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!

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♪

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。

Personally, I thought this tour was great! I was able to watch a video explaining the tour in Japanese, and I felt reassured as I learned how to use the bicycle while going around the tour. It was good. When it started to rain, there was no mudguard on the bicycle, so my clothes and shoes got very muddy. I recommend going in clothes that you don't mind getting dirty and bringing a change of clothes.
個人的にこのツアーはとても良かったです!
日本語のツアー説明の動画も見ることができ、自転車の使い方も分かりながら安心してツアーに回ることができ、よかったです。
途中で雨が降ってきて、自転車に泥除けがないため服や靴に非常に泥がかかるので、本当に汚れてもいい格好で行き、着替えを持参することをお勧めします。

I participated with my 65-year-old mother!
We were in a team of eight, which included two groups of six people from Korea and the two of us.
At first, we watched a video in English on how to drive, but they also showed us a separate video with Japanese subtitles.
The guide spoke entirely in English, so we couldn't understand everything, but they explained the necessary safety information with gestures, and we had plenty of practice time, which made us feel secure before setting off.
I initially thought it might be a bit difficult for my mother due to her age, but there were some older participants in the other groups (not Japanese), and above all, we were able to experience something that is hard to come by in Japan, which made my mother the happiest.
The guide took a lot of photos for us, and the Korean group we participated with were very kind, creating truly wonderful memories.
65歳の母と参加しました!
一緒のチームになったのは韓国人グループ2組6人と、私たち母娘2人の計8人でした。
最初、運転方法を英語のビデオで見るのですが、私たちは別で日本語字幕付きのビデオを見せてくれました。
ガイドの方は全て英語で話すので、全てを理解することはできませんでしたが、安全に必要なことは身振り手振りで説明してくれましたし、練習時間もたっぷりとってくれたので安心して出発することができました。
最初は母の年齢には少し難しいかな?と思いましたが、他のグループにはもう少し年配の方(日本人ではなく)も参加していましたし、何より日本ではなかなか経験できないことができて、母が1番楽しんでいました^^
ガイドさんにたくさん写真も撮っていただき、一緒に参加した韓国人グループの方々にも優しくしていただき、本当に良い思い出になりました。

I had always thought about visiting Kualoa Ranch someday. Since my husband loves Jurassic Park, we chose this tour. It felt like we were going through three short tours in one day. Each segment lasts 90 minutes, almost like a college class! The explanations are in English, but the American jokes are simple enough that you won't be completely lost. We learned about Hawaiian plants, and surprisingly, there were some aspects that felt like a school trip. We even got to crack macadamia nuts ourselves and enjoy fresh ones, making it a tour filled with attractions beyond just visiting movie filming locations. I was very satisfied. However, the time commitment is long, so it might feel like a waste if you're on a short stay. The round-trip bus is extremely cold, so I recommend bringing a thicker jacket or hoodie.
いつかは行ってみようと思っていたクアロアランチ。夫がジュラシックパークが好きなのでこちらのツアーにしました。3つのショートツアーを一日かけて周る感じです。90分1コマなのでまるで大学の授業のよう笑 英語の説明ですが、アメリカンジョークも簡単なものだったりするのでそんなに何を話してるかわからない状態にはなりませんが、ハワイの植物を学んだりと意外と修学旅行チックなツアーもありました。マカダミアナッツを自分で割ってフレッシュなものを食べれたりと、映画のロケ地訪問だけではない魅力が詰まったツアーで大満足でした。ただ、拘束時間が長いので短期滞在だと勿体無いかも。往復のバスは極寒なので厚めの羽織ものやパーカーをお持ちになることをおすすめします。

We did the Jungle expedition, movie sets and agriculture tours. The guides at the ranch were great. The ranch itself is beautiful. We learned a lot of interesting facts about Polynesian culture, what’s grown on the ranch and got to try a few foods while on the agriculture tour. I took a star off because the bus driver was kind of a jerk. He complained about the other driver and belittled us for not laughing at his jokes or wanting to interact with his aggressive attempt at a side show on the way to the ranch. One lady did attempt to interact with him by asking a question and he got angry with her. No one attempted to engage with him after that. On the ride back to Waikiki he didn’t speak and hurried people off at their stops.

Astounding! My husband and I looked forward to this tour for three years. Covid decided to interrupt. It was well worth the wait and then some. Huge fans of the show. McGarret’s house was surreal. Actually being there blew us away.
More importantly, Sean (not Flippa) was sensational. Cannot say enough about him. Here goes: Professional, personable, polite, informative, thoughtful, knowledgeable, patient. Kind and went above and beyond. By far the best tour guide we’ve had on all our trips to Hawaii. Just pleasant to be around and always accommodating and ready to answer any questions we had whether it by about Five 0 or just Hawaii in general. Hawaii Five 0 fans shouldn’t miss this tour,
Only downfall was not meeting Flippa.

After racing along the dirt paths of the jungle while explaining the surroundings and enjoying the vast scenery, it was a bit disappointing to feel increasingly deflated during the movie set tour and the visit to the farmer's living area. If we were going to explore similar spaces, it might have been better to have different experiences like horseback riding or cycling. I wish there had been clearer explanations of the activities during the booking phase.
ジャングルの土道を説明しながら疾駆し、広大な景色を満喫した後、映画撮影現場ツアー、農家の生活域への訪問と続いて、どんどん気持ち的に萎えてしまう様だったのが少々残念。同じ様な空間を回るのであれば、乗馬とかサイクリングとかの別形態の体験をした方が良かったかも知れないと、もう少し体験内容の事前説明を募集段階で判るようにしてあったらと思う。

This was an amazing tour. As long as you know how to ride a bike, you're going to be good. Since this is an eBike, you're not going to feel tired at the end of the trip. You can adjust the setting on the bike to either put more effort to ride it or just let the bike do all the hard work. You'll be given a dry bag which you can attach to the bike. This can fit your wallet and a small water bottle. The ranch had amazing views and all the film sets are a must see. Compared to ATVs, this ride is silent and you won't be covered in dust and dirt. I will definitely this tour again!
