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。

I was able to enjoy a two-hour horseback ride while taking in the vast and stunning scenery. The horses were well-trained and moved almost on their own. Rather than focusing on riding, it felt more like sitting on a horse and admiring the views. The guide's explanations were in English, so I didn't understand everything, but the landscapes reminded me of movie scenes, and I couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!" It was a horseback riding-only course, so I had plenty of time to shop and eat during the transfer, which was nice and relaxing. The souvenirs were also cheaper and more interesting than those in Waikiki, which was another plus. I even got to talk with Brian, who appeared in the Hawaii Tourism Authority's introduction to Kualoa Ranch, which made the experience even better.
なんといってもスケールの大きな風景を見ながら、たっぷり2時間乗馬できました。馬もよく調教されていて、ほぼ何もしなくても動いてくれます。その分、乗馬を楽しむというよりも、馬に乗って景色を眺めるという感じ。ガイド説明は英語なので、よくわかりませんでしたが、映画の風景がよみがえり「おー!」と思わず声が出てしまいます。乗馬だけのコースだったので、送迎時間の間に買物、食事もできてゆったりできてよかったです。土産物もワイキキよりも安くて面白いものがあって、こりゃまたよかったです。ハワイ州観光局でクアロア牧場の紹介に出演していたBrianさんともお話しできて、さらによかったです。

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!!

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。

This was our family’s first ever experience, snorkeling. We did not use the transportation, but drove ourselves. Parking was easy. The check-in process was smooth and on time. The crew was friendly, professional, and extremely entertaining. Sandbar volleyball was a lot of fun and lunch was delicious. We saw so many sea turtles on our way to the reef. We are beginners and the reef size was perfect for us to go all the way around and see lots of fish and turtles. This was a wonderful experience for our first trip to Hawaii and we would definitely recommend.

It was a wonderful experience, just like the images suggest, or even better. The course is based on an English guide, but the female guide was very energetic and cute, and she warmly engaged with everyone, regardless of whether they were Japanese or not. If you're at the back of the line, it might be a bit hard to hear her, but she explains things as you go along.
The views of the mountains and sea, which you can't see in Japan, made the two hours fly by. I was really surprised at how smart the horses were. I had a strap around my neck for my smartphone, so I didn't have to worry about dropping it while taking plenty of photos. Photos are allowed, but videos are not. If you're going, I highly recommend the two-hour course.
イメージ写真の通りか、それ以上に素晴らしい体験でした。
英語ガイド前提のコースですが、ガイドの女性はとても元気で可愛くて、日本人、日本人以外にかかわらず明るく声を掛けてくれます。列の後ろの方だと少し声が届きづらいかもしれませんが、ポイントごとに説明をしながら進みます。
日本では見ることのできない山や海の景色であっという間の2時間。とにかく馬が賢くて驚きました。スマホは首からかけられるストラップを付けていたので、途中馬から落とす心配がなく思う存分写真が撮れました。写真OK、動画NGです。せっかく行くなら2時間コースがおすすめです。

I was very healed by horseback riding while enjoying the great nature of Kualoa Ranch! The instructor guided us while explaining the history of Kualoa Ranch. The instructor was very attentive, checking occasionally if the length of the stirrups was okay, asking how I was feeling, and if I was tired! They also took photos for us! It was a 2-hour course, but it felt very long and was a satisfying tour!

The check in and out process were quick and smooth as long as you have reservation. You can pay by card too.
You can rent out the kayaks and snorkeling gear on site.
Debriefing session is nice and short and they give you a map and show you the best spots to snorkel and sandbar.
The only hard thing is that it is hard to determine where the snorkeling parts were at even with the map. Once you are at sea, its hard to find landmarks. Adding landmarks would be helpful. The sandbar was so nice!
Aloha Lance! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure, and thank you for taking the time to leave this review and feedback for us. We really appreciate that. Looks like you had a beautiful day at the sandbar. That's great. Hope to see you again soon. Mahalo!

The tour was a small group of four people, my wife and I along with another Japanese couple, and our guide. It was my first experience riding a horse, and at first, I was scared and anxious until I got used to it. But after about 30 minutes, it became fun, and the horse was so well-behaved that I felt safe riding! The magnificent views of Kualoa and the ocean were breathtaking, and the breeze was pleasant. I highly recommend it over a bus tour!!! The only downside was that, since there were only Japanese people, there was no announcement about this area being a filming location for Jurassic Park... I wish there had been some explanation in English...

The list of places to visit is nicely curated and I think we had enough time to walk around each site, take photos, and even buy souvenirs. Our guide, Jojo, was fantastic. He had too many stories to tell to keep us entertained and was very knowledgeable about Hawaii's culture, history, and ecology.
The only downside of this tour was that you are on a large bus so, if you are picked up last and have a seat at the back of the bus, you're going to spend a lot of time going on and off. However, Jojo knew that this might be frustrating and started counting time right after the last person was out.
The bus was clean and the lunch was ok.
Thank you so much for your kind comments, we will be sure to forward them to your guide... : )))
