All Reviews for TV, Film & Movie Tours

Most of the time took pictures and saw the historical hollywood filming locations. The best part was when a staff took pictures for us at a ranch and made us run from one side to another. Absolutely had no clue of why we had to run but there was a video recorded by the staff which was incredible. There was a toy dinosaur that looked like it was chasing after us (like one of the scenes you see in the movies). The ways how they record you on video and take photos are splendid and their ideas are so creative.

We did the movie sites tour which was great! Our tour guide was incredibly informative and very passionate about the ranch. We didn’t have a chance to do more like the Jurassic tour or zip lining, so if we get a chance to come back - those are on our list to do next time!

The weather was nice, and it's no wonder so many people participated. The guide was very happy! The cruise was amazing. I had a hearty lunch as well. I will continue to enjoy Hawaii from tomorrow.

お天気が良く、多くの方が参加されるだけのことは、あります。ガイドのお兄さんがとてもHAPPY
‼️クルーズ最高でした。　ランチもガッツリ頂きました。あすからもハワイを楽しみます。

An interesting tour. Staff are friendly and knowledgable. Loved that we got to stop off and see a few of the sites along the way. Soooo many movies had scenes filmed on location. The views are extraordinary as well.

This is a tour I wanted to go on for a long time. Since going individually with THE BUS takes a lot of time, I decided to join this tour.

Upon arrival, I received a tour explanation in Japanese, and during the waiting time, I was able to see horses and take photos.

The movie location tour was great as we traveled while enjoying the magnificent mountains from the bus. It was nice to take pictures with dinosaur bones used in Jurassic World.

The Kaneohe Bay cruise was smooth without feeling seasick, and there was no splashing of seawater (those who don't mind getting wet can sit at the front), allowing us to relax while enjoying the beautiful sea.

However, the explanations were in English, so I couldn't understand much. Also, since I was seated at the very back of the bus on the return trip, it was too cold, and I felt like I might catch a cold.

前から行きたかったツアーです
個人で(THE BUS)行くのは時間もかかるのでこちらに参加させて頂きました

到着すると日本語でツアーの説明を受け、待ち時間に馬を見たり写真を撮ったり出来ます

映画ロケ地巡りはバスから壮大な山々を見ながら周ります
ジェラシック・ワールドで使われた?恐竜の骨などと写真が撮れて良かったです

カネオヘ湾クルーズも酔うほど揺れず、海水がかかる事もなく(濡れても良い方は前方に)、綺麗な海を眺めながらのんびりできました
　　
ただ英語の説明なのでチンプンカンプン
だった事と、復路のバスが1番後ろだった為か、寒すぎて風邪引きそうでした

I was able to explore under clear skies without encountering any squalls.

I had high expectations for the movie location tour, so I felt it was just okay and wasn't particularly moved. However, I was impressed by the breathtaking views during the jungle exploration tour, especially since I didn't have high expectations for that. It's all about not expecting too much!

スコールにも合わず、晴天の中回れました。

映画のロケ地巡りは期待が大きかったこともあり、まあまあと感じ、感動まではいきませんでしたが、ジャングル探検ツアーは期待していなかった分、絶景に感動しました（笑）
期待し過ぎないことですね。

You can encounter a landscape that is completely different from Waikiki. It's surprising that it has been a filming location for Jurassic Park and many other movies! Please go and discover the Hawaii you don't know!

ワイキキとはまるで違う風景に出会えます。
ジュラシックパークを撮影したりたくさんの映画のロケ地になっていることにもビックリ！
知らないハワイに会いに行ってください！

Best tour ever! Veronica went above and beyond with the tour! Very outgoing and nice! The attention throughout the visit was AMAZING! I can't wait to go back

I love Jurassic Park, so I was interested in this place. At the meeting point, Twin Fin Waikiki, I got flustered when they said my name wasn't on the list, but it seemed to be just an oversight.

The meeting point is easy to find, and since there are many buses stopping there, I think it's better to wait on the road. We arrived almost on schedule, and they provided guidance in Japanese for about half of the group, which was easy to understand.

