We did a three hour UTV tour on June 21. Had the BEST time with our awesome tour guide Mike! He made our experience super enjoyable and made sure everyone had a great time! read more

Would absolutely recommend, our two tour guides, David and Eden(sorry if I spelled her name wrong). Made our UTV tour so wonderful, had all the information you need, answered all of our questions with no hesitation. Very family friendly, and brought out the most of our tour. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Kualoa Ranch was one of the highlights of our Hawaii trip. We booked the 2-hour UTV raptor tour, and it was such a fun way to experience the ranch's incredible scenery. The route takes you through some breathtaking landscapes, with panoramic views of the Ko'olau Mountains and the ocean. It's easy to see why so many movies and TV shows have been filmed here - every stop feels like a postcard. Along the way, our guides, Iven and Van, were knowledgeable, friendly, and always happy to answer questions while sharing stories about the ranch's history and famous filming locations. A couple tips: it gets very hot during the summer, and the trails can be quite dusty, so wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty. It's all part of the adventure! Overall, this was an unforgettable experience and one I'd highly recommend to anyone visiting Oahu. Just be sure to book your tour early, as popular time slots tend to sell out in advance. read more

I have seen the ranch several times but did not have a chance to visit until now. I am glad we got a chance to come. Jurassic Park has always had a place in my heart since the movie premiered and a big place in our family's heart since we started hanging out at Universal and taking the kids to see the Jurassic World movies. We love dinosaurs. So the Jurassic tour was the one I selected. There are so many tours to pick it was super had to narrow it down to just one which was a good thing because even being here half the day is a lot in the sun. Other tours that looked enticing were the movie tour, the ATV tour and zipline tour. Maybe we will do another one in the future. I love the beautiful ranch. There is so much land and so many photo opps. The tours are very popular, so when the site says they sell out, it is true, I made sure to book from home in advance and many of the times were gone, and most of the tours seemed to be at capacity. I also saw a comment about not picking people up from another customer. On the website they do have a spot to get picked up from certain areas. We were on the Waikiki beach strip and caught a ride from their bus both ways. I would suggest calling them direct, the were helpful in telling me the nearest spot since I had originally picked a farther stop and they helped me adjust it to the hotel next door, thank goodness! An overall nice time. They gave us plenty of time for photos. They helped by taking picture for guests, made silly and fun dino videos with a toy dino and pointed out all of the fun spots. I even got to pass the Skull Island bones even though we did not stop, but I had wanted to at least see it in person, goal accomplished. So many movies and shows I watch have been filed here, including Monarch and Lilo and Stitch, which I am also a fan of both. We loved both the nature and the movie magic of the area. I loved seeing their cattle and horses. Things that were a bit confusing. They told us to check in to certain areas. I would go talk to the people, give my name and check in then relax, only to be told right before the tour I did not check in the correct spot and that it was in the email. They literally sent seven emails, first of all, and second when I tried to check in why did you say I had to go to a different spot. It did not affect us in the end, but it was annoying. Then same with happened going home on the bus. I was told to check in with a lady. I gave her my name, she said okay and sat us down. When the bus arrived he said I had to see that same lady I check in with. She sent me literally to the end of the line to check in again! Why did she not tell me she did not check me in the first time? Don't know, it did not affect us in the end, but why so disorganized twice? Maybe a bit more communication or next time I will quadruple check that I am check in properly. I like that they had a lot of cold drinks that were not too much more than an ABC store, since it was very hot out there, but I feel like their food and souvenir game could be better. I know they are a ranch, but it is a missed opportunity to have more and better options. The souvenir shop had very cheap quality products. If I were them, I would have had a bigger shop, with higher quality material, separated into each type of tour, like a better dino area, a better movie area, etc...I did get one child some dino gummies and one wanted a sweatshirt and my husband found a hat, but we would have bought more if they had more ranch branded items. I also would have liked to have seen more little props for photo opps in the movie areas. Some places only had a tiny sign. Just a few more would have been great. Overall the trip was from about 7 AM to about 2 PM. So this is a great way to spend a half day on the island. read more

Our guide, Iven, did a great job! He was knowledgeable, personable, and helping us have a great experience. The scenery was breathtaking! I can see why this is a preferred site for so many tropical movies. No picture could capture the beauty of what we saw today. The speaker system on the UTV left much to be desired. We had difficulty hearing and understanding our guide while driving due to the muffled sound from the speaker, coupled with the sound of our car. We did not have issues understanding him when the car was stopped. The scheduling process was a nightmare with repeated unexplained cancellations before we were able to finally lock in the reservation. Customer Service did apologize repeatedly and gave us a 25% discount for our trouble. The on-site dining option was nice. We took advantage of eating lunch before our tour. This venue has the potential to be a five star visit. If the audio situation was fixed, and the upfront booking situation was fixed it would've been a five star experience. read more

