All Reviews for TV, Film & Movie Tours

I have been going to Hawaii for many years and was aware of Kualoa Ranch, but I had avoided this attraction because I wasn't very interested in the Jurassic Park movies. However, after participating for the first time, I was greatly impressed by the scale and structure of the attraction. This time, I joined three tours: the Jungle, Movie, and Kualoa Farm tours, and I would like to participate in the remaining tours in the future if given the opportunity. Also, the staff members were really kind, and I’m very glad I participated in this tour.

ハワイに長年行っており、クアロア・ランチのことは知っていましたが、ジュラシックパークの映画にあまり興味がないので、このアトラクションを敬遠していました。しかし、初めて参加して、スケールの壮大さやアトラクションの構成に大変感動しました。今回は、ジャングル、ムービーとクアロア農園の３件のツアーに参加しましたが、機会があれば残りのツアーにも今後参加したいと思います。あと、スタッフの方々も本当に親切で、今回のツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。

Was a nice and fun experience never. Weather was really nice in the afternoon. There so much to do and see not enough time for everything lol . We also had a really good tour guid his name was Sam .

It was all in English, so I was really disappointed that I couldn't understand the staff's explanations. I was looking forward to the experience, but it felt a bit lacking.

全て英語だったので、スタッフの説明が全く分からなかったので残念。
折角の体験をタ楽しみにしていたのですが、少し物足りなかった。

All the tour guides were so personable and helpful. The view was stunning. If you are visiting Oahu, this tour is a must...The buffet was so tasty and healthy

We had the best time on the tours. The guides were excellent. Very friendly. The grounds were clean, wanted to stay longer. It was an awesome experience would love to come back and tour it all again.
Thank You

I had been wanting to visit Kualoa Ranch. I considered renting a car for transportation, but it was the right decision to book a tour.

During the ride to and from the ranch, I was able to rest, which helped me recover my energy for the rest of the day's plans.

Since I participated without understanding English, I relied on a translation app, but unfortunately, the signal was poor, and I couldn't fully grasp the content as I had hoped.

The magnificent scenery was amazing, and it was fun to take photos.

行ってみたいと思っていたクアロアランチ。
移動手段にはレンタカーも考えていましたが
ツアーを頼んで正解でした。

行き帰りの車内では休息が取れ、その後の予定への体力回復が出来ました。

英語がわからない状態での参加なので、翻訳アプリを駆使しましたが、想像通り電波が悪く、内容がイマイチ理解出来なかったのが残念でした。

壮大な景観が素晴らしく、写真を撮るのは楽しかったです。

The scenery viewed from the car was wonderful everywhere. The facilities were clean, and I was able to spend my time comfortably. The staff were also very attentive in their work. Everything was punctual and well-organized. I had a great time.

車から眺める景色がどこも素晴らしかったです。施設も綺麗で気分よく過ごせました。スタッフの皆さんも丁寧なお仕事をされてました。時間も正確できっちりされてました。とても楽しかったです。

One of the best tours we did on Oahu! Pick up was on time and convenient. We had a great time all day. The guides were friendly and very knowledgeable, and we never felt rushed. The buffet was hot and very good. There was always someone to help or answer a question. I would happily do this tour again!

It was truly amazing! Riding in a large bus without glass windows or a sightseeing bus while surrounded by vast nature gave me an incredible sense of adventure as we toured filming locations. During the filming location tour, I was thrilled to enjoy the great outdoors while feeling the wind! The staff were very kind, playing movie music and providing lively explanations, which made for a fun experience throughout. My memories of the trip to Hawaii became even more special. I want to go again!

本当に最高でした！
ガラス窓のない大型バスや観光バスで走りながら、広大な自然に囲まれて、映画の撮影地を巡るアドベンチャー感がたまりませんでした。
特に撮影地ツアーでは、風を感じながら大自然を満喫できて大興奮！
スタッフの方々もとても親切で、映画の音楽をかけてくれたり、とても元気に解説をしてくれて終始楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ハワイ旅行での思い出がさらに特別なものになりました。また行きたいです！

The staff provides various explanations in English throughout the tour. I thought it might have been more enjoyable if I could understand English better. There is no Japanese guide.

ツアーの間中スタッフが色々と英語で説明をしてくれます。英語がもっと理解できたらもっと楽しかったかもと思いました。日本語ガイドはありません。

I was able to explore under clear skies without encountering any squalls.

I had high expectations for the movie location tour, so I felt it was just okay and wasn't particularly moved. However, I was impressed by the breathtaking views during the jungle exploration tour, especially since I didn't have high expectations for that. It's all about not expecting too much!

