All Reviews for Kualoa Ranch Jurassic Valley Tours

Driving the buggy was my first experience, and I was a bit nervous until I got the hang of it, but it wasn't difficult at all, and I quickly became accustomed to it and enjoyed the drive.

We stopped the car about three times, and the guide shared interesting facts like, "This is where that movie was filmed!" and "This terrain was formed in this way!"

We participated as a pair, and at that moment, we were able to switch drivers.

The two hours felt longer than I expected, and towards the end, I did get a little bored, but I was able to enjoy the stunning views of the mountains and the sea, making it a wonderful experience.

バギーの運転は初めてで、コツをつかむまでは少し緊張しましたが、難しいことはないのであっという間に慣れ、ドライブを楽しめました。

3回ほど車を停めて、あの映画の撮影に使われたのがここだよ！とか、ここの地形はこんな風にしてできたんだよ！とか、ガイドをしてくれます。
２人で参加しましたが、この降りたタイミングで運転手も交代できました。

２時間は思っていたよりも長く、最後の方は少し飽きもきましたが…山と海の絶景が楽しめて、素晴らしい体験ができました。

I enjoyed two activities each day. As mentioned in the guide, I contacted the team at Viator via email and was able to experience both activities without any issues. Each had its own unique appeal, and my family had a great time. Driving on the left side for the first time was manageable since there was only one lane, and the horses for the riding activity were well-trained and calm, making it safe for the kids to ride. There was a Japanese staff member at the Kualoa Ranch reception, so I generally felt at ease. The individual guides for each activity, as well as the staff at the shops and restaurants, spoke only English, which made for some memorable moments as I tried to communicate with my kids despite the language barrier. The hamburgers were delicious too.

The bus stop for the outbound trip might have had some room for negotiation depending on your accommodation. It was a bit of a distance for an early morning departure in an unfamiliar place. On the return trip, they provided drop-off service not only from Kualoa Ranch but also from other activities directly to individual hotels.

1日２つのアクティビティを楽しみました。
案内にもありましたが、ベルトラの方にメールで問い合わせて無事両方のアクティビティを体験することが出来ました。どちらも違う面白さがあり家族で楽しみました。初の左側運転も車線は一つだったので大丈夫でしたし、乗馬は馬がよく調教されていておとなしかったので子供でも安心して乗れました。クアロアランチの受付には日本人の方がいるので基本的に不安はありません。各アクティビティの個別のガイドさん、売店やレストランの方はもちろん英語だけなので、子供と一緒にわからないなりに話したのもいい思い出です。ハンバーガーもおいしかったです。
行きのバス乗り場は宿泊先によっては交渉の余地があったかもしれません。不慣れな場所での早朝の出発で、少し距離がありました。帰りはクアロアランチだけでなく他のアクティビティでも個別のホテルまで送ってくれました。

I was hoping to freely drive around the filming locations at Kualoa Ranch in a buggy! However, we had to follow the guide and could only stop at designated spots during the specified time. I was really looking forward to visiting the giant tree from Jurassic Park, so it was such a disappointment that we couldn't stop there. I think it's better to view the buggy ride as an attraction where you can drive through vast nature. I learned that it's best to join a dedicated tour for movie location visits. But the nature at Kualoa Ranch is truly wonderful!

バギーでクアロアランチの映画ロケ地を好きに走れるつもりだった！
ガイドを先頭に指定場所のみ指定時間内で撮影時間。。
　一番楽しみにしていた、ジュラシックパークの大木の所に立ち寄れなかったのが残念過ぎる。
　バギーは広大な自然を運転できるアトラクションだと思った方が良い
映画ロケ地巡りは、それ専用のツアーに参加しましょう。という教訓を得た
でも、クアロアランチの自然は素晴らしいですよ

The two hours flew by, and it was really fun and memorable!

It's best to participate in clothes that you don't mind getting dirty and wear sneakers!

There are lockers available for a fee where you can take things out multiple times, so I think it's a good idea to bring a change of clothes!

