We did the 9:00am 2 hour ATV tour, it was lots of fun, only 6 of us in the group. Our guide was cool, he took us to lots of different movie & LOST locations. He allowed for enough time for everyone to get pictures, we were all couples so he also offered to take pictures for us too. The... More

My husband and I booked the 2 hour ATV tour...we arrived early and checked out the property. I noticed that the 1 hour ATV tours were returning with a lot more people than the 2 hour tours. Our group only had 5 people (including us) plus our guide Christopher. He pleasant and very knowledgeable about the areas he took you... More

We booked a tour at the Kualoa Ranch. Bus arrived late and broke down. We transfer to new bus. Get to the ranch. Told we are not allowed the choices we picked because we got their late. No refunds. Their bus broke down, it was not our fault we got there late. We move to the horseback riding area. Family... More

We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your horseback tour at Kualoa. As most of our guests enjoy their experience, our staff did remember your visit and were dissapointed that they were not able to accomodate you to your satisfaction. As you mentioned, the particular horse you were riding was irritated by flies on that day and was... More

This is a beautiful ranch that offers a variety of tours. We took the movie tour. They drove us around the ranch in an old school bus with the glass removed from the windows. Its a working ranch with spectacular views of cattle and scenery. The tour guide hadn't seen many of the movies mentioned in the tour so he... More

The movie tour was fun and interesting. Generally, for those who are interested in movies with some Hawaiian history. Our guide, "Cowboy", was fun and added to the enjoyment of the tour. More

We did the movie and the atv tour. The ATV tour was really fun, but unfortunately we did the exact same route as the movie tour. We paid 300 dollars and felt like we got the same tour just in two different vehicles. The dinner was really good and the entertainment. The banana bread was to die for (I wish... More

The movie tour was a nice and fun way to spend an afternoon. There are several stops and it was very interesting to see the places where some famous films have been made. This was essential for the movie buff. You'll also get a little Hawaiian history and Mythology sprinkled with a little bit of local stories. You'll be able... More

We went to Kualoa Ranch at the end of April, on a Sunday, little did we know this was a bad day for the secret island and ocean voyaging tour. Hawaii doesn't allow commerical boats on the water on Sundays so take that into consideration when booking, we didn't know this until we were at the secret island beach and... More

The ranch has a sensational panoramic view of the surrounding areas and valleys. This is where they filmed Jurassic Park, Lost etc etc. It is well worth the visit, especially with your camera. My tip just go for 1/2 day do the Jungle and Movie site tours, where you can see all the scenery. The horse ride is very boring,... More
