All Reviews for TV, Film & Movie Tours

Since the meeting time was set for 6:50 AM, I arrived about 10 minutes early and waited, but when 7:00 AM came, no one showed up. I called and found out that phone support starts at 7:30 AM, which made me feel very anxious as I couldn't get in touch with anyone.

Eventually, around 7:10 AM, a staff member came to pick me up, and when they checked the schedule, it turned out the meeting time was set for 7:00 AM. It seems there had been an unannounced change.

Once on-site, the tour went smoothly, and I was glad to finally enjoy the location visits I had been looking forward to! As for lunch, I went in with low expectations as rumored, and it turned out I was right not to expect much.

待ち合わせ時間が朝6時50分だったため10分前くらいに到着し、待っていましたが7時になっても誰も来ず電話をかけたところ7時半から電話対応開始だそうで連絡もつかず大変不安な思いをしました。
結局7時10分頃に係の人が迎えに来て、予定表を確認したところ待ち合わせ7時となっていました。勝手に変更になっていたようです。
現地では問題なくツアーがおわり、楽しみにしていたロケ地巡りができてよかったです！
昼食は噂通り期待しないで行きましたが、期待しなくて良かった感じでした。

Me and my parents took this tour in order to see the different sights associated with the TV show. We are all avid watchers and it was cool to see where certain things were filmed. The highlight was visiting the home used as McGarrett's home in the show. Our tour guide was awesome and she was able to answer the questions we had about how certain episodes were filmed.

I highly recommend you go! I love Jurassic Park, and I was excited to visit, but it was even more enjoyable than I expected! There was support in Japanese, so I had no difficulties. When it started to rain, they even provided ponchos. The production was wonderful, and the staff were cheerful and fantastic. Thank you so much!!!

行ってみてほしいです！
ジュラシックパークが好きで、ワクワクしていきましたが、予想以上楽しめました！
日本語でのサポートもあって、困難なかったです。雨が降って来たときはポンチョまでいただけました。
演出も素敵だったり、スタッフの皆さんも陽気で素敵です。本当にありがとうございました！！！

My first time at Kualoa.
I had just seen the latest Jurassic World, so I was super excited about this scene and that scene!
The tour guide was friendly and kind.
However, please don't expect much from the lunch buffet. The taste was shocking, and it made my taste buds tremble.
I hardly ate anything.
Still, I'm glad I participated in this tour!

初めてのクアロア。
最新のジェラシックワールドをみたばかりだったので、あの場面やその場面に大興奮！
ツアーの添乗員さんもフレンドリーで、優しい。
ただ、ランチのビッフェだけは、期待しないてください。衝撃の味で、舌が震えてしまいます。
わたしは、ほとんで食べませんでした。
それでも、このツアーに参加してよかった！

It was more of an island tour. Saw some places they filmed at their homes but Definitely wasn’t worth what I paid for. Super disappointing. The guides were nice

I was worried about how much my 2-year-old would enjoy it, but it seems they had fun seeing cows, pigs, and the ocean. Thanks to the Japanese staff who explained everything kindly, we had a great time! We brought a stroller, and they also helped us with where to put it, which was very helpful! During the final garden tour, my child got a bit restless and couldn't sit still, so we let them run freely on the grass in the great outdoors while we waited for the older kids to finish their activities. It turned out to be a very relaxing and enjoyable time.

2歳の子がどこまで楽しめるか不安でしたが
牛やブタさん、海も見れて楽しんでくれたようです。
日本語スタッフが丁寧に説明してくれたおかげでとても楽しめました！
ベビーカーも持っていきましたが置き場所も教えてもらえたり助かりました！
最後のガーデンツアーは、さすがに
子どもが飽きてきてじっと乗ってられないので
大自然の中芝生で思いっきり走らせて
上の子たちのアクティビティが終わるのを待ちましたが、とてもゆっくりした良い時間を過ごせました。

I went on three tours: a movie location tour, a jungle exploration tour, and a garden tour. All of them were rich in nature and enjoyable.

