There is a Japanese explanatory video on how to handle horses, and the staff gives instructions in simple Japanese, so even though it was an English guide, I felt more at ease and enjoyed it more than I had imagined. It's not often that you get to experience riding a horse by yourself, and it was great to enjoy that in the majestic nature of Kualoa Ranch. The two-hour horseback riding was a bit painful for beginners.
馬の扱い方については日本語の説明動画があり、スタッフさんも簡単な日本語で指示をしてくれるため、英語のガイドではありますが想像していたよりは安心して楽しめました。
自分自身で馬を操る体験はなかなかできないですし、それを雄大な自然が感じられるクアロア牧場で楽しめたのは良かったです。
2時間の乗馬は初心者には少しおしりが痛くなりました。

It was a very fulfilling time. I participated with transportation included this time. As those who have experienced it before mentioned, there is about a 30-minute wait after it's over until you get on the bus, and it feels like there's not enough time. The buggy ride was fun. Your face gets completely covered in dust.
とても充実した時間でした。

Easily marked where to go once we got the ranch! Great tour guides that you could tell had fun working there. Knowledgeable about the land, ranch, nature, etc. they provided us with a dust covering, eye protection and helmets. Safe vehicles. Definitely saw more of the ranch than any other tour or on horseback since we were using the UTV’s! I’d definitely recommend this to friends.

It was so much fun racing through the magnificent nature on a buggy. After the experience, we had a good laugh at how covered in sand we were. Doing laundry when we got home was a hassle, but it was so amazing that it didn't matter at all. It's essential to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, along with goggles or sunglasses. At the beginning of the experience, there was a time for participants to introduce themselves, and we were the only Japanese group there. That was also a valuable experience. However, it was a bit disappointing that we had to wait a long time for the bus after the experience. But it's an activity that I think everyone should try at least once.
とにかく壮大な大自然の中をバギーで疾走するのが楽しかった。

My mom and I had such an amazing time going on the Jurassic Valley Movie Tour. I thought we were going on a different tour because I am a die hard dinosaur fan but this tour was just as amazing. We got to see some amazing movie sets and when our tour guide took us to one of the Jurassic World Movie sets I about died. I was so excited. It was everything I dreamed. Our tour guide took us into the movie set when technically he wasn't supposed to, but he knew how much of a fan I am of Jurassic World so he made an exception. I couldn't have been more grateful. This is one experience I will never forget. My mom and I plan to come back to do the Jurassic Valley tour that is specific to the Jurassic Park/World movies and nothing else. We both had a blast. I kinda went Overboard in the gift shop and got so much Jurassic Valley souvenirs. The gift shop had so many things to choose from. I highly recommend recommend Kualoa Ranch. They have so many things for you to do there. Horseback riding, ATV's, Ziplining (which I've done and it's a amazing experience). They have amazing staff working there. I will be coming back to Kualoa Ranch for years to come.

Actually, in the past, my son was too small for the buggy, and I lacked confidence in moving around smoothly in the morning, so I had been avoiding Kualoa for a long time... After much deliberation, I decided on the Raptor tour, even though horseback riding and just a movie tour sounded good too. Since I was only 18 and didn't have my license yet, my mother ended up driving.
For someone who is only 151 cm tall like me, it felt like I was driving on my tiptoes, but I managed to get through it! Along the way, they took funny photos and videos at various spots, making it feel like we were part of a movie scene, which was so much fun! I actually forgot my driver's license that day, but I had my photo, and that was okay. I was relieved—if I couldn't participate and had to cancel on the day without a full refund, that would have been terrifying. Everyone, please be careful not to forget!
They show a Japanese explanation video for Japanese guests. After a trial run, they said if everything was okay, we could go without help, but there was actually no such thing, and we went straight to the main event. However, there were three staff members with us, so I think they would have switched if we needed help.
We woke up at 4:30 AM in Waikiki and took a bus around 5:00 AM, but there was a slight delay. We made it in plenty of time, but we came early in the morning and planned to eat garlic shrimp in Kahuku on the way back. If we had more energy, we thought about making more stops on the way back, so we opted for no round-trip shuttle. Depending on the combination of activities, I think you can have a full day of fun!
実は以前は息子が小さ過ぎてバギーが出来なくて、朝起き、移動もなかなか上手く出来る自信が無くて、ずっと敬遠してきたクアロアでした…馬もいいし、ただの映画ツアーでもいいしと悩んだ末にラプターにしました♪
まだ、18歳で免許取れてなかったので、結局運転は母でしたが。
151しかない私にはかなりの爪先運転に近かったんですが、何とかクリア出来ました!
途中いろんな所で、面白おかしく写真や動画を撮影してくれて、映画のワンシーンに参加してるみたいで、凄く楽しかった!
実は車の免許を当日忘れて、写真だけあったんですが、それでOKでした。
助かった~これで参加出来なくて、当日キャンセルで全額返金されなかったらゾッとします。皆さん、お忘れ無き様、お気を付け下さい!

