Kaneohe

After comparing all the Kualoa Ranch tours, I ultimately chose the Bus Tour. I initially thought it would be a quick, superficial overview, but the driver/guide extended the 1.5-hour tour to 2 hours, providing information about movie locations and various animals and plants along the way (note that this is entirely in English). Perhaps to differentiate it from other tours (such as horseback riding, UTV, etc.), the movie locations or stops were different. For example, the Bus Tour didn't stop at the Jurassic World location, which was a bit disappointing, but it did stop at the Kong: Skull Island set. Overall, I highly recommend it. Although it might be hard to understand if you haven't seen many of the movies, Kualoa Ranch is truly beautiful. Even without recognizing the movie locations, the scenery is stunning, and the Bus Tour is much cheaper than other tours. Overall, recommended.

I'm satisfied. The guide was friendly and it was fun. My butt was a little sore, but it was fun riding the electric bike while looking at the wonderful scenery! There were many tours, but I think I made a really good choice by choosing the bike. I'm satisfied. lol

The itinerary might seem a bit tiring, but you can actually sleep during the travel time, so you can travel without any physical issues. The guide was very kind and cheerful, making the trip enjoyable 😎 It was great to be able to go to the northern tip of the island, which is difficult to reach by public transportation, and especially to see the Dole Plantation, which is well-known in Korea 😊 I recommend it to travelers on foot or those who want a cost-effective tour. The food was also delicious.

Highly recommend this tour! We decided to book it for our first day in Hawaii to get the lay of the land and tick some places off of our “tourist-must-see” checklist. We had Chief Henry as our guide and it felt like an honour to have someone with so much love and wisdom to guide us through Oahu. In the beginning, it was a bit confusing to find the meet up place. We were told to be in Hyatt Regency but Apple and Google maps was showing somewhere else. I highlighted the street of the where the meet up is in yellow (Koa Ave) in the pic below. Be prepared to wait a bit. There are many tour companies picking up at the same location and be prepared to listen for your name. You can also ask some of the guides for help if needed. With that said, we believe that this experience is so worth it. We enjoyed every minute of it and the convenience it offered us. 🤙

We came solely for the Jurassic World filming locations. The tour guide was entertaining, using an iPad to point out scenes from the movie. There was also ample time for taking pictures. We weren't able to book the horseback riding tour, which looked amazing. If we have the chance next time, we'll be sure to book it further in advance.

Great morning easy hike up to watch the Sunrise on top of Diamond Head. The guide John was great, giving us insights to the area.

We had an amazing time in our tour and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and gave a warm “Ohana” to everyone. Cheryl gave us lei, mints, chocolate covered macadamia and cold water throughout the tour.

I recommend the Raptor UTV. I did the jungle tour because my child is young, and the Raptor UTV covers some of the course by vehicle.

The explanation was clear, and it was super exciting when we took off. We forgot to bring jackets, and it gets really cold up there, but the scenery is truly beautiful. Overall, the experience is very worthwhile. If you're too scared to skydive, trying a helicopter ride is also a great way to get a view of Hawaii.
