan our guide was tremendous. Could not have had a better experience!!!

At first, I was worried, but it was easy to understand because they taught me with gestures and hand signals. Driving the buggy was also simple, and the scenery was amazing.

最初は心配でしたが、身振り､手振りで教えてくれるのでわかりやすかったです。バギーの運転も簡単だったし、景色も最高でした。

I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon, and it seemed like such a fun experience that I made a reservation! The guide mostly spoke English, but I was able to watch an explanation video in Japanese before the horseback riding, so I understood most of it!

All the horses were smart, and even beginners could enjoy it safely. The scenery was amazing, and I really feel like I made a great choice in booking this. It became a wonderful memory!

新婚旅行でハワイへ行き、とても楽しそうな体験だなと思い予約しました！
ガイドさんはほとんど英語でしたが、乗馬前の説明動画は日本語での説明を見る事ができたので、大体の事は理解できました！

どのお馬さんもお利口で、初心者でも安全に楽しむ事ができました。景色も最高で、本当に予約してよかったなと思っています。
とても素敵な思い出になりました！

We had such a wonderful time. Our guides were excellent and very knowledgeable. The ONLY complaint we had was the fact that the ATV’s could be a little cleaner other than that, it was a great experience.

On the day of the event, there was a storm, but it seemed they were going to proceed even in heavy rain. Since the kappa costume only covers the upper body, the lower half will get soaked down to your underwear, and your shoes will be drenched. It's better to bring a change of clothes.

当日はストームが来ていましたが、土砂降りの雨でも決行するようでした。河童は上半身だけなので、下は下着までずぶ濡れ靴はぐちょぐちょ着替えを持っていったほうがいいです。

The hospitable guides and Japanese staff provided various support, allowing us to enjoy driving the Raptor, fully experiencing nature, and listening to lectures about Hawaiian traditional culture, myths, and nature. Driving the Raptor is super easy even for women, and it's so much fun!

ホスピタリティあふれるガイドさんや日本人スタッフさんたちが色々とサポートしてくれるので、楽しくラプターを運転して、大自然を満喫して、ハワイの伝承文化や神話や自然についてのレクチャーを聞いたりできました。ラプターの運転は女性でも超簡単で、楽しすぎます。

Listen to when people tell you to go for the ATV tour, what a perfect way to see Kualoa!

These horses are treated with love you can tell! They were very calm during our ride.

You can experience it if you can give simple instructions to the horse. It was a very valuable experience. However, in the sample photos of the experience, it looks like you could go deeper, but in reality, you only go around a large rock.

簡単な馬への指示ができれば体験可能です。
とっても貴重な経験でした。
ただ、体験見本の写真ではもっと奥深くまで行けそうな感じですが、実際は大きな岩を一周するだけでした。

I have visited Kualoa Ranch many times, and I usually only did horseback riding, but due to the weak yen, I made a reservation for this experience this time. I was surprised to find such a place within Kualoa Ranch. However, the lunch was not good, and wild birds came to the dining area, making it very difficult to eat slowly. I wonder if it was hygienic? As for the afternoon cruise, it was very refreshing, but it was different from what I had expected, and I felt scared due to the strong winds. The explanations were in English, so I couldn't understand the content at all.

クアロアランチには何度も来ていて、いつもは乗馬だけでしたが、円安の状況で今回の内容で予約をしました。クアロアランチ内にあんな場所かあったとは驚きでした。ただランチの内容は良くなかったし、食事の場所に野鳥が来てとてもゆっくり食べれませんでした。衛生的にも良くないかと？午後からのクルーズですが、思っていたクルーズとは違いとても新鮮でしたが、強風にあおられて恐怖を感じました。英語でのでの説明でしたので内容も全く分かりませんでした。

Great fun, atv easy to drive, scenery gorgeous , tour guides great, interacted with guests, took pictures for us, great personalities lots of photo opts. Highly recommend

I was nervous until I joined, but the video explanation in Japanese and having instructors at the front and back made me feel at ease. It was a bit funny that everyone was called by their horse's name during the ride. The horses were well-trained and followed the horse in front without breaking the line, so I didn't have to worry much about handling the reins. After about the first five minutes, my tension eased, and I was able to enjoy the magnificent scenery. It was an extraordinary experience, like stepping into a movie. Thank you for the wonderful program; I would love to participate again!

参加するまでは緊張していたのですが、日本語でのビデオ説明や、先頭と一番後方にインストラクターが付いてくれるので安心できました。乗馬中はお馬さんの名前で皆さん呼ばれていたのがちょっと面白かったです。お馬さんもよく調教されていて、決して列を乱すことなく前を歩くお馬さんの後に勝手に付いて行ってくれたので、心配していた綱捌きが必要な場面はあまりありませんでした。最初の５分程度で緊張感もほどけて、あとは雄大な景色を満喫。映画の中に入り込んだような非日常の体験を得られました。素敵なプログラムをありがとうございました、また参加したいです！

I was healed by the vast nature and the cuteness of the horses. The staff accompanying the horseback riding tour spoke the necessary Japanese, making the instructions easy to understand. After arriving, I had some time before check-in, so I brought breakfast and ate it. The driver was very talkative in the car early in the morning, which was a bit annoying.

