All Reviews for TV, Film & Movie Tours

If you only do one thing here do the premier movie tour.. The afternoon cruise was a nice way to finish the visit

I only had the image of playing at Waikiki Beach when thinking of Oahu, but there are tours that allow you to experience the grandeur of nature, such as mountains and forests. Additionally, for movie lovers, this is an irresistible activity, and my husband and I were extremely excited just to be able to visit the filming locations of Jurassic Park, which we both love.

Here are my impressions in bullet points:
- I was thrilled to see the filming locations of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World in person. In particular, it was exhilarating to explore the sets that were used for filming while riding in a jeep. (Entering the cage of the Indominus Rex from Jurassic World and seeing the claw marks on the walls that were left from the time of filming was the most exciting part.)
- The ocean tour on the cruise was beautiful, and the splashes felt wonderful. We also saw quite a few sea turtles, which was exciting.
- For those who are not interested in movie locations, there are activities at Secret Beach, and you can also ride buggies through the magnificent nature, so I think you can still have a great time. We didn't choose the buggy activity, but watching the tour guests riding buggies next to us made me really envious. It looked like so much fun.

オアフ島と行ったらワイキキビーチで遊ぶというイメージしかなかったが、山や森などの自然も壮大さを体験できるツアー。
また、映画好きにはたまらないアクティビティであり、私たち夫婦は共にジュラシックパークが大好きなのでそのロケ地を見て回れるという時点で最高に興奮した。

↓箇条書きで感想。
・ジュラシックパーク、ジュラシックワールドのロケ地を生で観れたこと。
　とくに、ロケ地で使ったセットがそのまま残っていてその中をジープに乗って探索することができとても興奮した。
（ジュラシックワールドのインドミナスレックスの檻の中に入れて、壁の爪痕なども映画当時のものがそのまま残っておりこれが一番興奮した）
・クルーズに乗っての海上ツアーでは海がとても綺麗でしぶきがとても気持ち良かった。
　また、ウミガメもかなり見れてこれも興奮した。
・映画ロケにまったく興味ない人は、シークレットビーチのアクティビティがあったり、
バギーに乗って壮大な自然を疾走するのもあるのでそれでも十分楽しめると思う。
我々はバギーのアクティビティは選択しなかったのだが、横でバギーで走っているツアー客を見ていたらすごい羨ましくなった。とても気持ちよさそうだと思う。

It's unfortunate that the morning shuttle bus was too cold due to the air conditioning (laughs). For lunch, the buffet is better inside the house rather than outside where the birds come; a spacious building would be nice!

On a positive note, there was a mix-up with the order of activities upon arrival, but it was quickly corrected. After that, we smoothly enjoyed the attractions and had a memorable and fun day (the whole family is very grateful).

残念な事⤵…朝イチの送迎バスがエアコン利きすぎで寒かった(笑)、昼食のバイキングは鳥が来る外ではなくhouse中が良いですよ広い建屋がいいなぁ～

素晴らしい事…到着後食い違いでアクティビィの順番違いは有りましたが直ぐに修正、その後はスムーズにアトラクションをenjoy 想い出に残る楽しい1日を過ごさせて頂きました(家族全員大感謝です)

I participated in three attractions, and time flew by!

Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I wanted to experience these typical attractions, and I was very satisfied.

3つのアトラクションに参加しましたが、あっという間に時間が過ぎました！

ハワイが初めてだったので、こういう普通のザ アトラクションを体験したかったので大満足です。

Loved this tour, zoom was a great guide and could tell us a lot of inside sories;) we went to grat places and points with a great view

Amazing from start to finish! Ami our guide was fabulous she has great charisma and really enjoys her life with the show and this is passed on during the tour - so much that we felt as if we were almost part of the five o family too( would be great!!!!!) The tour was delivered at the right pace - nothing was rushed, lots of time for questions, great inside information given with fabulous humour! Also this tour is small so it is personal,you see all the locations in the show ( characters houses etc) and we were lucky enough to visit and go inside Steve McGarretts house. THe owner was wonderful and spent time talking to each of us - she is divine! All in all a first class trip delivered by amazing people. Thank you so much - this is one experience to cherish.