スコールにも合わず、晴天の中回れました。

映画のロケ地巡りは期待が大きかったこともあり、まあまあと感じ、感動まではいきませんでしたが、ジャングル探検ツアーは期待していなかった分、絶景に感動しました（笑）
期待し過ぎないことですね。

Do this tour- you get to see the entire farm in different ways! and lunch was easy to feed our larger family too!

I had a good time overall on the second tour, but the explanations were all in English. For those who understand, the jokes make sense, but for those who don't speak English, it's completely meaningless and boring. I wish they would at least provide a translation device.

2回目のツアーで全体的には楽しかったが、すべて英語の説明でわかる人には冗談が通じるが、英語が分からないと全く意味不明でつまらない。せめて翻訳機くらい用意してほしい。

The tour was awesome. My 13 and 11 year old loved it and loved getting to hear all the stories of the different actors that have been there and left wanting to watch a ton of movies! Sam was great and so was our tour guide! Loved being able to get off and take pictures at different spots

The jungle tour involves driving through the mountains to get close to the summit, offering breathtaking views. Since it's by car, it's quick, but if you were to hike it, it would take more than half a day. As mentioned in other experiences, there is quite a bit of dust, especially when a four-wheeler is ahead of you. Perhaps because it's the dry season, the surrounding trees are changing color. If you're sensitive to dust, wearing a mask might be a good idea. As for the movie filming locations, I haven't watched many films, so the only one I recognized was Jurassic Park. The farm tour was great, especially the cacao tasting.

ジャングルツアーは車で山のなかを走って頂上に近いところまで行って絶景です　車なので早いですが自力で登ったら半日以上かかります　体験談にもあったけど砂埃は結構あります　特に四輪バギーが前を走ったら酷い　乾季だからなのか周りの木々も色が変わっている位　嫌いな人はマスクしたらいいかもしれません　映画のロケ地は余り映画を観ていないのでジェラシックパークくらいしかわかりませんでした　農園ツアーはカカオ試食が良かったです

We did the movie set Bus tour with our 2 grandkids (7 and 4 yo).
It’s 90 minutes but could easily be done in 60.
The ranch scenery is beautiful but the actual ‘sets’ were less than impressive.
Overall I would not recommend this tour. Not worth the $200.

Very well organized , all personnel very friendly and knowledgeable, very intense and cultural .
buffet was great .

At the beginning of April, there are still rainy days. On the day of the tour at Kualoa Ranch, it rained all day. I was able to enjoy the bus tour to some extent. It would have been better if there had been a tour in Japanese since all the explanations were in English.

4月の初めはまだ雨の日がある。クアロアランチの当日は終日雨。
バスでのツアーのためにそれなりに楽しめました。説明はすべて英語のために日本語でのツアーがあればもっと良かった。

The buggy experience itself was amazing! However, I got caught in a sudden downpour and ended up soaking wet (laughs). They sell ponchos at the shop, but they're really basic, so I strongly recommend bringing your own poncho from Japan if you're planning to participate. You never know when or where a downpour might happen. Also, you will get really dirty, so I highly recommend wearing dark-colored clothes.

バギー体験自体は最高！ただ、突然のスコールにみまわれたため、びしょ濡れ(笑)ポンチョが売店に売ってるけど、本当に簡易的なので、参加予定の人は日本のポンチョの持参を強くおすすめします。スコールはいつどこで起こるか本当に解らないので。また、めちゃめちゃ汚れます。そのため、黒ベースの服を着ていくことを強くお勧めします。

The tour, which takes you around the vast grounds in a bus driven by the staff, is fantastic, with various movie scenes like Jurassic Park scattered throughout. The staff's lively commentary was entertaining and made me feel like a kid again, having a great time.

ジェラシックパークなど数々の映画シーンが広大は敷地に点在するなかをスタッフが運転するバスで巡るツアーは最高です。中でもスタッフの軽快な解説は笑いがありこどもに戻って大はしゃぎしました。

I was unsure which course to choose, but I decided on this one based on everyone's reviews. I had a great time all day, and I think it was good that meals were included. I was worried about the bad weather, but I was able to see the second performance on the boat, and especially the staff on the boat made it a lot of fun, so it became a wonderful memory.

どのコースにしようか迷ったのですが、みなさんの感想を参考にしてこちらのコースにしました。
一日中楽しめましたし、食事も付いてたしよかったと思います。
あいにくの空模様で心配してたのですが、船の上で二次も見ることができ、特に船のスタッフの方がいろいろ楽しませてくれたのでとてもいい思い出になりました。

I participated in this tour for the first time. Due to the weak yen, I requested a shuttle service, and the cost was just under 30,000 yen per person, but I joined with my family of three. The guide spoke entirely in English, so I couldn't understand what was being said, but we had a wonderful time. We were able to take photos at movie filming locations, see cacao that you can't find in Japan, and even crack and eat macadamia nuts ourselves, which was a fun experience. Above all, the scenery was amazing! The weather was also favorable, making both the mountains and the sea incredibly beautiful. It was a healing time for my husband and me, who are usually tired from work. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would like to participate in a buggy riding tour.

