Oahu
Exceeded our expectations! The tours and guides are excellent. Buffet lunch was good.
It was a beginner course, so I thought it would be easy, but there were some challenging parts that made it very interesting. Our guide was a man named Luis, and he spoke English slowly, which made it easy for the children to understand, and they were happy about that. He also showed a lot of consideration, and I think it’s a tour that can be enjoyed by a wide range of generations along with the magnificent scenery.
The only area for improvement is the amount of downtime. We departed from Waikiki at 7:45 AM and arrived around 9:00, but the tour didn’t start until 11:30. After the two-hour tour, the return to the hotel was initially scheduled for 5:30 PM. It would have been nice to have some events to participate in, but everything was popular and sold out, so we ended up with quite a bit of free time. I asked the local staff to change to the 3:30 PM bus, but even then, we still had a lot of time to spare. I felt it would be great if there could be an improvement where we could choose the pickup time during the reservation stage.
初心者コースですので、楽々かな、と思っていたら、そこそこハードな部分もあってとても面白かったです。ルイスさんというガイドでしたが、英語をゆっくりと話してくれるので、子供たちも分かりやすかったと喜んでいました。また、いろいろ心配りもしてくれて、雄大な景色とともに、幅広い世代で楽しめるツアーだと思います。
唯一改善点は、ロスタイムの多さです。朝7:45ワイキキ出発で、９時ぐらいに到着ですが、ツアー開始は11:30。また、２時間のツアー後、ホテルへの送りは、当初17:30出発となっていました。何か参加できるイベントがあればいいのですが、どれも人気があってSold Outなので、かなり時間を持て余してしまいます。現地のスタッフにお願いして、15:30 のバスに変更してもらいましたが、それでもまだかなり余裕がありました。予約段階で、送迎時間を選択できるような改善ができるといいのにな、と感じた次第です。

Unfortunately, it rained lightly during my visit, but I was able to fully enjoy the magnificent nature. Riding the electric bike was a breeze! The guide spoke English and provided thorough explanations, which made me feel comfortable participating. As mentioned in other comments, if you're concerned about mud (which may include natural animal waste and horse manure), it's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. I brought disposable plastic shoe covers that I purchased from a 100 yen shop in Japan, and they turned out to be better than I expected, so I recommend them. Please refer to the photos for information about coin lockers and raincoats.
残念ながら小雨の日にかかってしまいましたが、壮大な自然を満喫できました。電動自転車でラクラクでした！ガイドさんは英語ですが丁寧に説明いただいたので安心して参加できました。他の方のコメントにもありますが、泥ハネ（自然動物や馬の糞を含む）を気にされる方は、汚れても良い格好でいくのがいいです。日本から100均で購入したビニールの使い捨て靴カバーを持って行きましたが、思ったより良かったのでおすすめです。
コインロッカーやレインコートについては、写真をご参考にしてください。

I was a beginner at mountain biking, but I had no problems thanks to the pre-ride video viewing and practice sessions. I had the best experience in the wonderful nature of Kualoa, which is also a famous filming location for movies. I highly recommend it!!
マウンテンバイクは初心者でしたが、事前のビデオ視聴や走行練習があったので問題なかったです。
有名映画のロケ地でもあるクアロアの素晴らしい大自然で最高の経験ができました。
本当におすすめです！！

The guide was very kind and provided a great tour, making for a very enjoyable time! The hibiscus ice bar was delicious!
ガイドさんが、親切に案内してくれてとても楽しい時間が過ごせました！
ハイビスカスアイスバーが美味しかったです！

What a blast, we got a bunch of cool knowledge on all different pieces that make kualoa ranch!!
Fun to get all the movie history experience, as well as getting to see the beautiful farm! Family friendly too
I recommend mountain biking over buses, buggies, and horses! Since it's electric, it was easy to ride, and being able to go at our own pace was great.
バスよりも、バギーよりも馬よりも、マウンテンバイクがおすすめ！電動なので楽々で行けました、自分たちのペースでまわれるのもいい