広大な自然と、馬のかわいさに癒された。乗馬ツアーの同行スタッフは必要な日本語が話せるため、なんの指示か分かりやすい。到着後、チェックインまで時間があるので朝ごはんを持って行って食べた。ドライバーは早朝なのに車の中でずっとしゃべりっぱなしでうるさかった。

We had a great time taking a shuttle up to the ranch and going on the Hollywood Movie Sites 90-minute tour. Our shuttle driver/tour guide was awesome and we loved the T-Rex photo he took for us. We had an awesome lunch while we waited to return to Waikiki, including a fantastic Dole Whip shake.

We did the 2 hour UTV tour with a family of four. This was our favorite thing we did. Get a little bit of movie history, a lot of nature, and some light thrills. Ben was our guide and was amazing. He mad the experience so fun and memorable. We had some intermittent rain on our day and it was still amazing. I could not recommend this place more.

I regretted signing up when the yen was at its weakest, but I had an experience that was worth it! Riding the buggy through the greenery and jungle was fun and refreshing. We visited various spots, including filming locations for Jurassic Park and other movies, stopping at photo points along the way.

At the photo points, they shared stories about the myths and legends of Kualoa, but I didn't quite understand it well in English ^^; Afterward, I looked it up online and realized that’s what they were talking about. On the flight back, I watched two Jurassic Park movies ^^

一番円安の時に申し込んでしまい悔しかったけど、それに見合う価値の体験ができました！風を切りながら緑やジャングルの中を走るバギーは楽しく、気持ちよかったです。ジュラシックパークや他の映画の撮影場所とのことで、フォトポイントを挟みながらいろいろ回りました。
フォトポイントでは、クアロアの神話や伝説のお話をしてくださいますが、英語でよくわからなかった^^;
終わってからネットで調べて、そんなこと言ってたと合致しました。
帰りの飛行機でジュラシックパークを2本見ました^^

Beautiful 2 hour horseback ride in Kualoa Ranch.
It rained off and on but the scenery was spectacular.
Hope to come back and do it again someday.

I was recommended by a friend and participated for the first time this time. Driving the buggy was thrilling and exciting, but it was a lot of fun! The scenery while driving was amazing!

友人に勧められて、今回初めて参加しました。
バギーの運転はハラハラドキドキしましたが、とても楽しかったです！
運転しながら見る景色は最高でした！

The weather miraculously cleared up during the horseback riding experience! The horse was very smart and gentle, making it enjoyable even for a first-time rider. I definitely want to try it again on a sunny day. It's a recommended activity!

乗馬体験の間は奇跡的に晴れました！
お馬さんもとても賢く穏やかで乗馬初体験でも楽しめました。
是非晴れた日にまた体験したいです。おすすめのアクティビティです

I was worried about whether it would be okay to go horseback riding for two hours at the age of 70, but the guide's instruction was excellent and focused on safety. The two hours flew by. It's just a shame that I didn't get to see any dinosaurs. If I go to Oahu again, I will definitely experience horseback riding again.

初めての乗馬で2時間、７０歳で大丈夫かなと心配しましたが、ガイドの指導も安全を考えて大変すばらしかった。あっとゆうまの２時間でした。ただ恐竜に会えなかったのが残念でした。オアフ島にまた行ったら乗馬体験またします。

The course has changed since I experienced it a year ago, and we couldn't get close to the movie filming locations. The scenery was amazing, but I preferred the previous course. Although there was a shuttle service, the gap between the bus arrival/departure times and the experience was too long. It seems that for the 11:30 start time, the bus leaves just before that. I took a stroll on a nearby beach, but even then, I felt a bit at a loss for what to do.

一年前に体験した際とコースが変わっており、映画のロケ地の近くまでいけなかった。
景色は最高だったが、前回のコースの方が良かった。
送迎付きだったが、バスの到着出発時刻と体験の時刻の空き時間が長すぎた。
11:30開始の回だとちょうど一本前のバスが出た後だかららしい。
近くのビーチ散策をしたが、それでも少し持て余した。

Tour guide was the best so much fun can’t wait to go again

The Jurassic Valley Ranch ATV was a great experience and the staff was knowledgable and very informative. I would highly recommend this tour! Thank for a great time!

It was refreshing to race through while enjoying the beautiful scenery in a buggy. There were also times when a herd of wild cattle crossed our path.

バギーで素敵な景色を見ながら走り抜けるのが爽快でした。
野生の牛の群れが横切ったりするこもありました。

The experience of riding while exploring the natural mountains and sea was truly amazing! The scenery changes in various ways, which was moving! I was completely satisfied with the full two hours! Although I did get a bit of muscle soreness, haha.

