Kaneohe

experience was amazing ! th landscape we drove through is breathtaking. Guides were knowledgeable, great guys and so helpful. would recommend for everyone to experience the ranch

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.

We participated with a total of 4 people, including my 70-year-old parents and a friend. My parents especially were overjoyed. They seemed to have had a lot of fun and said it was a great memory. If you don't get much exercise, be prepared for sore muscles after the activity. If you realize you weren't very good at riding, your lower back may hurt. However, it was a really good experience. I recommend it. ↓↓ The following is a detailed report. The parking lot is large and free, so we took the highway from around Waikiki in a hui and enjoyed the drive along the way! As I researched, the parking lot was spacious, and even though it was a Saturday afternoon, we were able to park the car with ease. When we told the receptionist that we had a reservation, they confirmed the reservation by last name, checked the passport of the reservation representative only, and handed us the precautions written in Japanese. It was a very smooth process. I made sure to arrive with plenty of time to spare, but the directions were easy to understand and it was much smoother than I imagined, so we had plenty of time. We bought a hot dog ($5) and a canned coffee ($2) at the local shop and had a snack to kill time. I was worried about the weather, but it was sunny, so the sun was strong. Some people were wearing short sleeves, but I wore long sleeves to protect myself from the sun. You can wear a helmet over your hat or cap. Shoulder straps for cell phones are not allowed, but you can borrow a bag to put your luggage in and put it on the horse. You can put water and your cell phone in the bag. You will watch a movie of precautions, which is available in Japanese. However, once the activity starts, it is all in English. The explanations are not difficult, so even if you don't speak English, it should be fine. You can take photos with your cell phone while riding. The instructor also takes photos and shares them with you via AirDrop after the activity. As is common in tourist spots, the photos taken by the photographer are sold for $20 each, and you will be posed for photos while riding. Before doing the activity, I thought I didn't need it, but after the activity, I thought, 'I might as well buy it as a souvenir.' It was such a good experience. (It was great this time because it was sunny, but the impression would be quite different if it rained.)

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.
