Une expérience inoubliable.
Une journée belle et fantastique.

Merci

Tour guide was the best so much fun can’t wait to go again

The Jurassic Valley Ranch ATV was a great experience and the staff was knowledgable and very informative. I would highly recommend this tour! Thank for a great time!

Had a wonderful time. The excursion was great! Everybody was very helpful. We appreciated the bar service. Lots of fun!

My family of 4 persons enjoyed this attraction very much. I recommend to anybody who reads this message that you guys need to go with this attraction.

It was refreshing to race through while enjoying the beautiful scenery in a buggy. There were also times when a herd of wild cattle crossed our path.

バギーで素敵な景色を見ながら走り抜けるのが爽快でした。
野生の牛の群れが横切ったりするこもありました。

The experience of riding while exploring the natural mountains and sea was truly amazing! The scenery changes in various ways, which was moving! I was completely satisfied with the full two hours! Although I did get a bit of muscle soreness, haha.

乗馬しながら自然の山や海を回れる体験は本当に最高でした！
景色も色々変わるので感動です！
2時間たっぷりで満足です！
ただ少し筋肉痛になります笑

My first experience at Kualoa Ranch!
My companions wanted to do activities like buggies! They love Jurassic Park! I personally love Jumanji! I love nature! So, we started our buggy experience in the heavy rain☆
After the explanation in English, there was also a proper explanation in Japanese◎
After the buggy experience, we were able to enjoy our souvenirs and lunch at a leisurely pace♪
Although the weather was unfortunate, it meant there was no dust flying around, and we got to see the fantastic scenery of sun and rain, along with a rainbow, so it was great☆

クアロア・ランチ初体験！
同行者たちがバギーなどアクティビティがやりたい！ジュラシックパークが好き！私自身はジュマンジが好き！大自然が好き！って事で大雨のバギー体験スタートです☆
英語での説明の後、ちゃんと日本語での説明がありました◎
バギー体験後、お土産もランチもゆっくり楽しめました♪
あいにくのお天気でしたがその分埃が舞うこともなく太陽と雨の幻想的な景色や虹も見れたので良かったです☆

I participated in a 2-hour buggy ride. Wearing a helmet is mandatory. Goggles and masks are provided. It's up to you whether to use them, but since you'll get covered in dust, I chose to wear them. The scenery is magnificent. They take you to filming locations from Jurassic Park and Jumanji. I think you can enjoy it even if you don't know the movies. You'll return to Honolulu around 2:00 PM.

2時間バギーに参加しました。
ヘルメットの着用が必須です。ゴーグルとマスクも渡されます。使用するかは自由ですが砂埃まみれになるので私は使用しました。
景色は壮大です。ジュラシックパークやジュマンジのロケ地に連れて行ってくれます。映画を知らなくても十分楽しめると思います。ホノルル帰着は14:00くらいです。

There was a Japanese video explanation beforehand, so even if you're anxious about your English skills, you can participate with peace of mind. The horses were very gentle, and it was no problem at all even for those with no riding experience. The magnificent scenery surrounded by the sea and mountains was truly breathtaking, and I was able to fully appreciate Kualoa Ranch. After horseback riding, there was a bit of a wait for the shuttle bus back, but there were souvenir shops, restaurants, and a plaza, so I didn't have to worry about having too much free time. Additionally, the availability of paid lockers that you can access freely was convenient and helpful. The staff were all very kind, and I had a great experience.

事前に日本語のビデオ説明があり、英語が不安でも安心して参加できます。
馬はとても大人しく、乗馬経験がまったくなくても問題ありませんでした。
海と山に囲まれた雄大な景色は本当に圧巻で、クアロアランチを存分に感じられました。
乗馬後は、帰りの便のシャトルバスまで少し待ち時間がありましたが、お土産物屋さんや飲食店、広場があるので時間を持て余すことはありませんでした。
また、取り出し自由な有料のコインロッカーが用意されているのも便利で助かりました。
スタッフの方は皆さんとても親切で、良い経験ができました。

Satomi and her group had an amazing time, and the live music on the boat was wonderful! It was a bit cold, but we could do as much snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking as we wanted! The fish were so big that it was a little intimidating. Seeing the black, fast sea turtles in person was like being in heaven.