乗馬しながら自然の山や海を回れる体験は本当に最高でした！
景色も色々変わるので感動です！
2時間たっぷりで満足です！
ただ少し筋肉痛になります笑

My first experience at Kualoa Ranch!
My companions wanted to do activities like buggies! They love Jurassic Park! I personally love Jumanji! I love nature! So, we started our buggy experience in the heavy rain☆
After the explanation in English, there was also a proper explanation in Japanese◎
After the buggy experience, we were able to enjoy our souvenirs and lunch at a leisurely pace♪
Although the weather was unfortunate, it meant there was no dust flying around, and we got to see the fantastic scenery of sun and rain, along with a rainbow, so it was great☆

クアロア・ランチ初体験！
同行者たちがバギーなどアクティビティがやりたい！ジュラシックパークが好き！私自身はジュマンジが好き！大自然が好き！って事で大雨のバギー体験スタートです☆
英語での説明の後、ちゃんと日本語での説明がありました◎
バギー体験後、お土産もランチもゆっくり楽しめました♪
あいにくのお天気でしたがその分埃が舞うこともなく太陽と雨の幻想的な景色や虹も見れたので良かったです☆

I participated in a 2-hour buggy ride. Wearing a helmet is mandatory. Goggles and masks are provided. It's up to you whether to use them, but since you'll get covered in dust, I chose to wear them. The scenery is magnificent. They take you to filming locations from Jurassic Park and Jumanji. I think you can enjoy it even if you don't know the movies. You'll return to Honolulu around 2:00 PM.

2時間バギーに参加しました。
ヘルメットの着用が必須です。ゴーグルとマスクも渡されます。使用するかは自由ですが砂埃まみれになるので私は使用しました。
景色は壮大です。ジュラシックパークやジュマンジのロケ地に連れて行ってくれます。映画を知らなくても十分楽しめると思います。ホノルル帰着は14:00くらいです。

There was a Japanese video explanation beforehand, so even if you're anxious about your English skills, you can participate with peace of mind. The horses were very gentle, and it was no problem at all even for those with no riding experience. The magnificent scenery surrounded by the sea and mountains was truly breathtaking, and I was able to fully appreciate Kualoa Ranch. After horseback riding, there was a bit of a wait for the shuttle bus back, but there were souvenir shops, restaurants, and a plaza, so I didn't have to worry about having too much free time. Additionally, the availability of paid lockers that you can access freely was convenient and helpful. The staff were all very kind, and I had a great experience.

事前に日本語のビデオ説明があり、英語が不安でも安心して参加できます。
馬はとても大人しく、乗馬経験がまったくなくても問題ありませんでした。
海と山に囲まれた雄大な景色は本当に圧巻で、クアロアランチを存分に感じられました。
乗馬後は、帰りの便のシャトルバスまで少し待ち時間がありましたが、お土産物屋さんや飲食店、広場があるので時間を持て余すことはありませんでした。
また、取り出し自由な有料のコインロッカーが用意されているのも便利で助かりました。
スタッフの方は皆さんとても親切で、良い経験ができました。

I had some experience with horseback riding, but due to physical limitations, I hadn't ridden for a while. Most riding clubs in Japan follow the British style, but trail riding is done in the American style, so there are differences in handling the reins and saddle. In a group, we only walked in a line and couldn't run, but on the other hand, it was more than enough to enjoy touching the horses and experiencing the grandeur of nature. The horses are calm and obedient, so even beginners can take photos with their smartphones using one hand. If anything happens, the accompanying guide quickly comes to assist and provide instruction, which is reassuring. The mountain paths have some ups and downs, but the horses are used to it. I thought we would be able to walk along the coast, but instead, we walked along a road that overlooked the coastline, which felt nice in its own way. If you're not used to it, your position on the saddle can shift, so it's important to pay attention to your balance on both sides to ride well. Finally, I thanked the horse that carried me and patted it in appreciation.

乗馬の経験はありましたが、身体のハンデでしばらく乗っていませんでした、日本の乗馬クラブはほとんどブリティシュスタイルですが外乗乗馬はアメリカンスタイルなの　で鞍手綱さばきに違いがありグループで隊列で歩くのみで走ることはできません、逆に馬に触れ自然の雄大さを満喫して楽しむには十分以上です、馬も大人しく従順なので初乗馬でも片手でスマホ撮影できます、何かあれば同道のガイドさんがすぐ駆けつけ指導してくれるので安心です。山道は多少起伏がありますが馬は慣れたものです、海は海岸沿いを歩けるかとおもいきや海沿いの道を通るだけで眼下に海岸を見下ろして歩きますそれはそれで気持ち良し。慣れないとお尻の位置が鞍からずれてくるので常に左右のバランスには注意すると上手く乗れます。最後乗せてくれた馬にお礼を言い撫ぜて感謝しました。