・映画ロケ地ツアー、ジャングル探検ツアー、ガーデンツアーの３つを回りました。どれも自然が豊かで楽しかったです。

The two guides were very friendly and informative. They helped us to understand what it takes to produce an entertaining television program that has spanned so many years.

I was excited about the tour, being a keen Hawaii Five-0 fan & was very happy when I was accepted as a solo traveller. The tour was described as being 4 to 4 1/2 hr duration. I was picked up at 8.15 am & by 11.45 am we were heading back to our hotel. There were two vans with four people in each meeting up at stops along the tour route.

Our Guide was very knowledgeable but I felt she was bored & repeating everything by rote. I still don't know her name as she didn't bother to introduce herself. She could have made the whole morning a lot more interesting. I do appreciate all the locations we were shown & background information we were given.

I felt very rushed & would have appreciated more time to take photographs. Also, being allowed out of the van at the National Cemetery would have been better than trying to get photos out of the windows of the van. The same at the Studios. If the tour lasted another 1/2 hour it would not have been so rushed & maybe a couple more locations could have been included. eg .Aloha Tower or where the Shrimp Truck is located.

I hope I might get another chance to do this tour again. Keeping the tour group small is a great idea.

Hearing from the guide about her experience when she came to Hawaii as a bride, and how she wanted to return to Japan every day, resonated with me deeply, especially knowing that the graves of the first generation are facing Japan. For us, Hawaii is a dream destination, but for Japanese Americans in Hawaii, going to Japan is their dream. They work hard and save money to taste authentic Japanese food and experience Japanese culture. It made me realize that what I take for granted in Japan is not something everyone has access to.

On the boat to the Fern Grotto, there was a live Hawaiian performance, and they sang nostalgic songs in Japanese about longing for home and parents. Although I couldn't understand the fast-paced English commentary, I was happy to see that music is a universal language.

ガイドさんが、ご自分のお嫁に来られた当時のこと、毎日、日本へ帰りたかったと、初代の方々のお墓が日本の方向に建てられていると聞き、どんなにか
帰りたかっただろうと胸に響きました。私達にとって、ハワイは憧れですが
ハワイの日系人は、日本に行くことが、憧れだそうです。そのために一生懸命働いて、貯金して本当の日本食を味わい、日本文化に触れたいとおっしゃっていました。日本に生まれ、当たり前に食べているものが、決して当たり前でないことを、再認識させられました。
シダの洞窟へいく船の中で、ハワイアンを生演奏して下さり、日本語の恋しやふるさと、懐かし父母と歌って下さり、まくしたてるような早口の英語での
司会は、わかりませんでしたが、音楽も世界共通だなと嬉しく思いました。

The island itself was beautiful and impressive, but the guide kept talking about his own family, which made it hard to enjoy the sightseeing. Since I came from a distant country, I wasn't interested in his family stories or struggles; I wanted to hear more about the sights. I would have preferred if he had first discussed the day's schedule and then shared tips on how to view the next sightseeing spot, good places to take photos, or the history of the landmarks. It was disappointing.

On the bus to Honolulu Airport in the morning, an elderly woman came to check the vouchers, but she mentioned that she was called in even though it was her day off. I don't think that's something you should say in front of guests.

島自体は、美しく見ごたえが有りましたが、ガイドさんがご自分の家族の話ばかりするので、今一つ観光が気乗りしませんでした、遠い外国から来ているので、ご自分の家族や苦労話をされても、興味がわきません、もっともっと観光に関する話をして欲しかったです、先に今日のスケジュールを話し、次に行く観光スポットはこういう風に見たら良いとか写真を撮る良い場所とか名所の謂れを話してもらいたかった、残念です。
朝ホノルル空港に向かうバス乗車時、年配の女性がバウチャー確認に来ましたが、今日は休みなのに駆り出されたとか言っていました、ゲストの前で、しゃべることでは無いと思う。