We booked Kualoa Ranch back in December for our honeymoon and were really looking forward to the experience. Unfortunately, our rental car pickup was delayed, causing us to miss our scheduled tour time. We called as soon as we realized we would be late and asked if we could be moved to another tour later that day or even another day, but we were told no. As a result, we lost the entire $300 we had paid, and we weren't offered even a partial refund or any accommodation. Considering Kualoa Ranch is about an hour from Waikiki, it would also be helpful if they offered transportation for guests for ALL tours. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience, especially during our honeymoon. Unfortunately, I can't recommend spending your money here based on how our situation was handled. read more

Absolutely beautiful! Kualoa Ranch offers some of the most spectacular views on Oʻahu. I came for the scenery and left with hundreds of photos! Kualoa Ranch is even more beautiful in person than in pictures. The mountains are massive, the air feels fresh, and every view looks like a postcard. The natural beauty alone makes the trip worthwhile. One of my favorite experiences on Oʻahu! Check out my video: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8sF5nNC/ read more

We did the UTV raptor ride along tour. I'm glad we picked this. We didn't have to worry about driving and we got a personalized narrated tour. The guides would occasionally point things out over the loud speakers along the way, but we ended up having a nice conversation with our guide. She pointed things out that not everyone got to hear. 2 hours was just long enough. Would definitely try a different tour. read more

Kualoa Ranch - Tours Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

If you do only ONE thing while visiting Oahu then this should be the thing. Besides the beautiful views on the Ranch they have such a great history. You can do the standard movie tour and see the literally hundreds of movies and TV shows filmed there or explore a bit more on your own with their ATV tour or horseback tour. Everything is reasonably priced and our guide was fantastic. So much knowledge of history, filming, wildlife and lore. All done without a script in sight. There is a bunker built for WW2 that was never really used but now houses movie memorabilia from the many productions on the ranch. Staff everywhere was super friendly and be sure to check out ALL of the buildings as they offer food souvenirs and even a shop with meat and products from the ranch itself. read more

Kualoa Ranch - Tours Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

My biggest recommendation is look online to investigate what kind of tour you want to do. Each experience is different. Investigating also the availability is important, if you just show up, you maybe waiting for the next tour window to open up. I went with my sister and we chose the Movie Sites and Ranch tour. The whole tour was an hour and a half. The cost was $60 We booked it with our hotel, so they gave us the availability window. The bus was open window, make sure you wear sunblock and you are dressed accordingly, the bus took us on the trail with great views. The best park was the scenes from the film. Jurassic park is a classic, Kong: Skull island was amazing to see in person. After our tour we checked out the gift shop. They have all sorts of souvenirs. If you like adventure this is a great experience to book. read more

If you're visiting Oahu, Kualoa Ranch is an absolute must-do. Every time we find ourselves on the island, we make it a point to come back and try a different excursion and it never disappoints. Whether it's the farm tour, ATVs, e-bikes, or even visiting the secret beach, every experience has been fun, unique, and incredibly well run. The setting alone is worth it you're surrounded by some of the most breathtaking natural beauty on the island, with views that are easily among the best in Oahu. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and there's even a chance you'll stumble upon a movie being filmed, which adds a little extra excitement to the day. This time around, we did the e-bike tour (novice level). Even though it's labeled beginner-friendly, I'd say it can still be a bit of a workout. I consider myself pretty athletic, and there were definitely moments where I had to push myself. That said, it just made the experience more rewarding. They do have you complete a practice run beforehand to make sure you're comfortable handling the bikes, which is reassuring. Our tour guide was fantastic and really made the experience enjoyable. As a bonus, we even got to catch a glimpse of the next Jumanji movie being filmed, which was such a cool surprise. We can't say enough good things about Kualoa Ranch. It's one of those places that keeps you coming back, and it absolutely deserves a spot on your Oahu itinerary. read more