For each tour, they tell you how many minutes before to arrive at the meeting point, but generally, they leave around that time, so I feel it's better to be there 5 to 10 minutes early. The meeting point is easy to find.

Lunch is a buffet. Even if you haven't ordered the buffet, there are places to eat. There is also a designated smoking area, which is reassuring for smokers. Actually, since there is quite a bit of waiting time, having a smoking area is helpful.

During the location tour, we get off the bus twice, but the rest is from the vehicle. The guide takes pictures of you being attacked by dinosaurs in front of the Jurassic Park sign. After that, we leave from the dock, which was also a filming location for Lost, and board a boat.

We cross over Moiliili Pond to get to the ocean, so there is a transfer along the way. Once we are out at sea, if you're at the front, you get splashed with water when the boat bounces. I think it was intentional, but it was exciting.

Since we had some time, I also rode on the boat, but I wonder if just the location tour would have been enough? If you love movies and have the time, I recommend it.

ジュラシックパークが好きなので、興味があった場所です。
集合場所のツインフィンワイキキで、名前を伝えると、リストに無いとか言われて焦りましたが、ただの見逃しのようです。
おい・・・汗
集合場所も、バスが多く止まっているので、車道に出て待っていた方良いと思います。
ほぼスケジュール通り到着すると、約半数の日本人向けに日本語でガイダンスをしてくれます。
分かり易い。
ツアー毎に各集合場所に、何分前にと言われますが、大体がその時間には出発していたので、集合時間の5分から10分前には集合場所にいた方が良い気がします。
ただ、集合場所は分かり易いです。
昼食はビュッフェになります。
ビュッフェを頼んでいない場合も、食べられる場所があります。
喫煙所もしっかりあるので、喫煙者にも安心です。
と言うか、待ち時間が結構あるので、喫煙場所があって助かります。
ロケ地巡りツアーでは、2回下車しますが、あとは車上から。
ジュラシックパークの看板前で、恐竜に襲われる写真をガイドの方が撮ってくれます。
その後、ロストの撮影場所にもなった船着場から出て、ボートに乗ります。
モイリー池を越えて海に出るので、途中乗り換えあり。
海に出て、先頭に載っていると、バウンドした時に下から潮をかぶります。
ワザとだとは思いますが、盛り上がってました。
時間があったので、ボートにも乗りましたが、ロケ地巡りツアーだけでも良かったかな？
映画が好きで、時間があるようなら、おすすめです。

It was breathtaking to see the landscapes I had seen in Jurassic Park and LOST up close. The tour guide's American jokes were very funny.

ジュラシックパークやLOSTで観た風景を間近で観れるのは圧巻でした。
ツアーガイドさんのアメリカンジョークはとても面白かったです。

We really enjoyed this tour.Shawn was amazing.Friendly,courteous and very knowledgeable.Would definitly do it again.

Do this tour- you get to see the entire farm in different ways! and lunch was easy to feed our larger family too!

Kualoa Ranch is vast, and you can go horseback riding and tour the filming locations by bus, along with many other tour participants. For those who don't understand English at all, it seemed like they just let the bus driver's explanations go in one ear and out the other. Everything was explained in English. There were also many participants who were not Japanese.

The scenery was very beautiful. The buffet had very few food options, and there were flies, so my nervous child couldn't eat much.

It's best to think of it as completely different from something like Universal Studios.

クアロアランチは広大で、乗馬できロケ地をバスで回ったりたくさんのツアーの方と現地でもバスで回ります。英語がさっぱり分からない方には
バス運転手の説明も聞き流す感じの様でした。
全て英語説明でした。
日本人以外の参加者も多数おられました。

景色は非常によかったです。
ビュッフェは食べるものがすくなくハエがたかって
神経質なうちの子はあまり食べられませんでした。

ユニバーサルスタジオの様な感じでは全く違うと
思われた方が良いです。

Was the best experience in Hawaii. The driver was really friendly and nicely.
Kualoa Ranch is a beautiful place and you can enjoy with the family.
We did Hollywood Filming tour and was amazing, We saw the different places were many movies filmed and we loved the culture. You can see the plantation and different animals around of the ranch.
Thank you Kualoa Ranch for the best experience!