お試し走行して、大丈夫なら、ヘルプなしでGOとの説明でしたが、全然そんなの無しで、本番へGOでしたが、スタッフは3名付いてましたので、ヘルプ出せば代わってくれたとは思います♪
ワイキキ4:30起きして、5:00発位のバスで来ましたが、やはり、少し遅延がありました。充分間に合いましたが、私達は朝一に来て、帰りはカフクでガーリックシュリンプ食べて、もっと元気なら、もっと寄り道して帰りたいと考えたので、往復送迎無しにしました。

We participated in a horseback riding tour with my spouse and our adult daughter.
During the tour explanation, a staff member fluent in Japanese translates the important parts, so those who are not confident in English can feel at ease. However, the actual tour is conducted mostly in English. But don’t worry, they will also provide important information in broken Japanese.
The tour itself was just as expected, taking us to movie filming locations. The horses were very well trained, which made us feel safe.
The hamburger we had at a café in the area on our way back was very delicious.

At the reception, they check if you are wearing shoes. There were no specific requirements, but it was a tour for Japanese people. The guide could speak some simple Japanese and also provided instructions on how to ride the horse. It's a two-hour tour, so it can be a bit tiring, but you can really feel the vast nature of Kualoa Ranch. By the way, when I went, it rained quite a bit towards the end, but of course, I couldn't get off the horse, and my T-shirt got completely soaked (laughs). It might be a good idea to bring a change of clothes.

This was such an awesome experience, everything was so beautiful, and the ride was super fun. I wish I could remember their names, because the two ladies that led our tour were the best. They were really knowledgeable telling us all sorts of cool stuff about the area in a way that was engaging and fun. They made personal connections with each family which was really appreciated by everyone. They were bouncing from family to family helping take pictures, answering questions, and chatting with us all. I asked one of them a question about this weird looking “rock” I found and she took me off to the side to show me it was actually a nut shell. She took me to see the tree it came from, told me what it was used for, how it tasted, and she even dug around in the brush to find one on the ground so I could see what they looked like before it was cracked open. It sounds silly, but it was really nice that she took the extra time with just me to show me something I was interest in. 10/10 experience, we would totally go back. One of them even had a little dinosaur puppet that she pulled out to use to take pictures for people so it looked like the dinosaur was real and trying to attack us. It was so much fun. This really is a must do event if you’re visiting this island.

I participated in a four-wheel buggy tour at Kualoa, thinking of the memories in Hawaii during my grandson's spring break. The weather was unpredictable, and while I was hoping for the typical sunny Hawaiian skies and blue ocean, it was occasionally rainy.