I read in the reviews that there was no need to pay, but it was incredibly fun and the best experience!
1. The Lot Ticket Tour allowed us to enter the world of movies and experience Jurassic Park!
2. The Jungle Tour was amazing because we had a driver with incredible driving skills, making it feel like a roller coaster ride.
3. The Garden Tour was nice since it was a botanical garden.
My child is 9 years old, and while we couldn't do the buggy or horseback riding, this choice was the best.
I've experienced various optional tours abroad, but this was the most enjoyable.
My image of Hawaii has completely changed.
It is indeed pricey, but it's worth it!
The meals were also suited for Japanese tastes, like teriyaki chicken.

口コミには、払う必要が無いって書いてましたが、とんでもなく楽しくて最高でした！
①ロチケツアーは、映画の世界に入れて、ジェラシックパークを体感できました！！
②ジャングルツアーは、ドライビングテクニックが、凄い方に当たったので、ジェットコースターのように、楽しめました。
③ガデーンツアーは、植物園なので、それなりに、良かった。
子供は9才ですが、バギーも馬も無理でしたが、
このチョイス最高。
海外のオプシナルツアーを色々体験してますが、1番楽しめました。
ハワイのイメージ激変。
確かにお高いですが、良いです！
食事も日本人向きでした。照り焼きチキン(^-^)

The location tour was interesting and time passed quickly, but the next jungle tour? The guide was a foreigner and spoke only English. The places we visited felt similar to the location tour. I couldn't understand anything the guide was saying and we just rode around in a truck that had a bit more speed. If I had known the guide would only speak English, I wouldn't have gone.

We wasted about an hour and a half here, and the meal we finally returned to was terrible; it would have been better not to eat at all. The last taste farm had a Japanese guide who was easy to understand, which improved my mood a bit, but we spent almost the entire day going around similar environments and wasted precious time during our stay in Hawaii. I wish the Japanese site had mentioned in the notes that the guide would only speak English.

ロケ地ツアーは面白く時間が過ぎましたが続いてのジャングルツアー？ガイドが外人さんで英語のみ
回る場所もロケ地ツアーと雰囲気変わらず
ガイドが何言ってるか全くわからないままただ少しスピード感を出したトラックで回るのみ
英語のみのガイドなら行きませんでした。
ここで無駄に１時間半位時間を無駄にしやっと戻った食事がまた最悪、食べない方がマシでした。
最後のテイストファームはわかりやすい日本のガイドだったので少し気分が良くなりましたが、いかんせん同じような環境をほぼ一日中回ってせっかくのハワイの貴重な滞在時間を無駄にしました。
日本のサイトで申し込んで英語だけのガイドなら注意事項で書いておいてほしかったです。

An excellent tour but great tour guides. Exceeded my expectations!!

My overall experience with our Hawaii Five-0 tour was absolutely fantastic! Much more than we expected. Amy the tour guide really did an awesome job! I highly recommend her to conduct tour!

The air is fresh, the greenery is beautiful, and you can fully enjoy nature. The crew also entertained us with their lively guiding talk. I think it's definitely a place worth visiting.

空気がよく、緑は美しく、自然を満喫できます。クルーの方々も軽快なガイドトークで楽しませてくれました。ぜひ行くべき場所だと思います。

This was my second time participating, and I enjoyed it again.
Although the weather was bad, the movie location tour was enjoyable.
The beach is recommended when the weather is nice.

2度目の参加で、今回も楽しめました。
天気が悪かったですが、映画ロケ地めぐりは楽しめます。
ビーチは天気が良い時がおススメです。

I was able to see the filming locations of the movie, which was a valuable experience. I had a fun day and would like to come back again.

映画の撮影場所を見ることができで、貴重な体験ができました。
１日楽しく過ごせて、また来たいと思いました。

Our tour guide was Amy and she was awesome. Her knowledge of how the show is created and the actors was greater than any expectation we had. Seeing the McGarrett house and meeting the owner was the highlight of the tour for us. Both the owner of the house and Amy were absolutely wonderful. I think the best tour of our vacation.

