Guests board one of our custom-built jungle vehicles for a 90 minute tour that rumbles along jungle trails, across isolated stream beds and powers up steep, bumpy hills for many spectacular views. Guests may also participate in a short hike to a scenic overlook with breathtaking views of Ka’a’awa and Hakipu’u valleys

Reviews summaryOur tour guide Matt did a brilliant job sharing the history about Kualoa (meaning long back) of an ancient lizard. 🦎 It wasn’t the movie tour guide but we did manage to visit movie sites from Jumanji, Triple Frontier & Jurassic World 🦖 History of the ranch and the plants/trees. Loved this tour but not suitable if you have a weak stomach because this is BUMPY! But worth it.
l love this jungle experience and interesting movie scene. lots of energy to climbi up that hill and a beautiful view.
The weather was nice and the scenery was even more beautiful. All staff were friendly. There is a restaurant and cafe inside so you can eat.
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.
I think this is a tour where you can see a lot of spectacular views. However, the guide is only in English, so it may be difficult for those who don't understand English. We got off the car and climbed the mountain for about 5 minutes to enjoy the view, but it was a steep slope so it might be difficult for elderly people or those with bad legs. Also, this is my personal opinion, but it didn't have a Jurassic feel. If you want to enjoy the filming locations, I recommend the movie location tour.
The jeep seats are comfortable and the ride is very bumpy, it's a lot like riding an amusement ride, it's so much fun! The tour guide was also very funny and humorous, the scenery was beautiful, and he helped take very beautiful photos. Recommended!
Great way to explore and learn about the KuaLoa Ranch. Gorgeous scenery and highly popular tours. Klook was a cheaper rate compared to other sites. Recommend coming earlier before your tour slot as it gets very busy!
It was good for everyone and especially fun for the young kids. I recommend it to everybody when you are in Hawaii.
The scenery is beautiful, the jungle adventure journey of 1.5h is very compact, it is worth recommending
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.