Kualoa Ranch - Tours Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

Wow this place is massive and so much bigger than what pictures show. Everything is green and lush and majestic. Even the drive getting here was phenomenal. We booked the 8:45am UTV Raptor Tour 2 hours. They ask to get there 30 min early which gives you time to park, go to ticket booth to show QR code to get paper slip, and walk to your designated tour and notice the horses! They gear you up with a free face dust cover neck thing, helmet, and goggles (or use your sunglasses). After the safety course, you walk to the UTVs lined up and they take one of those souvenir photos you can buy at the end which we did for $20! The UTV tour is very chill and mild ride. I would say this is beginner level. The ride was so chill I was hoping for more bumpy rocky areas that I'm used to! I compare this to a scenic golf cart ride with dust. I definitely recommend both people to drive and switch at one of the four stops as driving was low risk with minimal rocky areas. The stops include the movie scenes so you don't need to book the movie tour. Everything was beautiful and the guides gave great info about the views and movie sets etc. We had a great time! read more

Our anniversary at Kualoa Ranch turned out even more special than expected. Under perfect weather, we skipped intense activities and took a relaxing trolley history tour ended up being just the two of us. It felt like a private experience with our driver sharing exclusive stories and taking tons of photos for us. There was even a movie crew on-site, adding a subtle buzz and a behind-the-scenes vibe. Food didn't disappoint either--the chicken wrap was a standout again, and we stocked up on local ingredients to take home. Beyond the activities, this place truly delivers nature, food, and unforgettable moments all in one. クアロア・ランチで迎えた記念日は、想像以上に特別な1日に。快晴の中、あえてアクティビティは控えてトロリーでのんびり歴史ツアーへ。まさかの貸切状態で、ドライバーからディープな話を独占で聞ける贅沢体験に。写真もたっぷり撮ってくれて、まるで専属ガイド付きのプライベートツアー！さらにこの日は映画クルーも出入りしていて現場は少しザワザワ。でもその"裏側感"も含めて非日常が倍増。食も抜かりなし。お気に入りのチキンラップは今回も大当たり、ローカル食材もがっつり購入。アクティビティだけじゃない魅力が詰まった、心も体も満たされるハワイ屈指のネイチャースポット！ read more

I did the UTV tour with my boyfriend two years ago, it was so beautiful and scenic. We did get pretty muddy/dirty though but all worth it.

Highly recommend them as your zipline guides. read more

I visited Kualoa Ranch during my recent trip to Hawaii. The ranch is HUGE! There is plenty of free parking available. I have two young kids so I was looking for a family friendly tour and so I picked the Movie Sites & Ranch Tour. Upon arrival, I went to the checkin area and saw others lined up trying to purchase same day tickets, but I saw alot of them were marked as sold out. If you plan to visit, I suggest booking ahead of time if you don't want to risk a tour being unavailable. After checkin, we lined up for our tour. Before hopping on the bus, we had our photo taken which are available for purchase at the end of the tour. Our tour was for 90 minutes. The open bus allows for beautiful views without alot of walking. As mentioned earlier, the ranch is HUGE and if we had to walk it to see all the sites there was so way our young kids would have been able to handle it. Our tour guide was Isaiah. He was great about pointing out great views, giving fun facts and throwing in a few jokes for some laughs on the bus ride. After the tour we stayed on the ranch for lunch. We ordered the Loco Moco and an Acai Bowl. The food was soooo good! Fresh ingredients cooked/prepared right on the ranch. The kids loved it! Overall, I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience at Kualoa Ranch. The staff are wonderful, food is delicious and tours are thoughtfully planned and executed. I loved my experience so much that I am definitely planning to return on my next trip to Hawaii to try another tour experience. If you are undecided about visit Kualoa Ranch, do yourself a favor and make the trip here :) read more

Our group booked the Jurassic tour at Kualoa Ranch. The check in was easy and organized. The guide Trevor, while cracking bad "uncle" jokes, did a great job, I appreciated his photo taking. The highlight was turning on the Jurassic Park score. Our tour goes through the valley, and does note the sites of the many movies filmed here, but the stops for our tour focused on the Jurassic franchise. The ranch offered several different tours including horse back and biking, and zip lining. It was rainy during our tour, they do not cancel based on weather, but we still fully enjoyed it. read more