2時間あっという間ですごく楽しかったし思い出になりました！

汚れてもいい服、スニーカーで参加された方が良いです！

施設には有料ですが何度も取り出しが出来るロッカーもあるので着替えも持っていくといいと思います！

Family trip to Hawaii for three
We signed up for this tour after our daughter said, "I want to ride a horse."
After a brief five-minute video in Japanese explaining how to ride a horse, the tour started right away.
In addition to us, there was a couple, making a total of five people in the group.
With an experienced guide, we rode through the bush on horseback.
For us, who are not good at English, it was helpful that the guide mixed in Japanese with instructions like "left, right, please stop."
There were ups and downs along the way, and our horse worked hard to climb, making it a thrilling experience.
Especially when we enjoyed horseback riding amidst breathtaking scenery, it felt like we were in a scene from a Hollywood movie.
Participating in this tour created truly wonderful memories for us.
We are sincerely grateful.

家族３人のハワイ旅行
娘の「馬に乗ってみたい」という一言でこのツアーに申し込みました。
日本語による簡単なビデオで、5分ほどで馬の乗り方のレクチャーを受けた後、早速ツアーがスタート。
私たちのほかにカップル（２人）と計５人のグループ
経験豊富なガイドさんと共に、馬に乗ってブッシュの中を進んで行きました。
英語が苦手な私たちには、「左、右、止まってください」と日本語も交えてくださり助かりました。
道中にはアップダウンもあり、お馬さんが頑張って登ってくれて、スリル満点の体験となりました。
特に、息をのむような絶景の中で乗馬を楽しんだ時は、まるでハリウッド映画のワンシーンの中にいるかのような気分でした。
このツアーに参加できて、本当に素晴らしい思い出ができました。
心から感謝しております。

We had so much fun riding our UTVs. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and it was definitely our favorite activity from our trip to Hawaii. We had worn clothes that could get muddy (as we read in the description) but we had no mud, in fact it was a little dusty. This is all just dependent on weather. We would do this again if we go back to Oahu.

As a big Jurassic Park enthusiast an absolute must do. Several movie sets.

It was very pleasant and fun! We rode a tractor-like bus for about 10 minutes to get to the zipline location. There were movie posters here and there, and it seemed like they filmed here. The driver was explaining things, but I couldn't understand in English. I kind of got the atmosphere, though. The zipline instructor was also kind. Of course, it was in English, but I could somewhat understand. They communicated with simple English like, "What animals do you like?" There were only me and my child as Japanese people, but it wasn't scary and was enjoyable!

とても気持ち良くて楽しかったです！
10分くらいトラクターっぽいバスに乗ってジップラインの場所まで行きます。ところどころ映画の看板があって、ここで撮影したみたい。運転手さんが説明してたけど英語で分からなかった。雰囲気でなんとなく分かったけど。
ジップラインのインストラクターさん？も優しかった。もちろん英語だけどなんとなく分かった。『動物何が好き？』とか簡単な英語でコミュニケーションしてくれる感じ。日本人は私と子供だけだったけど、怖くないし楽しかったです！

A 90-minute tour through the jungle of Kualoa Ranch.
You get to ride in a vehicle that can handle the large mountain roads as you explore Kualoa Ranch. The driver explains everything in English, and once you pass through the jungle, you can see breathtaking views.
There are multiple photo opportunities at scenic points, so I took a lot of pictures.
The ride was quite bumpy and fast, making it feel like an attraction.
If I had to point out something, it mentioned in the list of items for this tour that a photo of a Japanese driver's license or passport would be acceptable. I brought my driver's license, but it was rejected by the staff as ID, so I wish they had specified that a driver's license was not acceptable.

