Oahu
This was me and my husband's first time riding an ATV, they do not throw you out there without training on how to ride the atv. They slowly start you off with a guide to make sure that you are safe to ride on your own. Then the exhilarating fun begins with screaming and a burst of zeal to finish the circle trail. This was a lot of fun and I recommend almost all ages to go. Also they take you by the ocean to ride as well as the trail. Oh I almost forgot!!! They have cool animals if you like to pet and feed them.
This tour was awesome, learned a lot during the tour about conservation and Hawaiian native plants. We got to off road quite a lot which I really enjoyed and also sight seeing throughout the tour which is great. Would highly recommend!
We had a blast ATV-ing at North shore stables! While you wait to get started they have a small petting zoo with goats, a pig, tortoise; and puppies which was a nice surprise. You can feed them as well. The view was gorgeous of the mountains and ocean. The staff was very nice and friendly. They have a track where you can go fast as well.
Riding the atv is harder for people with weak arms as I am BUT we had a lot of fun especially when driving in the rally without speed limit ( you won’t be able to drive too fast of course with the bumps) and the boys enjoyed it so much! The part I like the most is when we got to the ocean side and see the breathtaking view there. Our tour guides also offered to take photos for us which was so nice. Plus there are a lot of farm animals in the ranch and you got to feed them if you like. Puppies and lambs are sooo cute!! Recommend it!!
My bf and I were looking to book an ATV experience and we were so glad we chose to do one at North Shore Stables!
We got there at exactly 9a. Our experience was scheduled for 9:45a. We filled out a liability waiver and got to hang out with the animals at the petting area. Before we started the experience, we were given a face mask (breathable ski mask essentially), a helmet and sunglasses for eye protection.
Then we were led to the ATV course. We had a guide leading the way and another guide behind us. I felt completely safe and the guides (Kai and Dawn) were so nice and helpful! There was another couple in our group so a total of 4 of us plus 2 guides. I loved that the group was small and we had enough time to go around the course a number of times. Afterwards, we went to the beach where Dawn took a bunch of photos for us. It was great! I can’t recommend this experience enough!!
You can also take horse riding lessons and go on a horse riding tour at North Shore Stables as well! We will have to check that out next time!
Did the ATV tour at North Shore Stables and had a blast! They provided helmets, goggles, and boots. There's a rally area you can get some nice speed on with the ATVs - and some mud :) The guides were very nice and friendly, we dropped by an area to take photos along the coastline, and afterwards you can also see the farm animals! Overall a great time and highly recommend.
We enjoyed it very much! ATV was fun, we got to ride around the farm and then speed through the rally course afterwards! We did a ton of laps! The land was beautiful and also really enjoyed petting the baby goats afterwards. Good for families, couples, and friends!
Larger ATV the whole famliy can fit in! We loved the grounds of Kualoa Ranch
It seems to be a popular activity, and even with a reservation made two weeks in advance, I couldn't get a morning start and had to book for after 1 PM. On the way to the location from the meeting point, there was heavy rain. By the time we arrived, it was just light rain. Luckily, the rain stopped before we departed.
Around lunchtime, there was a long line for ordering food, and I was worried about making it in time for my scheduled participation. It was the right decision to line up quickly after arriving. Before departure, we received a briefing and had our licenses checked. A Japanese driver's license is acceptable; an international driver's license is not necessary.
Finally, we set off. I had to chase after the car in front of me on the bumpy road, gripping the steering wheel tightly, which was tiring. I didn't feel much of a sense of exhilaration. At a rest stop along the way, there was an explanation related to movie shooting scenes, but I had only seen Jurassic Park and was completely lost.
It could have been a hassle if it had rained, but since the rain had stopped, there was little mud splatter and hardly any dirt. The leader at the front and the cheerful woman at the back were both very experienced. They talked a lot, but their fast pace made it hard to understand—about one-third of what they said. By the way, I have a TOEIC score of over 800.
The return bus time was predetermined, and we had to wait for about two hours. There were no souvenirs I wanted, so I just waited. It seemed that many people had come by car. I overheard a participant in the horseback riding course say, "I didn't think it would be this much fun" (in Japanese), which made me slightly regret not choosing that option.
人気があるアクティビティのようで、2週間前の予約でも午前スタートは取れず、午後13時過ぎの予約に。
集合場所から現地に向かう途中に激しい雨。到着時は小雨程度。出発時は雨が上がりラッキー。
お昼前後は昼食注文の長蛇の列で参加時刻に間に合うか、気を揉んだ。到着後、速やかに並ぶのが正解。
出発前に事前説明を受け、免許証の確認。日本の免許証でOK。国際免許証は不要。
いざ出発。前の車に後れないようにでこぼこ道を懸命に追いかける。ハンドルを目一杯握るので疲れる。爽快感はさほど感じなかった。
途中の休憩スポットで映画の撮影シーンと絡めた説明があるが、ジュラシックパーク以外は観ておらず、チンプンカンプン。
雨が降っていたら大変だったかも。雨が上がっていたので、泥ハネ少なく殆ど汚れなし。
先頭のリーダーと最後を見守るのは経験十分な陽気な女性二人。沢山喋ってくれるが早口で理解度1／3。因みに当方はTOEIC800以上。
帰りのバス時刻は予め指定されており、待つこと2時間ほど。欲しい土産物もなくただ待つのみ。乗用車で来た人が多いようです。
乗馬コース参加者が、「こんなに楽しいとは思わなかった」（日本語）と言っているのを小耳にはさんだので、「そちらにするんだった」とやや後悔。