We absolutely LOVED our Jungle Expedition Tour and it was the perfect length for our 6 year old. Since he's never watched Jurassic Park movies we figured the Jurassic Adventure Tour might be a bit longer and over his head for him so we opted for the Jungle Expedition Tour and we are so glad we did! Our tour guide Zan was super knowledgeable and kind. Highly recommend listening to the reservation recommendation of arriving 45 minutes early because once you arrive, you do need to check in specifically at the ticketing counter, which may seem confusing because you already booked online. The line can be long especially at peak tourist season. We moved quite quickly through the line though. The Jungle Expedition Tour was bumpy but in a super fun way that our 6 year old enjoyed. It was filled with lots of information from our guide about Hawaiian history and culture and ended at a Jurassic World movie set! Even though our kid has never seen the movies, he still enjoyed the prop dinosaurs. The gift shop goodies were surprisingly reasonably priced and of course we came home with a stuffed dinosaur! Also recommend closed toed shoes even on the tours where it's mostly in a vehicle because you do walk around the grounds where it can get dusty and pebbly. read more

Kualoa Ranch - Jungle Expedition Tour - Tours Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

Kualoa Ranch is a 4,000-acre private nature reserve and working cattle ranch on Oahu, famous as a filming location for movies like Jumanji, Lost, Kong-Skull Island, Jurassic World, Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom and my personal childhood favorite- Jurassic Park, earning it the nickname "Jurassic Valley". It offers numerous tours and activities, including ATV rides, horseback riding, ziplining, and movie site tours, set against a backdrop of lush valleys, cliffs, and beaches, while also serving as a significant cultural and agricultural site with ancient Hawaiian fishponds and sustainable farming. This was definitely one of the BIG highlights of our Hawaii trip. Our family enjoyed the jungle expedition from start to finish. Guides were knowledgeable. Staff were friendly and helpful. The photo ops and views were spectacular! Overall, we had a fun and engaging experience! This adventure tour is an absolute MUST if you're visiting Oahu. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for some adventure! read more

Kualoa Ranch is gorgeous so be prepared to take lots of pics haha. The view of the mountain and oceans is amazing. The UTV Raptor tour was the highlight of my trip! Highly recommend visiting Kualoa Ranch and doing this popular tour! The land is ginormous and offer sooo many different tours. I'll def come back and book one of the tour activities for horseback riding and zip-lining. The UTV tour is two hours long and you can either self-drive the UTV or book one with the tour guide. Each UTV has enough room for up to 6 people I believe. We paid $162.79 per person. They make you arrive 45 min beforehand but we showed up 25 mins beforehand and it was fine. You check in with the folks behind the counter and then they'll lead you to the area with the numbered table benches. They still made us wait for the group before us to leave before we even could line up by those tables. Once you check in, they give you a neck scarf (which you can keep) and try on helmets and goggles. You can bring your own goggles or wear sunglasses too. They make you sign waivers and also check your IDs if you're driving. Each time slot has up to 10 groups and you drive in a line, stopping at about 3-4 stops. Our tour guides were awesome and very knowledgeable in telling us facts about the different film stops. I'm a big movie/ TV show fan so it was really cool seeing some of these places in person! They had infamous sets from Jurassic World, Jumanji, King Kong, etc. They gave us plenty of time to check out some of the stops and take pictures. They're also really nice and offered to take multiple pics for us, including one with a big dinosaur in the background (they carry a dinosaur toy for these pics lol). Make sure you book in advance because they fill up the time slots quick! You will get dirty from the UTV drive so I recommend wearing something that you don't mind getting messy. Also bring a mask or wear their neck scarf so you don't breathe in the dust. At the beginning of the tour, they take your picture and then sell printed copy as a souvenir at the end for $20. They have a food court, gift shop, and bathrooms inside. There's also plenty of parking which is a plus! read more

We Came for the Ranch... and Never Saw It... While considering purchasing an Oahu Go City Pass, we noticed that several Kualoa Ranch activities were eligible for redemption. Because Kualoa Ranch has been on our Oahu bucket list for multiple visits, we decided to purchase the pass specifically so we could experience the Garden Tour. We booked the tour expecting to explore the iconic ranch grounds, gardens, and landscapes that make Kualoa so well known. Unfortunately, the experience did not match the expectations set by the website description. Kualoa's website describes the Garden Tour as: "Our Kualoa Grown Tour takes you on a journey through Hakipuʻu makai, where the past and present meet across working farms, cultural landscapes, and iconic film locations. Guests will explore lush tropical fruit and flower gardens, learn about modern sustainable practices at Kualoa, and see how the land continues to nourish our local community..." Based on this, we reasonably believed that the majority of the tour would take place on Kualoa Ranch's main property, with one offsite stop at Mōli'i Fishpond. Instead, not a single portion of the tour occurred on the actual ranch property. The entire experience took place at satellite garden locations, and we saw none of the iconic landscapes, film sites, or signature views we had anticipated. This mismatch between marketing and reality is what made the experience so disappointing. We specifically chose this tour -- and purchased the Go City Pass -- because of how the experience was represented. Had the website clearly stated that the tour is entirely offsite and does not include the main ranch grounds, we would have booked a different tour or likely skipped the Go City Pass altogether. After the tour, I politely shared this feedback at the counter, explaining that we were genuinely sad and felt misled. While the staff member was respectful in her words, her demeanor was noticeably dismissive, and there was no acknowledgment of our disappointment. We were simply told that we'd have to purchase another tour if we wanted to see the ranch -- essentially, that we were out of luck. A little empathy or acknowledgment would have gone a long way, especially for travelers who had carefully planned and budgeted for this experience. To be clear, the tour itself was pleasant for what it was: three stops, three small food samples, a comfortable and scenic trolley ride, and a guide who was kind and knowledgeable. Had we known upfront that the entire experience would be offsite, we likely would have enjoyed it more. Ultimately, the disappointment came from unmet expectations driven by unclear marketing, compounded by unempathetic customer service. Kualoa Ranch is such a highly regarded destination that we expected better clarity and guest care. read more

