Reviews for Kualoa Ranch

Kualoa Ranch was an amazing experience on our trip. I had booked 2 tours while we were there - the UTV tour & the Kualoa Grown Tour, with round trip transportation from Waikiki. We were picked up just a few blocks from our Hotel and taken to Kualoa. We were able to bypass the lines as we had prior reservations and were on the round trip transportation - they bring your paper tickets to you when you arrive. We had some time once we arrived before we had to check in for our UTV tour. We got some grab & go in the cafe & browsed in the gift shop. We ate at the tables just outside the cafe where we had wild chickens roaming near us. Our UTV tour was first - we checked in and got our safety gear and were sent to numbered tables to wait for our tour start and our safety instructions. The UTV tour was roughly 2 hours of driving a UTV through out the many many acres at Kualoa. First stop...Jurassic Valley. We were able to get some really great photos in Jurassic Valley, one of our tour guides Kay, took an epic Jurassic photo with hand puppet T-Rex. It was such a great experience driving through the various movie sets and beautiful scenery at Kualoa. There was roughly an hour between the end of the UTV tour and the start of our Kualoa Grown Tour, where we were able to check out the little museum, check items into a locker and make some souvenir purchases. For the Kualoa grown tour, you start by boarding an open air trolly type of bus that takes you down the road to Kualoa ranch's gardens. We saw their fish ponds, taro fields, cacao trees, among flowers, and other edible plants. We tried raw cacao that we opened on the tour and were told about the fermentation process and how it is turned into chocolate. Overall, Kualoa was an incredible experience and I would highly recommend taking a tour or two if you are thinking about it. We hope to be able to do their horse back riding tour next time around.

The UTV tour through Kualoa Ranch was a great experience! The photos cannot capture the beauty of this beautiful place. We had an amazing time and learned so much from our guides. I highly recommend the 2 hour UTV tour! Just such a fun time!

This was an unreal experience!! 10/10 would do it again. Adam, Valorie and Griffin’s energies were unmatched during the zip line tour. Kept the vibes in check the entire time and had the whole group looking forward for more. Definitely add Kualoa Ranch to the itinerary 🤙🏾😎

Took the 2 hour ATV raptor tour. It was interesting to be able see all the scenery. You don't move fast on the ATVs, but get pretty dusty

The condition of the animals here is atrocious. The horses look lifeless and miserable, moving at a painfully slow walk (sometimes refusing to walk). I've read reviews saying the wellbeing of your animals is your top priority but that has to be a straight up lie. The horses that were walking around without saddles on had open wounds on their backs. The only positives were the views and our fantastic tour guide. But still as a horse owner it broke my heart and I will never come back and support this. I also noticed along the ride some of the cows I saw were complete skin and bones and other employees looking straight up miserable. Do better.

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.