I experienced this three years ago and had so much fun that I decided to try it again. There were no single-person buggies available, only the six-person ones, but I still enjoyed the long journey with the beautiful scenery and thrills. The staff seemed to be making an effort to entertain us. As expected, there were few Japanese people, so a certain level of language skills was necessary! I relied on Pocketalk. I would love to go again if single-person buggies are available again.
3年前に体験して凄く楽しかったので再びチャレンジ 1人用のバギーはなくて6人乗りのみでしたが、それでも長い長い道のりで景色やスリルが楽しめました。スタッフさんも楽しませようと頑張っている感じでした さすがに日本人は少なくある程度の語学力が必要でした！私はポケトークのお世話になりました。 又1人用バギーが再開されたら行きたいですね

Our tour guides were great especially Matt. He was friendly and personable. Kildra was great too but more on the serious side. I understand however that it comes with the territory as you need to move along quickly and safely without trying to make it seem so. They made a good team.
My boys loved the excursion and it was the perfect opportunity for us to bond. We appreciate the opportunity to be on the sacred grounds. We also appreciate the knowledge that was fed to us about the importance of this area, along with the cool movie stuff.
Only down fall, my wife and and found out the previous night we are expecting a child and she wasn’t able to join us. We already paid and when I explained this to the checkin desk, they didn’t care. I understand if I was canceling the day off to not be reimbursed, however in this situation/circumstance we could have been offered our money back for one ticket.
Overall great time,
Thank you!
Amazing tour. So much fun. The people who work there are so friendly and fun. Definitely want to go back.
It's an exciting place for movie fans just because it's a filming location for things like Jurassic Park! Furthermore, riding a buggy through the magnificent ranch was amazing!! There were times when we climbed mountains and encountered bumpy roads, which was scary at first, but I had a lot of fun!!!! However, be careful not to wear white clothes because the dust is intense.
ジュラシックパークなどのロケ地というだけでも映画ファンにはとても興奮して楽しめる場所です！さらに、壮大な牧場をバギーで走るのは最高でした！！途中に山を登ったり、デコボコ道があったりとしましたが、最初は怖かったですが、とても楽しめました！！！！ただし、砂ぼこりがすごいので白い服は着て行かないように。

Had a great experience attending ATV tour. It’s the best way to explore the Kualoa Ranch. Total 3 stops: one at The Valley, second at the Jurassic Park filing location, third location you can overlooking The Hat island. Will attend again next time visit Oahu.
We like this activity so much! Awesome views and lots of film site. Having fun when driving the ATV. But recommend to do this activity in the morning, it is too hot afternoon.
.
This was an awesome ride- the ATVs are more so UTV, but the grounds are unbeatable.
We has the most amazing time. The atvs are awesome. The guides are awesome. The history and views are amazing. It was the funnest time we have had in a long time 10 out 10 easy ! Enjoy every minute if you go.
Great tour guide. Informative and amazing scenery. Only downside is the tour description wasn't very clear and it actually doesn't go through the valley. We ended up doing the movie sites tour after the jungle tour because we were so disappointed and didn't want to leave before going through the valley.
This was my first time participating in the Kualoa Ranch tour. Riding through the mountain roads in a jeep for two hours, even while getting soaked from the rain, was a lot of fun.
Since we drove through muddy paths, my shoes ended up covered in mud. I recommend wearing clothes that can be washed.
I arranged for round-trip bus transportation, but I forgot that an English ID was required. They allowed me to use my credit card name and Japanese driver's license instead. Please don't forget this, everyone.
The tour mainly visited filming locations from Jurassic Park, and the male guide was very cheerful and engaging. However, the tour did not include the filming locations I wanted to see, like King Kong and some parts of Jurassic Park, so I would like to go on the Hollywood movie tour next time.
初めて参加したクアロアランチのツアーでした。ジープで2時間、雨が降っていたのもありびしょびしょになりながら山道を走るのはとても楽しかったです。
どろんこ道を走るので、靴は泥だらけになりました。洗える服で行くことをおすすめします。
往復バスで送迎をつけたのですが、英語のIDが必要なのを忘れてしまい、クレジットカードの名前と日本の免許でゆるしてくれました。皆様はお忘れなきように。
ツアーで巡ったのは主にジュラシックパークの撮影場所でしたが、ガイドの男性はとても明るく盛り上げ上手でした。
行きたかったキングコングの撮影場所や、ジュラシックパークの撮影の一部はこのツアーでは行かないので、次回はハリウッド映画ツアーに行きたいです。