90分間クアロア牧場の密林を巡るツアー。
でかい山道でも走れる車に乗せてもらいクアロア牧場を駆け巡ります。全て英語でドライバーが説明してくれますが密林を抜けると絶景が見れます。
何度も絶景ポイントについて写真タイムがあるので撮りまくりました。
激しく揺れたりスピードを出して走ってもらったり、まるでアトラクションでした。
強いていうならこのツアーの持ち物欄に日本の免許証やパスポートを写真で撮影したものでも問題ありません。と書かれていたので免許証を持って行ったが、かなくなに係員にIDとして却下されたので免許証は不可と書いて欲しかった。

Hotel pickup included, 2-hour four-wheeler buggy experience (morning).
Due to the bus schedule, we didn't have time to eat lunch on-site, but we thoroughly enjoyed the 2-hour buggy ride.
The driver can be changed during the ride (there were about three change points), and my spouse and I took turns driving while enjoying the stunning views. It was a very satisfying experience.

ホテルに送迎つき、2時間の四輪バギー体験（午前）
バスの送迎の時間の都合上、
現地でお昼を食べる時間はありませんでしたが、
バギーは2時間たっぷり楽しめました。
運転手も途中で交代可能（交代ポイントは3カ所くらいありました）で、夫婦で交代して乗り、
絶景を見ながらの走行、とても満足のいく体験でした。

I suddenly saw a mountain that looked just like the one from Jurassic Park, and it brought back memories of that scene. You can also see the ocean, and there are many breathtaking viewpoints. The drive was exciting too.

まさにジェラシックパークで出てきた急にきりだった山が見えてシーンが思い出されました。また海も見えるし、絶景ポイントが沢山ありました。
運転もエキサイティングでした。

When you think of Hawaii, you might think of the many ocean activities, but the mountain activities are also fantastic. We had an amazing time horseback riding on a trail that felt like dinosaurs could appear at any moment. The horses were all very smart and walked in line without much need for reins. The Japanese guide provided explanations, and there was also a video in Japanese that explained horseback riding, so even if you're not good at English, it's not a problem. I would love to participate again.

ハワイと言えば海のアクティビティが多いですが、山のアクティビティも最高です。
恐竜が出てきそうな山道を家族で乗馬して最高な時間でした。
お馬さんはみんな賢くて手綱裁きはほとんどせずに列に並んで歩いてくれました。
日本の方のガイドさんの説明や日本語のビデオでも乗馬の説明をしてくれるので、英語が苦手でも問題ありません。
また参加したいです。

There were 4 adults in our group. The novice tour was fantastic. Joe was our tour guide and she was awesome! She made sure we were comfortable before taking off. Explaining every step of the way. Very knowledgeable of the area. There were a couple of challenges along the way (we had never ridden e-bikes before) but it was exactly what I had expected as far as the bike ride went and the tour was even better. If you are a movie buff or just want to see the views it is a great all around. Highly recommend the novice e-bike tour.

While riding a buggy, I toured filming locations like Jurassic World, and the views of the ocean and mountains from there were absolutely stunning!

I also had a lot of fun driving through bumpy roads and shallow river-like areas with the buggy!

There was a bit of waiting time before and after the activity, but there were places to eat and souvenir shops, so I didn't have any idle time, which was great!

　バギーを乗りながらジュラシック・ワールド等の撮影地を周るのですが、そこから見る海や山がとにかく絶景でした！

　そして凸凹道や浅い川のようなところをバギーで通ったりし、凄く楽しかったです！

　アクティビティの前後の待ち時間が少々ありましたが、食事を食べれるところやお土産屋さんもあり、暇な時間ができなくて良かったです！

We had an amazing time riding the ATV. Our tour guides were great and kept us entertained. The views are great and the information was interesting. We will be coming back.
The only thing I would recommend is having a tour guide in the back as well as in the front. We had someone stay behind for about 10 minutes and there was no one to guide us in the back. Also please make the ATV's suitable for short people. I couldn't drive it, because I couldn't reach the peddles.
But over all an great experience. Loved it!!!!

In the morning, we had a cruise, followed by a location tour in the afternoon. The cruise involved transferring from a bus to a boat, and then to the cruise ship. On the cruise ship, there was an entertaining aspect where we got splashed with waves before reaching the turnaround point, and if you’re at the bow on the first floor, you will get soaked. Even on the second floor bow, you will get quite wet, so I think it’s fine to enjoy it there knowing that.