I had a good time overall on the second tour, but the explanations were all in English. For those who understand, the jokes make sense, but for those who don't speak English, it's completely meaningless and boring. I wish they would at least provide a translation device.

2回目のツアーで全体的には楽しかったが、すべて英語の説明でわかる人には冗談が通じるが、英語が分からないと全く意味不明でつまらない。せめて翻訳機くらい用意してほしい。

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

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.

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。

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.

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。

In the morning, we went on a Kaneohe Bay cruise, and surprisingly, the waves were quite high, causing some people to get soaked inside the boat. The guide was amazing!!! The lunch buffet featured tender and delicious pork and chicken. The calamansi and pineapple juice were also good. In the afternoon, we took a lot of photos at Jurassic Village, and it was a very satisfying day (✿^‿^).

午前は、カネオヘ湾クルーズ、思いのほか波が高く、船内に波がザバ〜ン・・びしょ濡れになった方も。ガイドさん最高！！！
ランチビュッフェは豚肉、鶏肉が柔らかくて美味しかった。カラマンシーとパイナップルジュースもgood。午後から、ジュラシックビレッジでたくさん写真を撮り大満足の1日でした(⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠)

My guests from Japan and I had a great time! Our tour guide was so funny & knowledgeable. Weather and the views of the windward side of Oahu were beautiful! A visit to Kualoa Ranch is a must when visiting Hawai’i.

The jungle tour involves driving through the mountains to get close to the summit, offering breathtaking views. Since it's by car, it's quick, but if you were to hike it, it would take more than half a day. As mentioned in other experiences, there is quite a bit of dust, especially when a four-wheeler is ahead of you. Perhaps because it's the dry season, the surrounding trees are changing color. If you're sensitive to dust, wearing a mask might be a good idea. As for the movie filming locations, I haven't watched many films, so the only one I recognized was Jurassic Park. The farm tour was great, especially the cacao tasting.

ジャングルツアーは車で山のなかを走って頂上に近いところまで行って絶景です　車なので早いですが自力で登ったら半日以上かかります　体験談にもあったけど砂埃は結構あります　特に四輪バギーが前を走ったら酷い　乾季だからなのか周りの木々も色が変わっている位　嫌いな人はマスクしたらいいかもしれません　映画のロケ地は余り映画を観ていないのでジェラシックパークくらいしかわかりませんでした　農園ツアーはカカオ試食が良かったです

It was a condensed plan! The Kaneohe Bay cruise included a shuttle bus to the boat, which was an activity in itself, and it felt refreshing with the windows wide open. We rode on two types of boats, walked on the island, and the sea was beautiful. We were able to see coral reefs and honu in the shallow waters, and everywhere we looked was a photo opportunity; it was all so beautiful and thoroughly enjoyable.

The movie location bus tour had us boarding at the end, so our family of four ended up sitting separately... But in a way, it allowed us to interact with tourists from overseas. There was only one other Japanese group besides us.

The bus driver and guide performed a hula dance at the end, and it was incredibly moving! Even without a costume, there was an instant beautiful aura. I felt that this dance was a prayer.

My teenage son said he wants to experience something more active next time, like horseback riding or buggies, but my grandmother in her 70s was very happy with everything. We also bought the photos taken before the tour as a keepsake on our way back. I highly recommend it.