I rode the smallest mountain bike. It was tough at first, but once I got used to it, it was a breeze. I rode 9.5 kilometers, and since it was electric, I didn't get tired at all going uphill! I was worried about the weather in the morning, but by the time of the activity, it had cleared up completely, and the greenery of the mountains was even more beautiful. The color of the sea from the high ground was incredibly stunning and moving!
However, the path was muddy, and the splashes from the bike tires were quite something. It was a rare experience to get muddy at my age. Since the weather was uncertain, it was a good idea to bring a change of clothes (there are paid lockers available in the park that you can access). My bag was also a waterproof one, which was a smart choice. My daughter was able to borrow a bike, so I think it's fine if you don't have one.
Since there were only two participants, we could enjoy our time and take photos freely. The guide spoke only in English, but it was very easy to understand, so it worked out. I think anyone who can ride a bike normally can participate; it felt amazing to cut through the wind and ride through Kualoa!
マウンテンバイクは一番小さいのに乗りました。
最初に乗る時は苦労しましたが、慣れてきたら余裕でした。9.5キロも走りましまが、電動なので坂も全然疲れません!朝から天気が心配されましたが、アクティビティの時間にはすっかりお天気になり、山の緑がいっそうキレイでした、高台からの海の色もめちゃくちゃキレイて感動!
ただ、道がねかるんでいて、自転車のタイヤからの泥はねがすごかったです。この歳でどろんこになる貴重な体験でした。お天気があやしかったので着替えを持って行っていたのが正解でした(園内に出し入れ可能な有料ロッカーあります)。カバンもウォーターバックでしたので、それも正解。娘は貸してもらえてましたので、無くても大丈夫だと思います。
参加が2人だけでしたので、時間や写真も自由にフリーの状態て楽しめました。ガイドは英語のみですが、とても聞き取りやすく、何とかなりました。

It was a wonderful experience. The local taxi driver mentioned that one hour wasn't enough, but two hours was quite physically demanding. The guide who accompanied us (a part-time trainer?) spoke English, so it was simple English, but I couldn't understand the warnings when I didn't catch what was being said, and I had to interpret and convey it to the participants. There wasn't much guidance regarding the filming locations; it felt like we were just riding horses. The horses were very smart and occasionally took off running, but they would slow down properly when they caught up to the horse in front. The next day, I had such muscle soreness that walking was difficult, but since I was just returning home, it wasn't a particular problem. I went with my 12-year-old daughter, and she really liked the calm horse and enjoyed herself. Since she is part of a sports club, it seems she didn't have any muscle soreness at all.
とても素晴らしい体験でした。
地元のタクシー運転手が1時間じゃ物足りなかったと言っていましたが、2時間はかなり体力がいりました。
一緒に回るガイド(調教するアルバイト?)も英語なため、簡単な英語でしたが聞き取れないと注意されている内容が分からず、参加しているこちらが通訳して伝える必要がありました。ロケ地に対してはガイドもなく、ひたすらに乗馬をしている感じです。馬はとても賢く、ときどき走り出しましたが、前の馬に追いつくとちゃんとゆっくりになってくれます。
翌日、筋肉痛で歩くのが難しいくらいでしたが帰国だけだったので特に問題はありませんでした。

Most of the staff do not speak Japanese, but it’s manageable. However, at some photo spots, the guide stops for about 5 to 10 minutes to explain things, and it might be quite confusing if you don’t understand English. Even if you don’t understand, they will still take your photos. It seems like you don’t necessarily need long sleeves and long pants, but on a sunny day, short sleeves might actually be uncomfortable. We had quite a bit of time until the return bus, so we had lunch at the attached café, and it was pretty delicious!

I couldn't get a detailed look at the filming locations of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World, but the thrill of driving on the off-road paths was amazing! The weather held up just enough, so I didn't get caught in the rain, but since there are no windows, it might be a good idea to bring a towel because of the dust.
The guides were very cheerful and took lots of photos for us.
Next time I go to Hawaii, I would love to experience the filming location tour.
One thing to note: I had a reservation for the 1:00 PM buggy tour, but the pickup was at 8:00 AM, and we arrived after 9:00, which left us with quite a bit of time to kill. There are souvenir shops and places to eat, so we were able to relax, but if you want to make the most of your time, I think it might be better to rent a car.

