The buggy experience is about a 40-minute bus ride from Waikiki, and you get to drive quite a bit. You can use your Japanese driver's license, and since it's an automatic, there's no need to worry! The local guides are friendly, and the breathtaking views in front of you are just like what you see in the movie Jurassic Park.
There are also tours that take you around the movie set, but I’m glad we chose this option as a family of three. You can switch drivers, so my eldest son took the wheel partway through. Since it takes up almost a full day, I recommend planning your schedule accordingly. I highly recommend it!
ワイキキからバスで40分くらいのエリアでのバギー体験で、結構ガッツリ運転します。日本の免許で大丈夫ですしオートマなので心配無用!
現地ガイドも気さくな方達で何より目の前に現れる絶景が映画ジュラシックパークで観たものそのもの。
映画セットを周るツアーもありますが、家族3人で参加したのですがこちらを選択して良かったです。
運転は交代も出来るので途中からは長男がハンドルを握りました。
日中を1日ほぼ使い切るのでそのつもりで予定立てると良いと思います。
オススメします。

Best experience I have ever had on an excursion. Our tour guide, Jackson, was the best! He was so helpful and extremely knowledgeable about the land and the conservation of it as well as all the movies filmed there along with dates and cast. For a huge movie buff that was an extra bonus for me. I thoroughly enjoyed this activity with my family. The two hour trek was great and wasn't too long. I loved that the tour provided bandanas, helmets, and goggles for all participants. Best trip ever!

I participated because I wanted to experience the great nature of Hawaii. I was a bit worried from past reviews that there might be little time to see the filming locations, but since I wasn't driving, I was able to enjoy it fully while riding! I recommend it for those who want to see many filming locations! Also, the hospitality of the staff who drove us was amazing; they drove over the bumpy roads like it was an attraction, and I was impressed the entire two hours. The shuttle bus was also on time, so even though it takes half a day, I think the cost-performance ratio is excellent!
ハワイの大自然を感じてみたくて参加しました。過去レビューから、ロケ地を見る時間が少ないのかなと少し心配でしたが、運転していなかったため乗りながらでも充分楽しめました!沢山のロケ地を見たい方にはおすすめです!また、ドライバーをしてくださったスタッフさんのホスピタリティが凄くて、でこぼこ道をアトラクションのように運転してくれてすごい!と思いっぱなしの2時間でした。送迎バスも遅延がなかったので、半日かかりますが時間のコスパは最高だと思います!

Best experience ever in Hawaii. Made me want to move to Oahu just to keep taking the excursion and will do again. The weather was perfect, even though it rained at the end!!! We brought headties to cover our hair and goggles and bandanas were provided!!! Jackson was our tour guide and his energy made it most enjoyable. His attitude about life and the confidence with which he spoke made us feel safe and would have stayed an additional hour if given the opportunity!!!

Driving a buggy in the wonderful nature of Hawaii was a lot of fun, something you can't experience in Japan. However, the roads are not only unpaved but also quite bumpy in all directions. There was a sign stating that the maximum speed limit is 20 km/h, but the instructor driving the lead buggy instructed us to maintain a distance of just 2 meters from the buggy in front. That instructor was comfortably driving at 30 km/h, making it difficult to keep up and I was worried about tipping over. The engine brake worked well, but the foot brake was quite weak, so I was also concerned about crashing into the buggy ahead. I enjoyed it more in the second half once I got used to it, but until then, I felt more anxious than anything else.
There were more people in shorts, so it didn't seem necessary to wear long pants. Occasionally, there were explanations in English, but I, not being good at it, couldn't understand at all. The scenery was amazing, so I recommend it for those who are confident in their driving skills.
ハワイの素晴らしい大自然の中で日本では経験できないバギー車を運転出来てとても楽しかった。ただし道は未舗装であるだけでなく、前後左右にかなり凸凹です。張り紙には最高速度は20km/hまでとの速度制限の記載があるのですが、先頭バギー車を運転する指導員からは、前を走るバギー車との車間を2メートルに詰めて走行するように指示されました。その指導者は平気で30km/hを出すので、付いていくのが大変で横転が心配でした。またエンジンブレーキは良く効くのですが、フットブレーキはかなり甘いので前のバギーへの追突も心配でした。後半は慣れたので楽しかったのですが、慣れるまでは不安の方が強かったです。
短パンの人の方が多かったので、長ズボンである必要はないようでした。
時々英語で説明がありますが、苦手な私は全く理解できませんでした。
景色は最高でしたので、運転に自信がある人にはお勧めします。

This is one of our favorite things my wife and I were able to do in Hawaii. We made a mistake while making our order, but they were very accommodating and helped us out. The captain and crew were extremely nice and helped set the tone for a good expedition. Quite a few families with kids went along, as well. The captain took time to spend with a young boy, giving him a treat that you could tell made the boy’s day. The trip gives you a great view of the bay, only improved by very a hospitable captain and crew. And we saw lots of turtles! We really appreciated the experience.

I participated in the zip line activity. I was disappointed that the voucher mentioned a Japanese explanation guide for the zip line, but it wasn't available. The instructor cheerfully explained everything using a mix of English and gestures, so I had no trouble understanding how to use the zip line. The zip line itself was exhilarating and a lot of fun! If I had to say something, I wish it had been a bit longer, and I was disappointed that I couldn't get good photos while flying on the zip line. Since you can only bring your phone during the zip line, it would be convenient to have an accessory to hang your phone around your neck. Also, I strongly recommend bringing a long-sleeved jacket because it gets quite cold at night.
ジップライン参加。バウチャーにはジップラインについての日本語説明ガイドがあるとのことだったがなかったのが残念でした。

There are almost only foreigners, but there is one staff member who speaks Japanese, so they will provide explanations. The horseback riding experience allows you to tour filming locations, enjoy views of the sea, and take in the mountains, making it very fulfilling. Even if it's your first time riding, there are explanation videos available in Japanese and other languages, so I think it will be easy to understand.
ほぼ外国人しかいないですが、現地に日本語を話せるスタッフが1人いるのでその方が説明してくださいます。乗馬体験はロケ地を巡ったり海をながめたり、山を、眺めたりでとても充実できます。乗馬が初めてでも日本語や他の言語の説明ビデオが用意されてるのでわかりやすいと思います。

I've visited Hawaii more than ten times, and this time I finally made it to Kualoa Ranch. The buggy ride was fun, and I was helped out when I forgot my driver's license. However, since my main purpose was to see the Lost filming locations and Jurassic Park, I wonder if I made the wrong choice. Still, it was enjoyable, and I do recommend it. Just be prepared that all the guidance is in English.

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。