初めてこのツアーに参加しました。
円安だったので、送迎もお願いして費用は1人3万円弱かかってしまったのですが、家族3人で参加しました。
ガイドさんは全て英語だったので、何をお話されているのかはわからなかったですが、とてと良い時間を過ごす事ができました。
映画のロケ地で写真を撮る事ができたり、日本では見ることができないカカオを見れたりマカダミアナッツを自分で割って食べる事ができたりと楽しい体験もできました。何より景色が素晴らしい!!お天気にも恵まれた事もあり山も海も凄くキレイで最高でした。日頃、仕事に疲れている夫と私には癒しの時間になりました。
またハワイに行く事ができたら、バギーに乗るツアーに参加してみたいと思います。

Second time in Hawaii.
Since the day I arrived in Honolulu, it has been raining continuously, and even on the day I had reserved, it rained (tears).
I didn't expect it to rain this much during the rainy season! I wore a water-repellent windbreaker for the rain, but since I'm particularly sensitive to the cold, I felt like I wanted to wear a fleece underneath.
For those participating on rainy days, the ground is muddy and slippery, so while it may add to your luggage, I think it's a good idea to bring a change of clothes for when you get dirty and to find ways to stay warm to avoid getting cold.
I was able to enjoy each activity even with the bad weather.
I love plants, so seeing plants I've never seen before, drenched in rain and vibrant, was exciting.

If it had been sunny, I would have been able to see the ocean in the distance, so I would like to try again if I have the chance.
Thank you very much.

2度目のハワイ。
ホノルル到着した日から雨続きで、
予約していたこの日も雨（涙）。
雨季は雨季でもこんなに降るか！っていうくらいのタイミング。
雨用に撥水加工のウインドブレーカーを着て行ったのですが、特に寒がりの私なので中にフリース着たいくらいでした。
雨の日に参加する方には、地面がぬかるんでいて滑りやすいので
荷物は増えますが
汚れた時用の着替えとか
とにかく体を冷やさないように
暖かく過ごせる工夫をされるといいと思います。
各アクティビティはお天気が悪くても十分楽しめました。
植物が大好きなので
見たこともない植物が雨に濡れて鮮やかでワクワクしました。

晴れていたら遠くの海まで見渡せるので
また機会があったらリベンジしたいです。
ありがとうございました。

I'm glad I participated in this tour. The scenery is something that cannot be fully conveyed through photos. I was very satisfied with the variety of places we visited.

このツアーに参加してよかったと思いました。
写真では伝わりきることができない景色です。
いろんなところに行くことができて大満足でした。

The Kualoa Experience was amazing, The tours that we did on the day had exceptional knowledgeable guides.
We also had the lunch which was delicious. We had know idea that there was that many movies and series made at the ranch.

There were no other Japanese tourists on the bus for the tour. All the explanations were in English, so I couldn't understand the content, but I could somewhat feel the atmosphere. The jungle exploration had a nice opportunity for a bit of hiking, which was great. The tour around the farm turned out to be surprisingly the most interesting and enjoyable experience. It was amazing to see the magnificent scenery that can only be found here.

ツアー毎のバスには他に日本人観光客はいませんでした。説明は全て英語でしたので内容は分かりませんでしたが何となくの雰囲気で感じていました。ジャングル探険では少し登山する機会があった所が良かったです。農園を巡るツアーは意外と一番興味深く楽しく体験できました。ここでしか見られない壮大な景色を見られて最高でした。

Exceeded our expectations! The tours and guides are excellent. Buffet lunch was good.

What a blast, we got a bunch of cool knowledge on all different pieces that make kualoa ranch!!

Absolutely amazing combination. Scenery and guides were excellent. Bit disappointed in the movie tour as part of sets deteriorated because of passage of time. Also thought you would see more of current sets. Farm Tour was very interesting which also included some movie sets. Lunch was excellent.

Overall great day out and fantastic place that is trying to maintain green friendly eco systems and preserve area for future generations.

Would definitely go again as there were other trips like zip lining which we did not have time to do,

So very glad I booked this excursion.
This was definitely by far one of our best excursions. We were able to see and learn so much about all the different movies filmed at this location. The trips were well timed and spaced apart enough that they did not overlap into one another. The guides were knowledgeable and very accommodating. Lunch was really good with great selections. I feel like a trip to O’ahu is not complete without this excursion. Will definitely recommend this excursion to others visiting Hawai’i.