Although my husband and I couldn't speak any English, we decided to participate!
We took a shared bus to Kualoa Ranch. Inside the bus, it was quite cold, typical for Hawaii, and it was tough without a long-sleeve shirt. The person sitting next to us, who was from overseas, was wearing a beach towel over their head.
At Kualoa Ranch, there was one person who understood Japanese, and they explained the meeting place, time, attraction check-in locations, and facilities within Kualoa Ranch (like restrooms and restaurants). Please note that the Japanese-speaking staff were only available during this explanation and at the time of gathering for the return bus.
First, we checked in for the attractions. The staff at the check-in spoke only English. We went to the four-wheeler check-in area and submitted the Veltra application form and driver's license (for the person who would be driving). Both my husband and I wanted to drive.
After successfully checking in, we received helmets, goggles, and masks (like neck warmers), and then we watched a Japanese video about how to operate the buggy before departing. By the way, we were the only Japanese participants in this attraction. During the ride, I believe the staff explained the historical points and filming locations in Hawaii while we got out of the buggy at scenic spots, but it was all in English, so I couldn't understand anything. However, the staff were attentive, taking photos for us, and driving the four-wheeler through the stunning scenery and roads that are not found in Japan was incredibly refreshing!
There was a timing for switching drivers, and even though I am a paper driver who never drives in Japan, I managed to drive somehow. One thing to note is that we raced through a lot of dust, so we ended up covered in sand. Even though I was wearing a mask, my nostrils and ears were filled with sand.
Lastly, I was worried about the tipping situation. There were three staff members accompanying us, and I was nervous about whether we had to give each one a tip, but there was a place to leave tips when returning the goggles and helmets. My husband and I put in $40 together. I couldn't see how much others were tipping, but there were both dollar bills and coins in the tip box. By the way, we did not give tips to the drivers or the person who initially explained things in Japanese, nor did others.
At first, I was filled with anxiety about not being able to speak English, but it turned out to be an exciting experience that we can't have in Japan!
英語が全く出来ない私達夫婦でしたが思いきって参加しました!
乗り合いのバスでクアロア牧場に向かいました。
バスの中はハワイあるあるなのか、エアコンがガンガンすぎて長袖がないと辛いです。
隣に座っていた海外の方は持参したバスタオルをかぶっていました。
クアロア牧場施設内には、日本語が分かる方が一名いて、集合場所や時間、アトラクションの受付場所、クアロア牧場内の施設等(トイレやレストラン)を説明してくれました。
※日本語が話せる方は、この時の説明と、帰りのバスの集合時にしかいませんでした。
まず初めにアトラクションの受付をします。
※対応してくれる方は英語のみ
四輪バギー受付場所まで行き、ベルトラの申込書と運転免許証(運転をする人は)を提出しました。
私達夫婦は二人とも運転希望です。
受付が無事に終わり、ヘルメットとゴーグル、マスク(ネックウォーマーのような)を受け取り、
その後、バギーの操作に関して、日本語のビデオを確認し出発しました。
ちなみに、このアトラクションに参加していた日本人は私達夫婦のみでした。
走行中、絶景ポイントなどバギーから降りて、ハワイの歴史や、映画の撮影場所などをスタッフが説明をしてくれていたと思うのですが、英語のみでまったく分かりませんでした。
ですが、スタッフの方は気にかけて下さり、写真を撮ってくれたり、素晴らしい景色と日本ではない道を四輪バギーで走るのはとても爽快でした!
運転は途中で交代するタイミングがあり、
日本では全く運転しないペーパードライバーの私でも何とか運転できました。
注意点としましては、とにかく砂ぼこりの中を爆走するので、全身砂だらけになります。
マスクをしていたはずなのに鼻の穴も耳の中まで砂で真っ黒でした。
最後に心配していたチップの件ですが
同行してくれたスタッフが三人いたので、1人1人に渡さないといけないのか、ドキドキしていたのですが、ゴーグルやヘルメットを返す場所にチップを入れる場所があり、私達夫婦は二人で40ドル入れました。
他の方がどれくらい入れてるのかは確認できなかったのですが、チップケースの中にはもドル札だったりコインも入っていました。
ちなみに、その他ドライバーや初めに日本語で説明してくれた方には渡していません。他の方も。
初めは英語が話せないという不安でいっぱいでしたが、日本では出来ない、刺激的な経験となりました!
