We had an amazing time with our tour guide, Kawika, on the 3-Hour Deluxe UTV Ride Along Tour at Kualoa Ranch. We specifically chose the ride-along option because we wanted a fully guided experience without having to worry about driving and potentially missing the incredible scenery — and it was absolutely the right choice. Kawika made the whole experience exceptional. His background in Hawaiian studies added so much depth to the tour. He shared the history of the land, cultural stories, and insights that really helped us appreciate the significance of Kualoa beyond just the beautiful views. It felt much more meaningful than a typical tour. He was also incredibly personable and welcoming. Kawika took the time to answer questions, point out special spots along the way, and even helped take photos for our group so we could fully enjoy the moment. You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure everyone had a great experience. The landscapes at Kualoa Ranch are absolutely breathtaking, but Kawika truly made the tour memorable. This guy deserves a promotion! If you have the chance to take a tour with him, do it — you won’t regret it. Highly recommend the 3-Hour Deluxe UTV Ride Along Tour and especially recommend requesting Kawika as your guide!

Such a fun and scenic experience with the family at Kualoa Ranch. There was so much to do, and it was the perfect mix of adventure and learning. We really appreciated how they wove in Hawaiian history and culture throughout the experience, which made it feel meaningful and not just like another activity. The movie tour was especially cool, getting to see all the filming locations in person made it even more memorable. Not to mention the incredible scenery throughout the tour. Definitely one of those places where you pause and reflect on so many aspects of life.

We had a blast on the Kualoa Ranch deluxe UTV tour. Sarah, our tour guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable and knew how to to take the best pics/videos! The scenery is beautiful and it's cool to see where so many films were made. I was expecting a corporate experience, but got quite the opposite. The ranch owners are stewards of the land and do a lot to preserve it and contribute to the community. We highly recommend the deluxe tour for a smaller group and more sites and time to take pictures etc.

We did the Movie sites and ranch tour. Vina, our guide was amazing. She was friendly, knowledgeable and very engaging. It was a blast seeing all the places our favorite movies were made. We were even lucky enough to see a pod of whales too. Worth every penny we spent. Note: we all had lunch in the store at the ranch it was around $15.00 for the plate lunches and the meals were good and with plenty of food.

Movie Sites and Ranch Tour experience is good. I was told by the staff whenI called before booking that pregnant woman can opt for this Movie sites and Ranch tour but it is very bumpy ride. My bus driver took lot of care but still it is very bumpy as road is uneven, unpaved has lot of gravel. So I would NOT recommed this for pregnant women.

Cool spot if you are a movie buff. A bit of a tourist spot. Nice people who work there.

A great experience. Traveling through the scenes of many big movies, probably lots you didn't know were filmed there either. We took the Movie and Ranch tour. Our guide, Taylor was funny and offered great insight to the history of the ranch, island, and the film locations. Make sure to book ahead online

Been trying to book for months for the summer. The delays on making dates available are unacceptable. I’ll edit my review after those months are listed and I have completed my activity as these administrative deficiencies have cast doubts on future services. I’m optimistic they will get things sorted out.

An absolutely unforgettable experience! The Jurassic Adventure at Kualoa Ranch was hands down one of the highlights of our trip — stunning scenery, iconic movie locations, and a tour that truly makes you feel like you’ve stepped into Jurassic Park. The real standout was our guide, Ioane. He was incredible — knowledgeable, engaging, and brought amazing energy the entire time. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it made the whole experience even more fun and memorable. One of the funniest moments — he used our phone to film a slow-motion “dinosaur attack” with a tiny dinosaur in the corner while we ran… absolutely hilarious and such a creative touch. It’s those little extras that make a great tour unforgettable. Ioane is a true ambassador for Kualoa Ranch. If you get him as your guide, you’ve definitely hit the jackpot. No real dinosaurs… but we definitely had to run like there were. Easily one of the best tours we’ve ever done — highly recommend!

We took the Movie Sites & Ranch Tour in mid-March 2026. Our guide Tanner was fantastic! He was interactive, knowledgeable, and passionate. It was so incredibly clear how Tanner cares for the guests to ensure they have the best time possible. Not only were the sites amazing, but the exhibits they have are well-done, educational, and vast. It’s also a great place to walk around, shop, and eat, in addition to the views and activities. We highly recommend visiting Kualoa Ranch!