The lunch buffet was typically American and quite hearty, but we could also enjoy juice, fruits, lemon cake, and chocolate chip cookies. The movie location tour provided information in English about where filming took place, but it was in a field… and I dozed off a bit due to the bumps in the car. At the end, we had 10 minutes to take photos at a location with many fossil-like features.

The return bus started check-in after 3 PM, and we departed early, which was good since there wasn’t much to do. Overall, it was a fun day, and the guide was cheerful, making it a great experience.

午前中にクルーズ、午後からロケ地ツアーでした。
クルーズは初めにバス移動→舟→クルーズ船と乗り換えしていきます。
クルーズ船では折返し地点前から激しく波のしぶきを浴びるエンターテイメント性があり、一階の船首にいるとびしょ濡れになります。二階の船首でもかなりビショビショになりますので、それを承知で船首で楽しむもよしだと思います。
ランチブッフェはアメリカらしい大味ですが、ジュース、果物やレモンケーキ、チョコチップクッキーなども食べれます。
映画ロケ地ツアーは英語でここで撮影された〜等の案内がありますが、そこは原っぱで…車の揺れでウトウトしてしまいました。最後は化石風のものがたくさんの撮影場所で10分間各々撮影。
帰りのバスは15時すぎにはチェックインが始まりら早めに出発しました。することがなかったので、これはよかったです。
いずれも楽しく、案内役の方も陽気でよい一日となりました。

First of all, it was really too much fun... The first one started with a bit of nervous excitement. But once it began, the amazing views, thrills, and enjoyment made it feel like no time had passed. I'm grateful to the girls who joined me and made it even more fun. Just remembering that feeling brings back the joy! The hike to the next zip line was quite tough, but it was so much fun that it made it all worthwhile! I want to participate again. Thank you!

まずはほんとに楽し過ぎて‥
一本目はちょっと緊張してドキドキからのスタートでした。でも始まってしまったら最高の景色とスリルと楽しさであっと言うまでした。
一緒に回ってくれた女の子達も楽しく盛り上げてくださり感謝です。
あの感覚を思い出すだけで楽しさがよみがえります！
次のジップラインまでのハイキングは結構キツかったけど、それが吹っ飛ぶほど楽し過ぎました！
また参加したいです。
ありがとうございました！

This was my first time participating in a tour at Kualoa Ranch. Since I had rented a car, I opted for a plan without transportation. With the no-transportation plan, there were no coordinators, so the process was simply checking in upon arrival, and it didn't matter whether I made the reservation here or directly on-site.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, but there were two disappointing points. I had checked the best seats in advance, so I arrived early at the meeting place to secure a good seat. However, due to a Chinese family that arrived last, my seat was changed to the very back, which was the bumpiest spot.

Additionally, that Chinese family occupied the seats in front of us and, for some reason, kept eating rice balls and Spam in the shaking vehicle, creating a cloud of dust. I wanted to enjoy the natural scents, but instead, it smelled like Spam.

クアロアランチのツアーは初参加。レンタカーを借りていたので送迎なしのプランでした。送迎なしプランはコーディネーターさんなどいないので到着してチェックインしてといった流れでこちらで予約しても現地で直接予約しても変わりません。
ツアー自体は満喫しましたが残念だった点が2点ほど、
事前にベストの座席をチェックしていたので早めに集合場所に行き座席を確保したのですが、最後に来た中国人家族団体のせいで座席を変更されてしまいまさかの1番揺れる1番後ろの席になりました。
さらにその中国人家族団体は私たちの前の席を陣取っており何故か砂煙が舞う揺れる車中でずっとおにぎりやスパムを食べていました。せっかく自然の香りを堪能したかったのにスパム臭い。

Expérience géniale !
Dans un décor sublime un moment inoubliable
Je vous conseille le VTT Raptor pour faire le plein de sensations.
Vous pouvez venir avec vos enfants en toute sécurité !