Amy from Hawaii Jeep and Specialty Tours was really fantastic, up to date information and knowledgeable in relation to Hawaii Five O filming. Knows where their latest filming locations are, had movie scenes on the iPad to line up with location that where filmed.

Excellent Tour - very happy

On the cruise, I was able to see manta rays and sea turtles swimming. Since my child is small, we couldn't use the stroller, but I would definitely like to visit again when they are old enough to ride.

クルージングでは、マンタやウミガメが泳いでいるのを
見ることができました。
子供が小さいのでバギーには乗れませんでしたので、乗れるような歳になれば
またぜひ遊びに行きたいです。

I waited at the designated pickup location before the scheduled time, but they did not come. When I called the company, they said that other participants had already been picked up, and I was picked up by another bus 30 minutes late. On the return bus, there was no member check, and we got on the bus in almost complete silence. Kauai was nice.

指定されたピックアップ場所に定刻前から待っていたが来なかった。
会社に電話すると既に他の参加者はピックアップしたと言って30分遅れ
で他のバスにピックアップされた。
帰りのバスもメンバー確認もなくほぼ無言でバスに乗った。
カウアイ島はよかったです。

Initially, I was considering a tour that offered Japanese language support, but since it combined horseback riding and ATV experiences, it would have resulted in two separate package tours. Therefore, I opted for this tour, which allows for three package options. Although the tour was in English, the staff who picked us up were bilingual in English and Japanese. We selected our desired package tour on the bus, and by choosing Japanese as the language, we were able to incorporate it into the Japanese tour on-site.

After completing the three attractions and lunch, it was soon time to head back, so I was a bit disappointed that we couldn't spend more time enjoying the location.

当初日本語対応のツアーにしようかと悩みましたが、乗馬や4輪バギーと組み合わせになり、パッケージツアーが2つになってしまうため、パッケージツアーが3つ選べるこちらのツアーにしました。言語が英語ツアーでしたが、迎えに来ていただいたスタッフの方は、英語日本語共に話すことのできる方でしたし、希望するパッケージツアーをバスの中で選ぶのですが、言語を日本語に選択することで、現地では日本語ツアーに組み込んでいただけました。
3つのアトラクション・ランチを終えると、すぐに帰りのバスの時間になり、あまり現地でゆっくりするという事ができなかったので、少し残念でした。

Kauai Island is a place I visited for the first time. It's a wonderful location filled with nature. You can encounter the grandeur of Waimea Canyon, fern caves, wildflowers, and various plants. This time, there was a seal lounging on the beach. I'm incredibly grateful to the driver who spotted it and let us know! He found it while driving! It was so cute that I took a lot of pictures, and then I ended up burying my face in the sand. Above all, the talks from Mr. Abeshima, who took care of us throughout the trip, were fantastic. Dressed in a pink Hawaiian dress with a floral hat and sunglasses, he made sure we had a great time and treated us like family, making the trip even more enjoyable. I will never forget Mr. Abeshima's big heart and the magnificent nature of Kauai Island.

カウアイ島は初めて訪れる島になります。自然が沢山あり素敵な場所です。ワイメア渓谷の壮大さシダの洞窟、野生の花、植物に出逢えます。今回はちょうど砂浜にアザラシが寝そべっていました。アザラシを見逃さず教えてくれたドライバーさんに大感謝です。運転中に見つけてくれたんですよ！可愛すぎてで写真を沢山撮ったら砂に顔を埋めてしまいました。そして何よりもずっと面倒をみてくれた安部島さんのトークが最高でした。ピンクのハワイアンドレスにお花の帽子、サングラスのファッションに身を包み一生懸命楽しませてくれまた家族のように接してくださり更に面白い旅となりました。安部島さんの大きな心とカウアイ島の壮大な自然を忘れる事はないでしょう。

Our guides were so friendly and fabulous, amazing tour, a lot of places seen in the tv show and so well explained, just some word
DO IT !