The local tour was very satisfying! The bus to the destination took a while to arrive, and when it finally did, it passed the meeting point and picked up passengers in front of a different hotel. Fortunately, someone else was inquiring about the bus information from the tour company, and we found out it was indeed the pickup bus, which saved us from any issues. However, I think it would be reassuring to have the bus company's information in advance and to receive updates if there are any changes to the pickup location.
現地ツアーは大満足です！
行きのバスがなかなか来ず、来たと思ったら集合場所前を通り過ぎて別のホテルの前でピックアップになりました。たまたま他の方がツアー会社にバスの情報を問い合わせていて、迎えのバスであることが分かりことなきを得ましたが、事前にバス会社の情報や、ピックアップ場所の変更があれば新しい情報が分かると安心できるかなと思いました。

I participated with my 67-year-old self, my 66-year-old wife, my 38-year-old daughter, and my 34-year-old son. The other participants were a couple of white people in their 30s, and it felt like a personal tour, allowing us to relax. The male tour guide was always smiling and made it enjoyable. A white woman fell twice and bruised her knee area, but the tour guide quickly helped her, so there was no problem. It was my first time on an e-bike, but next time I would like to try something for intermediate riders.
６７歳私、６６歳妻、３８歳娘、３４歳息子で参加しました、ほかの参加者は３０歳ぐらいの白人さんカップルだけで、パーソナルツアーのようなかんじでりらっくすすることができました、ツアーガイドの男性はいつも笑顔で楽しかったです、白人女性のかたが２度ほど転倒して膝周囲を打撲していましたが、ツアーガイドさんがすばやく助けてくれ問題なかったです；はじめてのEバイクでしたが、次回は中級者向けにTRYしたいです

Absolutely amazing combination. Scenery and guides were excellent. Bit disappointed in the movie tour as part of sets deteriorated because of passage of time. Also thought you would see more of current sets. Farm Tour was very interesting which also included some movie sets. Lunch was excellent.
Overall great day out and fantastic place that is trying to maintain green friendly eco systems and preserve area for future generations.
Would definitely go again as there were other trips like zip lining which we did not have time to do,
We were torn between the four-wheeler and the e-bike experience, but since it was just the two of us, we chose the e-bike. As a couple in our fifties, we were concerned about our stamina, but the e-assist was quite powerful (with three levels), so that was not an issue. However, please note that those under 150 cm may have difficulty reaching the ground.
四輪バギーと迷いましたが夫婦2人での参加でしたので、eバイクの体験にしました。
アラフィフ夫婦の為、体力の心配がありましたがeアシストの力がかなり強く（3段階）その点は問題ありませんでした。
ただ、150ｃｍ以下の方は足がつかない可能性がありますのでその点はご注意ください。

So very glad I booked this excursion.
This was definitely by far one of our best excursions. We were able to see and learn so much about all the different movies filmed at this location. The trips were well timed and spaced apart enough that they did not overlap into one another. The guides were knowledgeable and very accommodating. Lunch was really good with great selections. I feel like a trip to O’ahu is not complete without this excursion. Will definitely recommend this excursion to others visiting Hawai’i.
Very nice experience, beautiful landscapes, your mind flies with so much nature and seeing the places where you saw a movie, wow! Spectacular experience, I recommend it
The staff at the e-bike rental only spoke English, but they were very considerate, which I appreciated. I am glad that I was able to ride through the magnificent Kualoa Valley on an e-bike. I am also grateful to the staff. Thank you very much.
eバイクのスタッフさんは英語しか話せない方でしたが大変気を遣って頂き恐縮でした。あの雄大なクアロア渓谷をeバイクで駆け抜ける事が出来た事を嬉しく思います。スタッフさんにも感謝です。ありがとうございました。