The tour was great, George our tour guide provided an up close and personal look at the behind the scene props and WWII History of the Ranch. It was fun to see and stand next to some of the Jurassic Park sets which were used during the actual filming. Afternoon cruise was OK, but it would have been better if it sailed out to some of the sights highlighted like the Chinese Hat and the Island where Gilligan's Island was filmed. Food at their Buffet was very good and plentiful. All was well worth the money paid and I would do it again.

It was our first trip to Hawaii for our honeymoon. We used this tour to visit Kualoa Ranch, which has been a filming location for Jurassic Park and many other movies! Compared to many other tour companies, this one was more affordable, and the experience was the same.

We boarded a large bus at the pickup location (our hotel) in the morning, and since it was early, everyone on the bus was sleeping. During the ride, we filled out a survey for our desired activities, and upon arrival, we were given a schedule for the day. Each person then went to the designated meeting points for their chosen activities.

We chose the movie location tour, jungle exploration, and ocean voyage tour. On the movie location tour, we were able to take photos next to that famous tree from Jurassic Park. The Japanese explanations at various filming points were very clear and helpful. The jungle exploration was guided in English, but it was still enjoyable even with a basic understanding! Here, we were taken to several filming locations, which were different from those on the movie location tour, and personally, I found this part to be even more impressive. The ocean voyage involved getting on a boat and heading out to sea, where we saw many sea turtles, which was truly satisfying. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, so it would have been even more amazing if it had been sunny!

Horseback riding and the buggies also looked like a lot of fun. I would love to use this tour again!

新婚旅行でのはじめてのハワイでした。
ジュラシックパーク、ワールドや数々の映画のロケ地になっているクアロアランチにこちらのツアーを利用して行ってきました！たくさんのツアー会社のものと比較してもこちらの方が割安！体験内容も変わりありません。
朝迎えの大型バスにピックアップ場所（滞在ホテルでした）で乗り込み、クアロアランチへ。朝早いのもありバスの中はみんな寝ています。バスの中で希望するアクティビティのアンケートを取り、現地に到着した際に1日の予定表を渡され、各自で各アクティビティの集合場所に行き体験するといった感じでした。
我々は、映画ロケ地ツアーとジャングル探検、オーシャンボヤージツアーを選択。映画ロケ地ツアーではジュラシックパークで有名なあの木の側で写真が撮れます。また様々な撮影ポイントで日本語の説明をしてくれるのでとてもわかりやすかったです。ジャングル探検では英語ガイドでしたがなんとなくの理解でも楽しめます！ここでも数カ所ロケ地に案内されますが、どれもロケ地ツアーとは別のところで個人的にはこちらの方が凄かったです。オーシャンボヤージも船にのり海に出ますが、船上からウミガメが沢山見れ本当に満足いくものでした。天気があいにくの曇り空でしたので、晴れていたらもっと素晴らしかったことでしょう！
乗馬や、バギーもとても楽しそうでした。また利用させていただきたいです。

We participated with a total of 10 people, from my 70-year-old grandfather to my 4-year-old grandchild. A lucky memory was seeing a sea turtle, while an unfortunate experience was the jungle tour in a downpour.

70歳の祖父からと4歳の孫まで合計10名で参加しました。運良くウミガメが見られたことと運悪くスコールの中でのジャングルツアーは良い思い出です。

Whilst it was beautiful and scenic. It felt very touristy and quite overrated given the price. In hindsight booking the AV prob would have been better. We did the movie tour and secret island with beach activities.

This time, we participated with two adults and two children, a total of four people. The ranch is incredibly vast, and it's even more enjoyable when you compare it to the movie! The bus is very cold, so I recommend bringing warm clothing like a jacket. All the tour guides are entertaining, so definitely participate!

During the cruise, the captain's steering occasionally splashed water on the guests standing at the front, which got everyone excited. There were children on board as well, but it can be quite bumpy, so please be careful.

