Our guides, Meeks, Val and Jordie were all charismatic and fun while making sure we were safe. We did a total of 7 zip lines, each a little longer than the last with some cool activities in between. And we loved every second of it! You also get a nice ride to base camp and a chance to see some of the landmarks throughout Kualoa Ranch. I would definitely recommend!!

It was an amazing experience for me and my kid.
Everything ran smoothly -- from the hotel pick up to the drop off.
The orientation was a good way to detail important instructions.
The Kualoa Ranch is so breathtaking that even down times were utilized to just explore.
The tour guide was hilarious, entertaining, and informative. Also helpful whenever we needed photo ops.

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。

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.

We participated in our first horseback riding experience as a couple over the age of 60. The explanations were in English and completely confusing! (The video was in Japanese, so that was fine.) There was a Japanese person in the same group who was fluent in English, which was a great help. The horse I rode was very smart and it was wonderful. My husband's horse kept stopping to eat grass from the beginning to the end, which made it quite challenging. It was our first experience, but we were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature and create great memories.
P.S. The girl who was our guide was always attentive, very kind, and adorable. Thank you for your care.
還暦を過ぎた夫婦で初の乗馬体験に参加しました。説明が英語でチンプンカンプン!(ビデオは日本語なのでOK)同じグループに日本人の方がいらして英語が堪能な方だったので助かりました。私が乗ったお馬さんがお利口でとても良かったです。主人のお馬さんは最初から最後まで何度も草を食べ立ち止まる事が多く手こずっていました。初めての体験でしたが、大自然の景色を見ながら楽しむ事ができ良い思い出ができました。

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)

First of all the bus that picked us up was old and need some works done. A 45 minute drive turned into a 11/2 hour drive. We picked the sand bar as my husband and I both can’t swim. I was pleased that we got to do some snorkeling together. We did see some turtles as well.
Then it was the deeper sea snorkeling. I was so afraid of the deep sea. So we ended up waiting in the boat for over an hour.
There are actually a few coaches on the boat. If they would Guide us through that would be a lot easier.
We just felt left out from the whole group.

I went with my husband for this kayaking adventure. We are both very new to this so it was a bit hard at first. I think the hardest thing was understanding the map. However after a while it was great. The only down side is that is was windy and going back did take it out of us. However we did have so much fun at the sand bar. We weren’t able to go snorkeling because we we’re going to run out of time. So buy the 8 hours. It’s worth it
Aloha Val! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayaking adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave this awesome review for us. We really appreciate that. Kayaking in the ocean can certainly be a workout because of the wind and current, and the sandbar is the farthest paddle, so it's great that you made it out there and it looks like you had a beautiful day for it. Stoked to hear it was a good kayaking experience and hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