We had the best time on our jungle tour . Our tour guide was outstanding . Funny, informative and we were captivated from the moment we sat in the seats and took off , until we returned back to where we started. It was the highlight of our tour experience. I would give this tour an outstanding rating!
Unfortunately the next tour was a huge disappointment, the movie tour.
While it was interesting seeing the cardboard signs where all the movies took place, there were little if no remaining evidences that any movie ever were filmed there. That was my mistake as the driver explained that all props must be removed.
Our driver mentioned immediately that he had “ deadpan humor” which sorely missed the mark. While he was knowledgeable and his information was interesting, his style of presentation was filled with unnecessary repetitive words “Also here within here collectively also here “ . My suggestion would be to work on simplifying the dialogue to keep the.audience engaged. Sadly, we decided to leave after the tour missing the last tour we had paid for.
We participated as a family (father, mother, a high school sophomore son, and a junior high school daughter). My daughter hadn't ridden a bicycle in a long time, so she was anxious and initially said she didn't want to ride, canceling her reservation. However, just before the event, she decided she wanted to participate after all and made a new reservation. I felt a bit sorry about the changes, but I really appreciate how smoothly VELTRA handled the cancellations and changes in the number of participants!
On the day of the event, there was some traffic on the highway, so we arrived slightly late, but the schedule had enough buffer time before the activity started, so it was fine.
The activity involved our family of four along with two couples, making a total of eight participants, with one instructor guiding us all as we rode around the ranch. At the beginning, we watched a safety video, chose our bicycles, and practiced a bit before setting off.
My daughter was right at the height limit, so she couldn't quite reach the ground while seated and looked anxious, but she seemed to get the hang of it after a while. I think if you're around 155 cm tall, you should be able to reach the ground comfortably. Additionally, one of the younger female participants seemed a bit scared of the speed at times and struggled to keep up, but the instructor rode slowly to help her, and she managed to complete a lap. Since we rode on unpaved slopes, it might be a bit intimidating for those who are not used to cycling.
Overall, it felt fantastic to zip through such beautiful scenery, and everyone at the facility was very kind (though they didn't speak Japanese), making it the best activity! I think families, couples, and even solo travelers can enjoy it!
家族（父、母、高2男子、中2女子）で参加しました。
娘は久しく自転車に乗っていなかったので不安がっており乗りたくないと言って一旦一人だけ予約をキャンセルしました。
しかし直前になってやはり参加したいと言い出し、再度予約。
申し訳ないなぁと思いつつ、キャンセルや人数変更の手配がとてもスムーズにできたのでVELTRAさんには感謝です！
当日は高速道路の渋滞などもあり集合時間に若干遅れてしまいましたが、アクティビティ開始までは多少余裕をもった時間設定になっていたためセーフでした。
アクティビティは私たち家族4人と、他に男女のカップルが2組いて、計8人に対してインストラクターが一人ついて全員で一緒に牧場内を走行します。
開始時には安全確認のための映像を見て、各自自転車を選び、少し練習をしてから出発です。
娘は身長制限ギリギリだったので座った状態ではぴったり足がつかず不安そうでしたが慣れると大丈夫そうでした。
155cmくらい身長があると足がつくイメージかと思います。
また、同行メンバーの若い女性の方は途中スピードが怖かったのか、なかなか流れについて来れない場面もありましたがインストラクターの方がゆっくり走ってくれたり、どうにか1周していました。舗装されていない坂道を走ったりするので自転車に抵抗のある方にとっては少し怖いのかもしれません。
とにかく景色のいいところを颯爽と駆け抜けていくのがとても気持ちよくて、施設の方もみんな親切で（日本語は通じません）、最高のアクティビティでした◎家族、カップル、ひとりでも楽しめると思います！

I enjoyed it more than I had imagined. The course was varied, allowing for different ways to have fun. The lunch was fresh and delicious, with both meat and vegetables. The tour led by Mr. KOA was especially enjoyable.
想像していたより、楽しめた。コースがバラエティに飛んでいて、いろいろな楽しみ方が出来る。ランチはお肉も野菜も新鮮で美味しかった。特にガイドMr.KOAさんのツアーは楽しかった