It's great to have guidance in Japanese, and the Hawaiian jokes are fun too. We drove around the jungle in a speeding Jeep and visited plants at a farm and ranch. In the afternoon, my younger child suddenly needed to go to the bathroom, which made us late for the movie tour, and the bus we had reserved left without us. However, the ticket center quickly arranged for the next bus. We were super excited at the entrance to Jurassic Park. The facilities are very accommodating, which is reassuring. The program is friendly for families with children. However, the early morning is a bit tough. With a 7:10 AM pickup, I had to wake up at least by 6 AM. Since breakfast was at 7, I gave up and woke up at 5:30 to make porridge in the hotel kitchen. If the program could be adjusted, it would be nice to have a menu with one in the morning and two in the afternoon.

日本語で案内してもらえるのと、ハワイアンジョーク？がまた楽しい。疾走するジープでジャングルをまわったり、農園や牧場で植物を見学したり。午後、下の子が急にトイレに行きたがって、映画ツアーの時間に遅れてしまい、予約してたバスは行ってしまったんですが、チケットセンターですぐ次のバスを手配してくれました。ジュラシックパークの入り口？セットに大興奮。施設内は、至れり尽くせりで、安心ですね。子供連れにはやさしいプログラムです。ただし、朝早いのがちょっとしんどい。7時10分ピックアップだと、朝は最低でも６時起床です。朝食が7時からだったので、諦めて、私だけ５時半に起きてホテルのキッチンで雑炊作りました。プログラムを調整できるんだったら、朝一つ、午後二つ、とかのメニューがあっても良いのでは。

The arrangements were smooth. The pick-up after arrival was also seamless, making it a great value and very convenient. I will definitely use this service again next time.

手配までもスムーズです。到着後もスムーズに送迎してもらえるので料金もお得で大変便利でした。次回もまた利用させて頂きます。

On the flight there, I previewed "King Kong" and "The Lost World," and with that lingering feeling, it truly felt like I had stepped into the world of the movies. The guide for the movie bus tour was interesting, and the food was delicious.
For horseback riding, the site mentioned a height requirement of over 140 cm, but the paper distributed on the bus stated it was over 137 cm. Since my son is 138 cm, I thought I should have signed up for the tour that included horseback riding instead of the one that didn't.

行きの飛行機の中で「コング」と「ロストワールド」を予習してので、その余韻もあって、本当に映画の中の世界に紛れ込んだようでした。映画バスツアーのガイドさんの話も面白く、食事も美味しかったです。
乗馬は、サイトには140cm以上と書いてありましたが、バスの中で配られたアトラクションを選ぶ紙には、137cm以上と書いてあり、息子は138cmだったので、乗馬を含まないツアーで申し込んだのに、それなら乗馬がある方で申し込めば良かったなと思いました。

We had a three hour tour. This was way overpriced and what I would consider a rip off. I think an extra touch would of been to find out where they were filming for the day and at least let us know even if we had to go on our own. I wouldn't care to do it again and will advise my friends not to. It also said to bring money for lunch. There was no lunch stop.

One The best tours on our trip and we would definitely do it again and we would recommend anyone to do it. The drivers knowledge was top notch and frequently stopped to point things out to us it was fabulous!!!

1. Movie location tour
2. Ancient fish pond and garden tour
3. Jungle exploration tour
4. Cruise
5. Private beach

It was a tour where you could choose three from 1 to 4, or 5 plus one from 1 to 4.

Our family, consisting of my husband, myself, and our 6-year-old son, participated in tours 2 to 4.

The garden tour (2) was unexpectedly enjoyable and fulfilling. It was an experiential tour. We were introduced to Hawaiian flowers and got to enjoy their scents, observe cotton, and taste fresh macadamia nuts. The taste was different from roasted nuts, making it a valuable experience. It seems that carnivorous fish inhabit the ancient fish pond, but we didn't get to see any.

