Oahu
My partner and I went on the ATV tour and had an amazing time!
The briefing and safety videos were quick and easy to understand.
Our tour guide - Kye, was so full of energy and told lots of jokes to keep the tour as entertaining as possible.
Kye really changed this experience from a 4star to a 5star experience!
The tour and driving itself was also amazing and the land and movie sets you see are stunning.
This tour is a must!!
Popular activities. Due to the weak yen (it was 150 yen to the dollar at the time!), I hesitated to book a rather expensive tour, but before I knew it, it was already fully booked. The feeling of high prices due to the weak yen only affects Japanese people; it doesn't matter to those from the mainland U.S.
The only available option was a morning tour at 8:30 that required going to the location on my own (with booking starting at 7:30). Since there was no point in hesitating, I made the reservation. I made my way to the location by myself. The tour itself takes about two hours to explore the canyon and other areas. The grandeur of the natural beauty is truly fulfilling. When we went, instead of a mask, we received a neck gaiter (more for preventing dust from getting into our mouths than for COVID-19 measures). It was stylish, printed with dinosaur designs. My son, who sat in the front seat (fifth grade), seemed to have a lot of fun and was in a state of excitement the whole time. This tour does not stop at movie filming locations, so if your goal is to visit filming sites, I think it would be better to sign up for a different tour.
人気のアクティビティティ。円安（行った当時は1ドル150円！）だったので、
かなり割高なツアーになってしまうので予約をためらっていたところ、あれよあれよと既に予約でいっぱい。円安で割高感あるのは日本人だけで、アメリカ本土の人とかは関係ないですしね、、、
で、空きがあったのが個人で現地まで行く朝一の8:30のツアーのみ。（予約受付時間は7時30分）。迷っていても仕方ないので予約をする。自力で現地まで行きましたよ。ツアー自体は、渓谷等を2時間かけて回るもの。壮大な自然美に心も満たされます。私たちが行った時は、マスクのプレゼントではなく、ネックゲイターでした（コロナ対策というより、埃が口に入ってくるのを防ぐ用）。恐竜の絵がプリントされたものでオシャレです。助手席に乗っていた息子（小５）は、かなり楽しかったようで、ずっと興奮状態でした。こちらのツアーは映画の撮影箇所には寄らないので、「映画の撮影地をめぐる」のが目的の方は、そちらの別のツアーを申し込んだ方が良いかとは思います。

First trip to the islands and the Kualoa Ranch was our favorite spot. We suggest the ATV Tour. Our guides were fun and the views were breath taking.
My kid absolutely enjoyed the ride. Place is scenic and guides are patient and courteous. Overall it is a nice experience.
My first buggy experience! It was so much fun to race through the magnificent scenery! I was very satisfied with the ample experience time! The staff were also entertaining and kind. The shops and dining areas are compact, so I think you can enjoy a leisurely time in just an hour.
初めてのバギー！壮大な景色の中をバギーで駆け抜ける体験が出来てすごく楽しかったです！

スタッフの方も面白くて親切でした。
お店や食べるところはコンパクトなので、1時間もあればゆっくり過ごせると思いました。

I had always wanted to go to the world of Jurassic World, and this was a dream experience!
Driving the buggy was really scary, but it was thrilling and amazing!!
The stunning Kualoa Ranch was very moving!
It was great to feel nature, which is completely different from Waikiki!
All the other participants were Americans on holiday, and many were very friendly; they even celebrated our honeymoon, creating a warm atmosphere!
The explanations were all in English (the initial safety briefing was shown in a separate Japanese video!), so I did my best to listen and was able to understand!
I took photos with the people I got close to, and it was a really fun time!!
大好きなジュラシックワールドの世界に行きたくて念願の体験でした！
バギーの運転はとても怖かったけどスリル満点で最高でした！！
圧巻のクアロアランチ！とても感動しました！
ワイキキとは全然違い自然を感じられてよかったです！
参加者は私たち以外全員ホリデーのアメリカの方でとても気さくな方が多くて、ハネムーンをお祝いしてくれてとてもあったかい空間でした！
説明は全て英語（最初の安全の注意は日本語ビデオを別で見せてもらいました！）なので頑張って聞いてところだから理解できました！
仲良くなった人と写真も撮ってとても楽しい時間になりました！！

