Reviews for Magpie Travel

Kualoa Ranch is one of those rare places that blends natural beauty, cultural heritage, and cinematic history into a single unforgettable experience. Nestled between the Koʻolau Mountains and the Pacific, the ranch offers sweeping views that feel straight out of a movie—because they are. From Jurassic Park to Jumanji, the landscape is instantly recognizable, but seeing it in person is something else entirely. The staff are welcoming and well-organized, and the range of tours—from the Hollywood Movie Sites Tour to the UTV Raptor adventure—means there’s something for every kind of traveler. What really stood out was how well the ranch balances tourism with preservation. The guides share stories about the land’s history and its importance to Hawaiian culture, which adds depth to the experience. Whether you’re riding through the valley in an open-air vehicle, exploring the jungle trails, or just snapping photos by the iconic Kualoa sign, the ranch never feels commercialized or rushed. It’s a place where you can slow down, take in the scenery, and appreciate the layers of history beneath the surface. Highly recommend booking in advance—this place fills up fast for good reason.

This place is amazing! We did the Jurassic Park tour. It was great. The views were breathtaking and incredible. The tour was so fun and great for us JP lovers. Our tour guide was awesome and she took some great pics for us. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves the movies. We'll for sure be back!

We did the 2-hour horseback tour and really enjoyed it. For someone with no riding experience, I was comfortable and they provided great instruction. I only wish we had spent more time in the actual valley; about an hour of the tour is in dense forest without much of a view.

Kualoa Ranch is really a great experience. It turns out that it is not only the shooting location of Juci Park, but also the shooting location of many well-known movies, and many well-known Hollywood actors have visited. Unfortunately, all the tickets were sold when we arrived, so we couldn't enter the park to visit, but the magnificent mountain view was really great, and the island opposite was Straw Hat Island, which was a pleasant experience.

One of the best spots on the island, I highly recommend it. We did the Jurassic tour and it did not disappoint. It was fun and we also learned the history of the island. Overall a great experience

Keala, Kat, and Hannah were the best!! Hubby, our daughter, and I chose the Raptor ATV Ride Along Tour. It can be fun to drive the atv, but we prefer the ride along because we get amazing nuggets of information from our driver. We would recommend booking the earliest tour for two reasons. The first reason is the weather. It's generally cooler in the morning. There was such a lovely breeze throughout the whole tour! The second reason is the dust. The dust kicks up more and more as the day progresses. If you're on the first tour, there is virtually no dust on the road. There is a café on site as well as a souvenir store. Both are worth visiting!!

Book early they sell out fast. The full day tour is great for outdoor people. They show you the whole ranch and feed you too. The movie tour is probably the most entertaining and recommend if you choose one then do that one. UTV seem fun but book fast. There lots do here definitely and just see

We had a great time on the zip line tour ( I think it’s the best among all the other tours they offer there) There were seven different lines, and each one was fun. The guides were amazing — friendly, helpful, and made us feel really safe the whole time. This was definitely the best money we spent on the island. Amazing experience Tip: Bring your phone, but make sure it’s in a safe pouch around your neck, don’t leave in a storage. You’ll want to take pictures and videos , the views are incredible. Photos they offer at the ranch (during the tour) were not the best quality and really pricey.