The jungle exploration tour (3) was a jeep tour that took us to various highlights. We climbed mountains and enjoyed taking photos with the sea and the ancient fish pond in the background. It felt more like a historical discussion about the Hawaiian monarchy rather than a typical jungle exploration tour.

A common feature of tours 2 and 3 was the introduction of filming locations. It seems that Kualoa Ranch is famous for being a filming location, as there were many introductions to movies, dramas, and Japanese TV shows.

The cruise (4) was also enjoyable. We cruised to the private beach, encountered sea turtles, and unexpectedly got soaked, which made our child very excited. If you're lucky, you might also encounter manta rays.

For the private beach tour, participants were required to bring swimsuits and towels, but for the other tours, only long pants were mandatory, so I didn't bring a change of clothes, which was a mistake. If you're planning to participate in the cruise (4), bringing a change of clothes is essential.

Overall, our child had a great time throughout all the activities. We were satisfied, ranking them in the order of 4, 2, and 3 for enjoyment.

①映画ロケ地巡り、②古代養魚池とガーデンツアー、③ジャングル探検ツアー、④クルーズ、⑤プライベートビーチ

①〜④のうち3つまたは、⑤プラス①〜④のうち1つ選択するツアーでした。

我が家は夫婦と6歳男の子で②〜④に参加しました。

②のガーデンツアーが予想以上に楽しく、充実していました。体験型のツアーです。ハワイの花の紹介と実際に香りを楽しんだり、綿の観察、生のマカダミアナッツの試食などがありました。ローストされたナッツとはまた違った美味しさで、貴重な経験をしました。
古代養魚池には肉食魚が住んでいるようですが、お目にかかれませんでした。

③はジープで見所を回るツアーでした。山を登り、高い所から海と古代養魚池を背景に写真撮影を楽しむ印象です。ジャングル探検ツアーというよりかは、ハワイ王朝の歴史的な話がメインな印象です。

②と③で共通しているのは、ロケ地の紹介があったこと。クアロア牧場はロケ地で有名なのか、映画やドラマ、日本のテレビ番組の紹介が多く感じました。

④も楽しいクルーズです。プライベートビーチをクルーズし、海ガメに出会ったり、想定外にずぶ濡れになったりと子どもは大はしゃぎでした。運が良ければ、マンタなどにも出会えるそうです。

プライベートビーチのツアー参加者は水着やタオルの持ち物指定がありましたが、他は長ズボン必須とのことのみで着替えは持っていかず、失敗しました。④のクルーズに参加される、参加するかもと予定されている方は、着替えは必須です。

全体を通して、子どもは全て楽しく過ごしました。④②③の順で楽しかったと満足です。

We really enjoyed our Hawaii Five-0 tour. It was fun to see the many locations we have seen on television. We also really enjoyed our guide's expertise. The highlight of the tour was our time at the home for Steve McGarrett. The owners of the home were very special people. The only downside was it was off season so we didn't get to experience an actual taping of the show. Still would give this tour 5 stars! Thank you!

Was a great tour. Guide was very knowledgeable and was very entertaining. Well worth the money. Definitely recommend.

Definitely take this trip---it was so much fun going to the places where the show films and the houses where everyone "lives".Amy was amazing--

There were several Japanese-speaking staff members, and thanks to their guidance in Japanese, I was able to fully enjoy the tour. The main place I wanted to visit was the filming location of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World.

We traveled to the Jurassic Park filming site by large bus, where the guide took photos with a dinosaur figure.

At the Jurassic World filming location, the set where the Indominus Rex was contained remained intact, and we were able to drive inside. It was like an exploration course on a mountain road among several options. It felt like we were heading towards the bumpy road deep in Kualoa Ranch. While we couldn't get out of the car there, we could take photos from inside. I was sitting on the left side, so I was able to take pictures with the Indominus Rex's claw marks in the background.

I am very satisfied because I wanted to visit this set from Jurassic World. I hope this information can help others who are looking for the same experience, as I had a hard time finding it myself.