By the way, for lunch, there was a buffet with delicious dishes like meat, rice, and cake served during the tour, which was great.

今回、大人2人、子供2人の4人で参加です。
牧場は凄く広大で映画と照らし合わせて見るとより楽しいです！
バス内は凄く寒いので上着など温かいものを持っていくことをオススメします。どのツアーのガイドさんも面白いので是非是非参加してください！
クルーズはキャプテンの操縦によって、一番前に立っているお客さんには時折波がかかって、みんな興奮気味でした。子供さんもいましたが、結構揺れるので気をつけてください。
ちなみに、ランチですが、ツアーの合間でバイキングでお肉、お米、ケーキなど美味しい料理がでて、良かったです。

This was a terrific tour well worth the cost. We were driven around the Kualoa Ranch in a comfortable Mercedes van for 2 and 1/2 hours by a guide who had great information, and we were shown filming sites from our favorite movies and TV shows. We were able to enter a site still standing from Jurassic World, and take pictures by the log from Jurassic Park where Sam Neill and the kids hid during the dinosaur stampede. We were able to walk around the bone yard from Kong:Skull Island and see locations from the new Jumanji film which opened and we saw in Honolulu 2 days later. We walked around a fish pond that was used in many movies and we were taken to a a WWII bunker on the side of a mountain that had a lot of movie memorabilia including the submarine from Lost. We were even given popcorn, candy and cold water to enjoy on the trip. We had a wonderful time and have many terrific pictures.

The cave of Shida was very nice. We took a boat to get there, and on the way back, there was a hula show on the boat, creating a relaxed atmosphere on board.

シダの洞窟がとても良かったです。
船に乗って行くのですが、帰りの船上でフラのショーがあり、船内は和やかなムードに包まれていました。

I wanted to participate in the garden tour, but I was told to switch to another tour due to being over capacity, with no explanation as to why we had to change. It felt like they assumed Japanese people wouldn't complain, and it seemed like they were relying on Japanese individuals who had signed up for private tours. If the price is the same, I think it would be better to book this tour through a major travel company.

The lunch buffet had about seven types of desserts, but four of them were empty. The drinks were also empty. Since we had to eat within a limited time, it might be a good idea to bring a little something to eat yourself.

Overall, I felt that there are many beautiful places to see in Hawaii, and it didn't seem worth it to pay this much money to participate in this tour.

ガーデンツアーに参加したかったが、人数オーバーのため、他のツアーにしてくれと言われたが、なぜ私たちが他のツアーにしなければならないのか、全く説明はなし。日本人は何も文句を言わないと思っているのか、個人ツアーで申し込みをした日本人に頼んでいるように思えたので、同じ値段なら、大手の旅行会社を通してこのツアーに申し込みをした方がいいと思う。
ランチビュッフェは、デザートを含め、７種類ほどあったが、４種類は空。飲み物も空。限られた時間で昼食をとらなければならず、自分で食べるものを少し持って行った方がいいかも。
全体の感想としては、ハワイにはきれいな景色を見れるところがたくさんあるし、これだけのお金を払ってこのツアーに参加する価値はないように思えた。

The four-wheeler was a bit scary, but it was thrilling. I was able to experience quite a sensation. It was moving!

４輪バギーは、ちょっぴり怖かったけど、スリルがありました。中々の感覚を味わう事が出来ました。感動的です❗

It was fun to go around the filming locations and the exploration tour was convenient as they drove us around and took photos. However, I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take medication beforehand! It’s enjoyable, but it shakes a lot! I think watching the movie beforehand doubles the fun.

ロケ地めぐりや、探検ツアー車で回ってくれるので楽だし写真もとってくれてよかったが、探検ツアーは乗り物酔いする人は事前に薬を飲むのをオススメ！楽しいがかなり揺れます！映画見て予習してると楽しさ倍増だとおもう。

Excellent tour. Tour guide were very knowledgeable and informative.
