Πράγματα που μπορείτε να κάνετε στο Kualoa Ranch

Περάσαμε υπέροχα στο Koalua Ranch χάρη στην Αμέλια, την ξεναγό μας, και στον Βαλ. Ο καιρός όταν πήγαμε ήταν ηλιόλουστος, συννεφιασμένος και βροχερός, κάτι που πρόσθεσε στην περιπέτεια. Το τοπίο και οι ιστορίες πίσω από αυτό είναι εκπληκτικά. Επιβάλλεται να το κάνετε όταν βρίσκεστε στη Χαβάη.

Λάτρεψα την θέα και τα πάντα στο σετ. Αλλά η ξενάγηση ήταν κάπως βιαστική. Νομίζω ότι χρειαζόμασταν περισσότερο χρόνο για φωτογραφίες ή τουλάχιστον για να απολαύσουμε τα πάντα στην ξενάγηση. Γιατί δεν έχουν όλοι το προνόμιο να επαναλάβουν την ίδια ξενάγηση. ΧΡΕΙΑΖΟΜΑΣΤΕ-ΧΡΟΝΟ... είναι μια ξενάγηση. Α, και ξεκινήσαμε αργά. Γι' αυτό. Τσκ τσκ. Ο ξεναγός ήταν υπέροχος όμως. Ήταν χιουμορίστας και γνώστης. Απλά βιαζόταν.

Μια απόλυτη εμπειρία που πρέπει να ζήσουν οι λάτρεις του κινηματογράφου, προσφέροντας μια εκπληκτική, ανώμαλη και απίστευτα νοσταλγική διαδρομή μέσα στα εμβληματικά, κινηματογραφικά τοπία της «Κοιλάδας των Δεινοσαύρων».

We booked the 3:00 PM tour and used a KLOOK coupon, which was cheaper than booking directly on the official website. Check-in started at 2:30, and the test ride began at 3:00. You need to be able to ride through a muddy section before hitting the main trail, and the safety requirements are quite strict. Our tour guide kept the atmosphere lively the whole way, even bringing his own Jurassic Park music, and he really knew how to take great photos. It was an unforgettable experience!

The tour guide was very lively and positive, and didn't pressure us for tips (though it's still polite to give one, of course). After arriving at the parking lot, we first went past the souvenir shop building to exchange our tickets, use the restroom, then waited at the designated spot, and checked in again before boarding the vehicle. Arriving early is necessary.

Initially, the bus arrived 15 minutes late to the meeting point, but that was my only moment of anxiety. The free malasadas, the magnificent nature and scenery, Dole Plantation, seeing sea turtles while snorkeling, the exquisite garlic shrimp, and the Jurassic Park filming locations—everything was so packed that 10 hours flew by in an instant. Our tour guide, Dirk, seemed to have been an English teacher in Tokyo, so he was fluent in Japanese. Since everyone else in our group was foreign, the tour was conducted entirely in English, but when he spoke to us, he used fluent Japanese. He was so proficient that he could even crack jokes in Japanese. This was my first time in Hawaii, and I'm already planning to go back soon.

Super worth the money and managed to save by booking through the pass! Bookig was pretty straightforward. Did have trouble trying to book the surfing activity at the start but Klook sorted that out for me. The turtle snorkelling I also ended up having to pay extra to snorkel cause the pass only covered a boat tour but even with that I still saved by using the pass. Just gotta read the activity details better first next time.