Driving through the Kualoa Ranch was amazing! Driving the buggy was easy, similar to driving a golf cart, and I just needed to show my Japanese driver's license. The tour is primarily in English, but they provide a Japanese video beforehand. The guide's instructions were a bit difficult to follow. Since it's a buggy, there was a lot of dust, and I ended up really muddy from my face down to my pants.
実際に自分で運転して駆け抜けるクアロラランチ最高でした！
バギーの運転も日本の運転免許見せるくらいだったのと、ゴルフカートくらいの感覚で簡単でした。
ツアーは基本英語ですが、事前の日本語ビデオ見せてもらえます。ガイドさんの案内はリスニング難しかったです。
バギーなので砂埃が凄いので顔からスボンまで本当に泥だらけになります。

For about an hour, we just went around a muddy path.
The scenery was quite simple.
I would be satisfied if the price were about half...
約一時間、泥んこの道？をグルグル回るだけでした。
単純な風景ばかりでした。
半分くらいの料金なら納得ですが···

My wife and I went on this adventure while in Oahu on our honeymoon. We thought there would be multiple groups on our tour, and we were pleasantly surprised to find out it was only us and our guide. While the views, terrain, history, and overall experience was absolutely incredible, the game changer in this was our guide, Keoki. He was one of the most genuine, friendly, and passionate people that we have ever met. He went as to far as to welcome my wife and I into his Ohana and shared the meaning and importance of the "Aloha Spirit" with us, and truly made us feel welcome on not just the tour, but also on the island.
I cannot recommend this tour, or Keoki as a guide, enough. We had such a wonderful experience and will be back to see them next time we are on Oahu!
Mahola, Keoki! - Hunter
The guides were great the views are awesome! Guides help you through everything and make the tour even better
We spent the morning ATV riding. The guide was informative and made sure we had time on the trail to ask questions at our designated stops. What beautiful views and what a beautiful property. Certainly well taken care of and great example of sustainablility and steward of the land.
Wow just wow. Fast UTV, beautiful farm ground! Thank you
Don and Austin were perfect guides! Lots of fun, history, and current events. I'll be back!
It's been a few years since I visited Kualoa.
I participated in different activities each time.
The staff's guidance was excellent.
We were also blessed with good weather.
They took photos and videos at key moments,
which made for a great experience.
Thank you.
数年ぶりのクアロア

ありがとう。

This is fun for the family ,a must experience for the family trip in hawaii
The buggy activity was very satisfying! However, since it's an activity that requires a long time on the buggy, the time from arrival to participation and the time from the end until the return bus was a bit tight. There were other activities like horseback riding, but we didn't have time to eat lunch. We quickly looked at souvenirs, waited in a long line at the register, rushed to the restroom, and then headed back. The plan started at 12:15, but the morning gathering was at 10:15. Since we came to the resort, we chose a time that allowed us to relax in the morning. However, even though there were many places to explore, we had no time to wander around...
We got off the return bus around 5 PM. It takes an hour each way, so I wish the plan had a bit more flexibility or that we could choose the return bus time. It felt like a waste.
As for the driving, the staff told us to get closer quite a bit. We went on roads that a regular car could never handle. It was thrilling and fun to drive over bumps that felt like we might flip over if we turned the steering wheel the wrong way, and to navigate through muddy areas with uneven surfaces. However, there were also blind curves, and if the car in front had trouble, we could end up in a collision, or even if we managed to stop, someone could crash into us from behind! We were told to get that close, which was a bit nerve-wracking.
On top of that, even though it was a four-wheel drive buggy, it was set to two-wheel drive... The car in front was slipping on a gravel incline, with its rear wheels spinning for about three seconds. I was also drifting like in a rally. However, we were repeatedly warned that any damage to the vehicle would be the driver's responsibility, and if they deemed our driving dangerous or if we couldn't follow instructions, the staff would take over driving. So, if you try to maintain a safe distance, you might be told to switch drivers.
I think this should be communicated to the local staff rather than being treated like a tour. Also, we weren't taken to the Jurassic Park gate and the tree shown in the photos... Maybe it's under construction, or there are several courses, but it was disappointing.
バギーのアクティビティは大満足！
ですが、なかなか長時間バギーに乗れるアクティビティなので、
着いてから参加までと、終わってから帰りのバスまでの時間がややタイト。
乗馬とか他にも色々あったのに…
お昼を食べたりする時間はなく、ガーっとお土産見て、長時間並ぶレジを待ち、急いでトイレに寄って帰り、でした。
12:15スタートのプランだったのもありますが、朝の集合が10:15。
せっかくリゾートに来たので朝ゆっくりするとちょうど良い時間を選びました。
しかしながらお昼食べたり、色々ある場所なのに散策する時間もないとは…
帰りのバスを降りたのは17時頃。
片道1時間かかるのに、もうちょっと余裕を持ったプランか、帰りのバスの時間を選べるようにしてほしいなと思いました。なんかもったいない。
また、運転ですが、結構前に詰めろとスタッフに言われました。
普通車では到底走れないような道を行きます。
腹を擦りながら走るハンドル反対に切ったらひっくり返るんじゃないかというような起伏や、
左右の段差があるドロドロのぬかるみを走るのはとてもスリリングで楽しいのですが、
見通しの悪いカーブもあり、前の車がトラブったら追突したり、自分が止まれても後ろから突っ込まれるでしょ！？
という間隔まで詰めろと言われます笑
おまけに四駆のバギーなのに、設定されているのは二駆…
前の車も砂利の急こうばいで滑って後輪が3秒間くらい空転。
自分もドリフトラリー走行していました。
でも、車体へのダメージはドライバーの責任になるという注意事項を散々言われますし、
言われた通りできなかったり危険な運転だと判断したらスタッフが運転を変わると言われます。
なので、しっかり車間距離取ろうとすると、運転変われと言われるかもしれません。
ツアーというより、現地スタッフにこのこと伝えてほしいですね汗
あと、写真にあったジュラシックパークのゲートと木のところは連れて行ってもらえませんでした…
工事中とか、何コースかあるのかもですが。