日本語スタッフが何名かおり、日本語での案内があったため、ツアーを満喫することができました。
メインで行きたかったのはジュラシックパーク・ジュラシックワールドの撮影地でした。
ジュラシックパークの撮影地は大型バスで行き、ガイドさんが恐竜の人形を持って撮影してくれました。

ジュラシックワールドの撮影地ではインドミナスレックスが隔離されていたセットがそのまま残っており、そこの中に車で入ることができました。
それは、コースがいくつか選べる中の山道の探検コース？のようなものでした。クアロアランチの奥のデコボコ道まで進もう！みたいなものです。
そこで車を降りることはできませんが、車の中から撮影できました。私は左側に座っていたので、インドミナスレックスの爪痕を背景に撮影できました。

ジュラシックワールドのこちらのセットに行きたかった為、とても満足です。
こちらの情報を探してもなかなか見つけることができなかった為、同じような思いの方のお役に立てればと思います。

This is my second time participating. The last time I had a different package, but it was so much fun that I signed up for this tour this time. The guide was humorous, and I was able to enjoy the tour. We were blessed with good weather, and it didn't rain, making it the best day ever. Thank you very much.

２回目の参加です。前回は別のパッケージだったが、すごく楽しかったので、今回はこのツアーを申し込みました。
案内のお兄さんはユーモアで、ツアーを楽しく体験できました。
天気にも恵まれ、雨が降らず、最高の１日でした。
ありがとうございました。

I highly recommend the Jungle Expedition & Kualoa Legend Tour. It was thrilling, just like Indiana Jones. I didn’t check the list of activities, so I didn’t realize that horseback riding wasn’t included and had to pay an additional fee to change it on-site. Be aware that horseback riding and buggies are not options to choose from. There was plenty of time for horseback riding, and I enjoyed the great outdoors of Kualoa while riding. I thought the horseback riding and jungle expedition were excellent.

ジャングル探検＆クアロア伝説ツアーがお勧め。インディジョーンズさながらのスリリング感を楽しめました。アクティビティ一覧を確認しなかったため乗馬が含まれていないことに気が付かず、現地で追加料金を支払い変更しました。乗馬、バギーは選択できませんので注意が必要です。乗馬の時間もたっぷりあり、クアロアの大自然を馬に乗りながら楽しめました。乗馬とジャングル探検は非常に良かったと思います。

this was a great day with plenty of variety. The guide we had was able to continue (seemingly without drawing breath) with an informative and entertaining history of the site. At the same time driving safely and ensuring that we didn't miss a thing.

The movie location tour was satisfying, but I highly recommend the private beach on an uninhabited island that you can reach by crossing a gently flowing river in a small boat. You can also enjoy stand-up paddleboarding without worrying about others, and the coastline is beautiful, making for picturesque views.

映画ロケ地ツアーも満足でしたが、小型ボートで目の前の流れが緩やかな川を渡った無人島のプライベートビーチがオススメです。Supパドルボートも他の人を気にせずでき、海岸線も綺麗で景色が絵になります。

Incredible tour! So much to see plus get background & info on our fav show!

We booked this trip cuz we are fans snd wete so pleased that our tour guide is an extra on Five 0. We got to meet the pilice chief (see picture) and had a fantastic time!!

It was the original scenery of Hawaii.
The nature is abundant, and I was able to enjoy authentic hula dancing in the fern cave.
It was a wonderful experience.

ハワイの原風景、そのものでした。
自然が豊富で、シダの洞窟では、本場のフラダンスも堪能できました。
素敵な体験でした。

We had a blast on this tour. Zoom was our driver and he was fantastic. I loved the Ipad on the dashboard to show us the location of many scenes from the show. We stopped at many locations. He even stopped to get us breakfast due to the heavy traffic getting to the pickup location.It was fun to see all of the star's houses on the island and especially to go to Steve's house and sit in the chairs facing the ocean and going inside to meet the actual owners of the house. Thanks to Zoom and Amy to give such a wonderful tour. The smaller vans gave us such a personal touch.

Thanks-Jim and Grace