This time, I had a two-hour horseback riding experience with my grandchildren. We leisurely toured a location that was also used for a movie shoot, making it a wonderful memory for my 70th birthday. Thank you very much! ^ ^

今回は孫たちと2時間の乗馬体験
2時間たっぷり　映画ロケ地にもなった場所をゆっくり巡り最高の古希の思い出になりました　有難うございました^ ^

기대를 해서 갔는데 완전 대 실망
다 떨어져 나갈 것 같은 버스에 창문이 없어서 먼지가 풀풀 날리고,
영화 촬영지라 해서 영화의 한 장면 흔적이라도 있을꺼라 생각 하고
기대 하고 갔는데, 영화 촬영한 간판 조그만한거 하나 붙여 놓고 여기서
촬영 했다는 설명.. ㅡㅡ^
누가 간다고 한다면 절대 추천 하지 않겠슴
돈 낭비, 시간 낭비 만 한 것 같음.

No one spoke English, but the local coordinator was very kind, interesting, and made it enjoyable for us.

英語が誰ひとり、できませんでしたが、現地のコーディネーターの人が大変、優しく、おもしろく、接していただき楽しめる事ができました

I am at fault for being late, but I was delayed in checking in due to traffic conditions, and it seems my reasons were not accepted, so the fee of 150,000 yen will not be refunded. I thought at least I could change the time, but that was also not allowed. I feel so sorry for the children; it was the worst.

時間に遅れた私が悪いのですが、交通事情でチェックインに遅れ、理由を聞き入れてもらえず、代金15万円は返却されないようです。せめて時間変更をと思いましたが時間変更も駄目ということ、子供達が可哀想で可哀想で､､､最悪でした。

We loved our Raptor trip at Kualoa Ranch. The property is beautiful with so many great stories, and the tour guides were great. We highly recommend!

The tour was awesome. My 13 and 11 year old loved it and loved getting to hear all the stories of the different actors that have been there and left wanting to watch a ton of movies! Sam was great and so was our tour guide! Loved being able to get off and take pictures at different spots

We participated as a family of three. While cruising on the boat, the waves were quite strong, and the driver enjoyed riding the waves, resulting in most people getting soaked, which made for a fun time. I was trying to avoid the splashes, but my daughter was having a blast and making a lot of noise. I would love to participate again.

家族3人で参加しました。クルーザーで海を流していると、波が結構強く、運転手も楽しんで波にのり、大半の人がビシャビシャになり、楽しい時間でした。私はシブキを避けてましたが、娘は大騒ぎではしゃいで楽しんでました。また参加したいと思いました。

What an amazing place, everyone was super friendly and we had a blast!! Cool places to stop and take pictures. Don't forget to bring a change of clothes.

It was my first experience with a buggy, and I had a great time. I was especially glad that my two grandchildren participated and were so delighted.

初めてのバギー体験でしたが、大変楽しくすごすことができました。とくに二人の孫が大喜びで参加して本当によかったと思いました。

I suggest to book this activity early. I wanted to book the ATV tour that is driven by us but those reservations were all gone. The only option was to be driven by a tour expert and I have to say that was the best! Our expert was very knowledgeable and friendly. If I would do it again I would definitely choose the option to be driven be an expert. The ranch is beautiful and views are breathtaking. Learning about the history was also great.

First, I learned on the bus that a driver's license was required, and I realized I hadn't brought mine, which left me feeling hopeless. However, after consulting with a Japanese guide upon arrival, I was informed that a photo would suffice.

In the end, both my spouse and I were able to drive on an extraordinary road. The location was also fantastic, with many experiences that we wouldn't have had if we hadn't participated in this activity, such as taking commemorative photos at movie filming locations!

If you're hesitating, it will be a wonderful memory, so definitely give it a try!

まず、運転免許証が必要なことを行きのバス車内で知り、持参していないことに気づき、絶望していました。
しかし、到着後日本人ガイドの方に相談したところ、写真でも大丈夫とのことでした。

結局夫婦ともに非日常のロードを運転することができました。また、ロケーションも最高で、映画の撮影地での記念撮影などこのアクティビティに参加しなければ体験できないことがたくさんありました！

迷っている方がいれば、最高の思い出になりますので是非参加してみてください！