The Atvs are kept up with and the course was great filled with fun
It was a great experience, loved the short rain. Kids had fun.
Great visit from start to finish. Once in a lifetime views and professional tour guides. We took 915am tour and it was just after a light rain had stopped, so there was minimal dust. As we were returning to starting point, it was beginning to get warm and the dirt roads beginning to get dusty. I understand that on dry days the roads get pretty dusty and in turn you get fairly dirty, so bring or prepare to buy in the gift shop a clean shirt at least if you plan on going elsewhere afterwards or just want to change out of a dirty sweaty shirt for the ride home.
The only negative was, that although I seen them wiping down the helmets, the insides are still dirty. So if your any kind of germ-a-phobe; you would want to bring a baseball cap or some type of thin head-cover to put on first to go on under your helmet. Helmets are for top of head, as luckily they don’t cover your ears.
On the other hand if your “normal”, be wild and free and just wear the helmet and carry on.
Roads are dirt as you would imagine, so be prepared for a somewhat, but not extremely bumpy ride.
Stops are made for picture taking and guides give some insight as to the history and lore of the areas where you stop to take pics and/or switch drivers. Have fun. Definitely worth the money for all ages.
The views were spectacular!! Matt and Pablo, our tour guides, were so much fun!! This is by far one of the best tours my family has ever taken in Oahu! Will definitely come back!!!
Our guide was phenomenal!! Really felt like ohana! Beautiful scenery and learned lots about the history! Even stopped at a gorgeous campground with fantastic views! Make sure you bring some glasses, you will get VERY dirty everywhere!
I made a reservation about a week before traveling to the United States, but it seems to be a popular activity, and the desired morning time was fully booked, so I opted for an available afternoon slot. The sand was quite intense, and my whole family ended up covered in sand from head to toe, but we had a great time. Next time, I would like to try horseback riding.
渡米1週間前くらいに予約しましたが、人気のあるアクティビティらしく、午前中の希望する時間が空いてなく、午後の空いてる時間にしました。砂煙がすごいため、家族全員、顔から洋服全体が砂まみれになってしまいましたが、とても楽しめました。今度は乗馬してみたいです。

Our guide was the nicest and most welcoming guide with a good sense of humor. He also took so many photos and videos of us along the way and AirDropped them to us afterwards without anyone even asking him too. Also the ATV riding was awesome and everybody needs to make sure they take a turn to drive. Just don’t be like my wife and wear a white tee if you ever expect to wear it white again as the red dirt will do a number on it. 100% we will be doing this again next time we are in Hawaii and will recommend this to everyone.
This adventure is one for the memory books!! We had an incredible time throughout the tour. Our guide was extremely friendly, which helped make the experience top notch. Photos are taken and provided without additional cost from your ride. 10/10 would highly recommend!
Will do again when we visit the islands again.
It was myself and my 17 and 16 year old sons. The tour guides on the trail at the ranch were really nice and informative. So cool to ride through the ranch, up the mountain and overlook the water. Beauty every where you looked. Also, the scenes were movies were filmed was fun to see.
You do get dirty - it was very dry when we went so lots of dust. If it’s wet I image you’re covered in mud. They give you goggles and buffs to cover your nose and mouth. You need them! Another reviewer suggested to bring wipes to wash your face afterwards- solid advice. We did that to get some of the dirt off our faces. Plenty more came off in the shower. Haha
The bus to/ from was comfortable and clean. Only not so great thing I can say is there was a very long wait time from when we arrived at the ranch until our scheduled tour started. Had I known that I maybe would have rented a car and drove up on our own. Price would have been Equivalent, and plenty of other places to stop in along the way. All in all it was a great adventure and I definitely recommend it!
This was so much fun!!! You definitely get super dirty but it is so worth it! You get to see so much of the ranch and the different valleys! We had Jessica as one of our tour guides and she was awesome! She did a lot of fun things with the group to make the experience more fun! If you love Jurassic World, you will love being able to see some cool things from the movie. Definitely a fantastic experience!
I had a good time with my family. The people running it were friendly. The park is beautiful.