This was a great tour and wonderful opportunity for photos! My boyfriend and I went to this tour and it's a good enough time for the price. You get to see various places where iconic scenes were filmed from Jurassic park and Godzilla. The scenery alone is enough to make me want to go back and take it all in. Good for couples and families while on vacation.
It felt like being inside a Jurassic movie!
The experience of racing through the magnificent nature in a buggy is unique to Kualoa Ranch.
Goggles and neck masks were also provided to avoid dust.
ジュラシックの映画の中にいるかのようでした！
バギーで壮大な自然を駆け巡る体験は、クアロアランチならではだと思います。
砂埃を避けるために、ゴーグルとネックマスクも配布されました。

The whole experience was amazing. The guides were friendly and helpful. they took their time to explained the whole process to us. We were brought to an ATV racetrack where we race with our fellow atvers. Then we were brought to this beautiful scenery spot to take pictures. Overall 10/10
This was such a fun experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable about Hawaii culture and the location history. We sat in the back of the jeep which was exciting and a very turbulent! We went into the experience excited about seeing movie sets (which we did and were super cool) but came out of it more amazed by the culture and views! Bonus: Lots of animal spotting's too!
The drive to the ranch is also beautiful. Driving up into the forest was so amazing the trees and the vegetation was so lush and beautiful. The mountain range is ahh inspiring. My wife and myself were pinching ourselves because we couldn’t believe what we were seeing. It was truly magnificent, if your on the fence let push and throw you off it. You need to see this location we had the best time on our ATV tour. The tour takes you across the ranch with stops along the way to take in the incredible views and some history, traditions including how the ranch came to be and movie and tv history. There were so many tours available including horseback riding tour, zip lines, ebike tour, bus tours to movie and tv sites. We had a quick bite in the visitors center before we jumped back on the bus to head back to our hotel. (I noticed at the last minute, I accidentally reserved a tour to the Ranch “without transportation” and I contacted Veltra and they quickly adjusted my to tour include transportation thank you Veltra)
Went ATV riding with a group of friends and we had a blast. The staff at the farm were were extremely nice and attentive to all of our needs. The farm had lots of cute and friendly approachable animals that you could feed. The equipment was easy to use and in good shape. I strongly recommend this place.
This is a great experience! All my friends, my husband and I had an unforgettable experience! The staffs are nice and sweet! The view at the destination and the animals are the bonus points!
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!