サトミさん御一行が最高に楽しくて、船の生演奏も素敵！少し寒かったけど、シュノーケリングのサップもカヤックもやり放題！魚はデカすぎてちょっとビビります。黒くて早い海亀も生で見れて天国でした。

I had some experience with horseback riding, but due to physical limitations, I hadn't ridden for a while. Most riding clubs in Japan follow the British style, but trail riding is done in the American style, so there are differences in handling the reins and saddle. In a group, we only walked in a line and couldn't run, but on the other hand, it was more than enough to enjoy touching the horses and experiencing the grandeur of nature. The horses are calm and obedient, so even beginners can take photos with their smartphones using one hand. If anything happens, the accompanying guide quickly comes to assist and provide instruction, which is reassuring. The mountain paths have some ups and downs, but the horses are used to it. I thought we would be able to walk along the coast, but instead, we walked along a road that overlooked the coastline, which felt nice in its own way. If you're not used to it, your position on the saddle can shift, so it's important to pay attention to your balance on both sides to ride well. Finally, I thanked the horse that carried me and patted it in appreciation.

乗馬の経験はありましたが、身体のハンデでしばらく乗っていませんでした、日本の乗馬クラブはほとんどブリティシュスタイルですが外乗乗馬はアメリカンスタイルなの　で鞍手綱さばきに違いがありグループで隊列で歩くのみで走ることはできません、逆に馬に触れ自然の雄大さを満喫して楽しむには十分以上です、馬も大人しく従順なので初乗馬でも片手でスマホ撮影できます、何かあれば同道のガイドさんがすぐ駆けつけ指導してくれるので安心です。山道は多少起伏がありますが馬は慣れたものです、海は海岸沿いを歩けるかとおもいきや海沿いの道を通るだけで眼下に海岸を見下ろして歩きますそれはそれで気持ち良し。慣れないとお尻の位置が鞍からずれてくるので常に左右のバランスには注意すると上手く乗れます。最後乗せてくれた馬にお礼を言い撫ぜて感謝しました。

The weather was bad, but that actually turned out to be a good thing. It rained a little, and since the ground was wet, there was no dust being kicked up, which I was worried about because of the reviews mentioning getting muddy, but that didn't happen. My son, who was driving, was happy about it. However, it was all in English without any interpretation, so I couldn't understand anything, which was disappointing. If there had been a Japanese interpreter, I would have enjoyed it much more.

天気は悪かったのですが、それがむしろ良かったです。少し雨が降り、地面が、湿っていたので、ホコリが巻き上がらず、泥だらけになる、の口コミにびびってましたが、それはなかったです。運転した息子が、喜んでました。ただ通訳がなく、全て英語だったので全く分からず残念でした。日本語通訳があればもっと楽しめました。

Driving a buggy through nature!
I signed up for this tour for a trip with my 67-year-old mother! I was a bit anxious about driving, so we opted for a driver, but it seemed like I could have driven myself! We drove through nature at about 20 kilometers per hour and were guided to locations that were used as filming sites for movies, and they also took wonderful photos for us!
They provided explanations at various points, but it was in English, so I couldn't understand anything... I think I would have enjoyed it more if I understood English.

The facility has places to grab light snacks, a restaurant, and a souvenir corner.
Next time, I want to go for a walk in nature on horseback!

大自然の中をバギーでドライブ！
67歳の母とのふたり旅で、こちらのツアーに申し込みました！運転は不安でしたのでドライバー付にしましたが、運転出来そうな感じでした！自然の中を時速20キロ程度で走行し映画のロケ地になった所などへ案内してもらえ、素敵な写真も撮影してくれます！
所々で説明もしてくれますが、英語でしたので、全く解らず…英語がわかればもっと楽しめたと思います。

施設には軽食が取れる場所やレストラン、お土産コーナーもあります。
次は馬に乗って自然の中をお散歩したい！と思いました。

The tour wasn't bad, but it wasn't as fantastic as I had hoped for. "Lunch" was a simple sandwich and a pack of chips that left us hungry. The sandbar was beautiful but snorkeling was underwhelming.

The catamaran ride offered beautiful views, and the Hawaiian fishpond tour was educational.

The Kualoa Ranch Movie Sites Tour was a fun and fascinating experience and well paced!

Riding through the lush landscapes and famous movie sites was unforgettable

This ATV tour at Kualoa Ranch was an absolute highlight - scenery incredible and riding through it on an ATV made the experience even more exciting.

The horse is well-trained, so you can ride it right away even if it's your first time. At first, we go along a path in the woods, but after a while, we come out into an open grassland. I guess this is the filming location for the movie. Once you get here, the scenery is fantastic. The horse is very gentle, so I was a bit nervous at first, but I quickly got used to it and had a wonderful experience. The hamburger was delicious.

