Things to do in Kaneohe

I loveeeee the view and everything in the set. but the tour was kinda of a rush. i think we needed more time for photos and or at least to cherish every thing in the tour. because not all people are privileged enough to redo the same tour. WE-NEED-TIME... its a tour. oh and we started late. that's why. tsk tsk. the tour guide was great tho. he was humorous and knowledgeable. Just in a rush.

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.

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!

driver was good, give us good history and details during our tour so I gain knowledge about Hawaii. recommend trying Leonard donuts!

An absolute must-do for movie fans, offering a jaw-dropping, bumpy, and incredibly nostalgic ride through the iconic, cinematic landscapes of "Jurassic Valley."

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.

Be sure to check the tide times before visiting the sandbar. It was high tide and the water was just barely touching my feet, which was a bit scary. The water color is pretty, the donuts are delicious, and it's a unique experience, but you really need to time it right with the tides to fully appreciate the sandbar.

Had a good time in Koalua Ranch thanks to Amelia our guide and Val. The weather when we went there is sunny, cloudy and rainy which add to the adventure. The scenery and stories behind it is amazing. A must do when in Hawaii.

Horsebackriding for the second time around while enjoyin the view of the mountains and where the jurrasic park is film feels surreal.