Had a fantastic time on this tour! Our guides were great - fun and knowledgeable - and made the whole experience worth it! The whole ranch area is absolutely stunning - so picturesque it's hard to know where to look nex whilst trying to concentrate on the path ahead! This quickly became one of our favourite activities and now want an electric bike!!
I enjoy learning about WW2, so this was a nice tour for me. Seeing movie sites was super cool too. Our tour guide was great and very informative - but I'm sure this will be the luck of the draw for which guide you get.
Kualoa Ranch is clearly the best choice for outdoor adventures in Oahu. So much fun from start to finish! The farm, jungle, and movie locations tours were spectacular. Mahalo
The movie tour was fantastic! It was beautiful and interesting. The tour guide was entertaining and engaging!
It was interesting to walk through the old WW II bunker and to hear the history of the area.
Thank you for a great experience!
Great experience. Tour driver Cindy was very knowlegeable and accommodating.
We signed up for a mountain bike tour for three people! Just before the tour, there was a video explanation with Japanese subtitles, which made us feel secure about the operation. The guide also explained everything again in English.
During the tour, we were shown filming locations from Jumanji and Jurassic Park, and they even took photos of us using our phones, making it a bright and fun experience.
We were able to feel the vastness of nature and see famous filming locations during the fulfilling two-hour tour. There are some ups and downs on the path, but with gear adjustments, even women can ride smoothly. It’s not just non-stop riding; there are breaks at scenic spots and filming locations, so it’s not too tiring. Since there can be mud splashes, it’s recommended to wear darker clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty rather than light-colored ones!
家族3人でマウンテンバイクツアーに申し込みました♪ツアー直前には日本語の字幕付きのビデオ解説もあり、操作は安心。同じことをもう一度ガイドのお姉さんが英語で説明してくれました。
ツアー中はジュマンジやジェラシックパークのロケ地を案内してくれ、私たちの携帯を使って写真を撮ってくれサービスもあり、明るく楽しいツアーでした。
広大な自然を感じることができ、有名なロケ地を実際に見て充実した2時間ツアー。アップダウンの道もありますがギアの調節をすれば女性でもスイスイ行けます。ずーっと走りっぱなしではなく景観の良い場所やロケ地などではバイクを降りて休憩もあるのでそれほど疲れません。
泥はねがあるので白っぽい服よりは黒っぽい汚れても良い服装がおすすめです♪

The ranch is spectacular and if you like a bit of country you will love not just the movie sets the farmland and animals. Highly recommend.
We did the novice e-bike tour. It has been my most favorite activity so far. Our guide Justice was incredibly knowledgeable friendly and kind. I feel we have a better understanding of the history of the island. With the e-bike tour we also got some exercise! It was great!
We had a great time with Kualoa Ranch Experience - Jurassic Valley Movie Tour. Our guide was outstanding and she provided us with many interesting facts. Highly recommended!
I rode the smallest mountain bike. It was tough at first, but once I got used to it, it was a breeze. I rode 9.5 kilometers, and since it was electric, I didn't get tired at all going uphill! I was worried about the weather in the morning, but by the time of the activity, it had cleared up completely, and the greenery of the mountains was even more beautiful. The color of the sea from the high ground was incredibly stunning and moving!
However, the path was muddy, and the splashes from the bike tires were quite something. It was a rare experience to get muddy at my age. Since the weather was uncertain, it was a good idea to bring a change of clothes (there are paid lockers available in the park that you can access). My bag was also a waterproof one, which was a smart choice. My daughter was able to borrow a bike, so I think it's fine if you don't have one.
Since there were only two participants, we could enjoy our time and take photos freely. The guide spoke only in English, but it was very easy to understand, so it worked out. I think anyone who can ride a bike normally can participate; it felt amazing to cut through the wind and ride through Kualoa!
マウンテンバイクは一番小さいのに乗りました。
最初に乗る時は苦労しましたが、慣れてきたら余裕でした。9.5キロも走りましまが、電動なので坂も全然疲れません！朝から天気が心配されましたが、アクティビティの時間にはすっかりお天気になり、山の緑がいっそうキレイでした、高台からの海の色もめちゃくちゃキレイて感動！
ただ、道がねかるんでいて、自転車のタイヤからの泥はねがすごかったです。この歳でどろんこになる貴重な体験でした。お天気があやしかったので着替えを持って行っていたのが正解でした(園内に出し入れ可能な有料ロッカーあります)。カバンもウォーターバックでしたので、それも正解。娘は貸してもらえてましたので、無くても大丈夫だと思います。
参加が2人だけでしたので、時間や写真も自由にフリーの状態て楽しめました。ガイドは英語のみですが、とても聞き取りやすく、何とかなりました。
自転車に普通に乗れる人でしたら参加可能だと思います、風を切ってクアロアを走り抜けるのは最高に気持ち良かったです。

My family and I really enjoyed our tour. The scenery is astonishing. Mesmerising view. Our tour guide/driver Precious was very entertaining, friendly, and enthusiastic. Hopefully we can back again to try other tours.
The tour guide is very nice, given a lot of information about which movies were filming at which spots.
