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.

This tour was so much fun! If you're reasonably good at riding a bike, you can definitely do it! I highly recommend this tour~

Do this tour… you won’t regret it!! We booked it last minute and it was the best thing we’ve done since we arrived in Hawaii. Dirk was our tour guide and he was amazing, so friendly and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this!!

Totally going here everytime I visit Hawaii with new friends or family. Definitely a must experience!

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 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.

great experience tour guide was very funny. efficient way to see the highlights of the island.

amazing tour; Kevin was extremely kind and looked after the group. He explained many things about the different places that we visited.

This was worth the money I paid for four adults! drive your own UTV even if you’re scared. I’m not the most confident driver, but this was one of the best experiences, even if it rained like crazy halfway through! can confirm the path is safe! the clouds and rain created a moody atmosphere and the scenes at the ranch were breathtaking! our guides Toa and Makoa knew their legends of the locations so well, made us laugh, took photos of our group, and ensured we stayed safe! It was amazing, we had so much fun. for my fellow short people, I’m 5ft1 and had to sit more forward on the seat to reach the pedals (just keep in mind for my fellow shorter friends! especially if you’re concerned about sitting up the entire time and having no backrest!) but otherwise, I have no regrets! this was such a beautiful experience! please do it and support the ranch! hot tip for those staying in Waikiki and you didn’t rent a car, we recommend reserving/scheduling an uber to and from the ranch!