凝縮されたプランでした!
カネオヘ湾クルーズは、船までの送迎バスもアクテビティのひとつ、窓全開で爽快でした。船も2種類に乗り、島を歩くし、海も綺麗、浅瀬ではサンゴ礁やホヌも見ることができて、道中、どこをとっても、全ての景色がフォトチャンス、綺麗で、大満喫でした。
映画ロケ地バスツアーは、最後に並んで乗り込んでしまったので、家族4人がばらばらの相席に‥。それもそれで、海外からの観光客と、交流できたように思います。日本人は、私たちの他に1組だけいらっしゃいました。
バスのドライバー兼ガイドさんが、最後に、フラを踊ってくれたのですが、その踊りが、大変感動的でした！衣装をきてなくても、一瞬で美しいオーラに。この踊りは祈りなんだなと、感じました。
10代の息子は次は、馬とかバギーとかアクティブなものを体験したいと言ってましたが、70代の祖母は、どれも大変喜んでました。ツアー前に撮ってもらった写真も、帰りに記念に買ってきました。お勧めです。

Beautiful property.
Our only struggle was the waiting time for the shuttle.

I was really looking forward to coming to Kualoa Ranch since I've watched the Jurassic Park series countless times with my son. After arriving in Hawaii, I finally made it to this dream destination. The moment I saw the movie scenery in person, I was so moved that I got goosebumps! Not only from the Jurassic series, but also from movies like "50 First Dates," which I had watched without knowing it was filmed here, and "Kong," which I saw on the ANA flight. I was constantly surprised to find that many movies I had seen were filmed at Kualoa Ranch. As a movie lover, it was truly a blissful time.

The lunch buffet included in the tour was hearty and quite delicious. The spare ribs, in particular, were very satisfying. Considering that one meal is included, the tour price felt like a great deal. Dining while overlooking Hawaii's great nature was wonderful.

In the afternoon, you can enjoy two types of cruises: one on the lake (or pond?) and one at sea. The weather turned a bit bad during the sea cruise, but seeing Kualoa Ranch from the ocean was impressive and reminiscent of the opening scene from the first Jurassic Park. Although the cruise wasn't very long, it was enough to fully enjoy Hawaii's natural beauty.

Kualoa Ranch offers various plans, but I highly recommend this one!

ジュラシックパークのシリーズを何度となく息子と見てきたので、クアロアランチに来るのを本当に楽しみにしていました。ハワイに到着し、いよいよ憧れの地へ。映画の風景を目の当たりにした瞬間は鳥肌が立つくらい感動しました！ジュラシックシリーズだけでなく、ここがロケ地だと知らずに見ていた映画「50回目のファーストキス」、行きのANAの飛行機の中で見た映画「コング」など、見たことがあるたくさんの映画のロケがクアロアランチで行われていて、「おー！」と驚いてばかり。映画好きとしては、本当に至福の時間でした。

ツアーに含まれているランチビュッフェはボリューム満点で、味もなかなか美味しかったです。特にスペアリブが食べ応えがあります。1回の食事が含まれていると思うと、ツアー代金がお得に感じます。ハワイの大自然を眺めながらの食事は素敵でした。

午後のクルーズは湖（池？）と海の2種類のクルーズが楽しめます。海のクルーズの途中で少し天気が悪くなってきたのですが、海から見るクアロアランチは迫力があり、最初のジュラシックパークの冒頭シーンを彷彿させます。時間としてはそれほど長くありませんが、ハワイの自然を満喫するのには十分でした。

クアロアランチには色々なプランがありますが、このプランはお勧めです！

kids and adults loved the fun day we had would recommend it to all ages...

When we arrived at Kualoa Ranch we had difficulty finding the right check-in desk and line to go in. We had bought tickets online, but we had to wait in the same long line as those who still needed to get tickets. This process was not organized very well. However, once we got to our tour bus, for the Jurassic Park Adventure, everything was done well. Our guide, Eli (not sure on the spelling) was informative, knowledgeable and funny. He stopped at a Macadamia Tree and cracked open nuts for us to try (this was towards the end of June). We stopped at various movie sites, and had plenty of time to take pictures and look around. The scenery is beautiful and I highly recommend this tour.

We did the movie set Bus tour with our 2 grandkids (7 and 4 yo).
It’s 90 minutes but could easily be done in 60.
The ranch scenery is beautiful but the actual ‘sets’ were less than impressive.
Overall I would not recommend this tour. Not worth the $200.