人馴れした馬なので、初めてでもすぐに乗れます。
最初は林の中の道を進みますが、しばらくすると開けた草原に出ます。
ここが映画のロケ地ってことでしょうか。
ここまで来れば景色も最高になります。
とてもおとなしい馬なので、最初は少し緊張しますがすぐに慣れて、とても良い体験ができました。
ハンバーガーは美味しかったです。

Crews are so friendly, music is great, sandwiches are delicious, everything is good except the cloudy weather, so definitely gonna book again when the weather is nice

We brought our family of 3 on this excursion. For reference our kids are 11,9 and 6. They had alot of keep the entertained. Paddle boarding, kayak, snorkeling and snacks. As well as a bathroom on board their boat. The boat was nice and clean! It was a fun excursion that took about half of the day with travel time from our resort at the Aulani. Defintely worth our time! The weather was nice and sunny on the day we went so it was nice to relax on their floating raft.

I had seen all the Jurassic World movies, so the atmosphere and scenes from the films came back to life, and I was really excited.

ジェラシックワールドの映画すべて見てたので、その世界観&映画のシ-ンがよみがえってとてもワクワクしました。

I participated in a tour that required meeting at the location. The check-in at the ticket center went smoothly, but the meeting place was not the visitor center as indicated on the Veltra website and the voucher. Specifically, there was a separate reception for the buggies, and we had to gather there. Once we gathered, the departure time for the buggies was set, and we received a tour briefing (in English) along with the rental of helmets and goggles. We arrived at the location by rental car and planned to have lunch at the visitor center before joining the tour, but we were unaware of these arrangements, so we had to rush through lunch to participate. While I was satisfied with the content of the tour, I felt that Veltra's guidance was unhelpful. There are other tours like horseback riding, so there might be some confusion about the meeting places, but I believe Veltra should take responsibility for confirming that the information is accurate.

現地集合のツアーで参加しました
チケットセンターでチェックインまではスムーズにできましたが、その後の集合場所はベルトラのHPとバウチャーの案内にあったビジターセンターではありませんでした。具体的には、チケットセンターとは別にバギーの受付があり、そこに集合するとバギーの出発組と時間が決まり、その時間までにツアーの説明（英語）やヘルメット・ゴーグルの貸出を受けます。私たちはレンタカーで現地到着後、ビジターセンターで昼食を済ませてからツアーに参加しようと考えていましたが、それらの段取りが分からなかったので慌ただしく昼食を済ませて参加せざるを得ませんでした。ツアーの内容には満足ですが、ベルトラの案内は不親切だと思いました。乗馬など他のツアーもあるので集合場所を混同しているかもしれませんが、案内が合っているかの確認はベルトラが責任を持って行うべきだと思います。

I had a wonderful time on my ride along. I felt like I had a personal tour guide. Sheldon was not only knowledgeable but really funny too. He told us on myths and legends of the island while teaching us various aspects of Hawaiian culture and language. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

You can see stunning views of the sea and mountains. Riding a horse can be challenging until you get used to it, but this breathtaking scenery is something you can't see anywhere else. The horses are smart, and the female staff were kind as well. It's okay if your English isn't perfect.

海と山の絶景が見れます。馬に乗るので慣れるまで大変だけど、この絶景はここじゃなと見れないかな。馬はお利口です。スタッフの女性も優しかったですよ。英語はそこそこでも大丈夫で

I’ve been on various snorkeling tour options before, but this one was quite disappointing for the price. There was no thorough explanation, just “do as you like.” The cold weather was unavoidable, but everyone felt cold on the boat. In the end, they managed to serve us tea, but it was too late; many were already shivering. I wish they would consider the situation a bit more at those moments.

今まで色々のシュノーケルのオプションツアー行ったけど結構値段の割には残念
好きなようにって全然丁寧な説明なしで
寒かったのは天候で仕方なかったけど船の中でみんな寒いって感じで最後なんとかお茶出してくれたけど遅い結構みんな震えてたもう少しその時その時考えてほしい

We had a great time on the movie tour and delicious lunch and a beautiful catamaran ride seeing some turtles

I absolutely loved the Hawaiian singers on this tour. It was the highlight of my tour and my whole trip. Lived the Guava jelly song.

The morning was quite challenging. I didn't read the voucher carefully, and the meeting place was not at the hotel where I was staying, but about a 7-minute walk away.

Since I arrived 15 minutes early, I was able to make it to the correct meeting place on time. The driver didn't understand any Japanese, but he was a really nice person.

The activity was amazing. The explanations and registration before it started were a bit difficult, but the view afterward was fantastic. The explanations were in English, so I didn't understand most of it, but just watching the guide's way of speaking and expressions was enjoyable.

When it rains, the dust doesn't rise, but you get quite wet, so I think it's a good idea to buy a poncho on-site.