Kualoa Ranch is a beautiful place to visit, and I come here often whenever I'm on Oahu. I've done the ATV tours and the movie site tour, and my family has also tried the zipline and we've enjoyed every single one. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking and truly reminds you that you're in paradise. The staff is always so friendly, makes you laugh, and adds to the overall fun. I always have a great time chatting with them. This is definitely a must visit because there are so many different experiences to choose from. I find something new to try almost every time I visit. It does get very busy, so be sure to arrive on time for your reservation. There's also a café if you get hungry and a gift shop with lots of fun items to take home as memories. It's an unforgettable experience and one of my favorite places on the island! read more

Kualoa Ranch was such a unique experience. The mountain peaks and valley views were breathtaking, coupled with its historical significance to O'ahu, made it a must-visit destination. The ranch is famously known as a filming location for iconic movies like Jurassic Park, King Kong, and Jumanji, just to name a few. Kualoa Ranch provides a variety of activities and tours to suit different interests. My husband booked us a 2-Hour UTV Raptor Tour. Upon checking in, we were provided with helmets, goggles, and a scarf to protect us from the dust. Our knowledgeable guides, Shaydan and Ava, shared great insights about each location along our tour. They even offered to take our pictures and didn't rush us along the way. My husband and I took turns driving the UTV, switching at each site. While 2 hours may seem like a short time, it was more than enough to explore and experience everything our tour had to offer. We thoroughly enjoyed our adventure and highly recommend Kualoa Ranch to anyone seeking a memorable and authentic experience! read more

We've known so many people who recommend visiting Kualoa Ranch so we made it a must visit for our trip. We booked the tours on the website easily. We showed up and checked in for 1st tour, the movie site tour. The Movie Site and Ranch tour is 90 minutes long and website says suitable for all ages. We rode in an open air bus and saw some amazing views. We visited different filming locations through out the ranch, from Lost, 50 First Dates, Kong Skull Island, Finding Ohana, and more. Each spot had a poster indicating which movie. You also learn some history about the WWII army bunker which was really interesting. The ride gest bumpy at times but not horrible. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, funny, and very friendly. At the bone site stop, he gladly took pictures for us. We also did the ocean voyage tour, which you board a bus to take you to the pond. The boat takes you around Moli'i fishpond and then to Secret Island. Then from secret island you take a catamaran into Kaneohe Bay. The fishpond tour gets very hot depending on the time of day, and you're just sitting in the sun. I recommend lots of sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses. The ocean catamaran tour was great with beautiful views of the island. Be mindful that it can get really, really choppy. We were lucky enough to see some turtles too. The tour guide was also amazing and hilarious. She also took some great pics of us. Staff are also kind and helpful. There's a gift shop too with lots of stupendous, and a quick service food available. Highly recommend visiting Kualoa Ranch. It's beautiful just walking around and every tour has something to offer. read more

We did the half-day tour (water + movie sites) and it ran from about 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM. It also includes an all-you-can-eat buffet, which was nice. If you're not taking their transportation, try to get there around 9:45. Showing up at least 30 minutes early helps a lot--gives you time to park, check in and grab your wristband, maybe pick up snacks, and hit the restroom before it starts. Tours run rain or shine, so come prepared. A poncho or umbrella is a good idea (they sell them at the market if you forget), especially in the spring. The water tour was fun. You take a small boat to secret island, then hop on a catamaran and head out into the water. You get the most breathtaking view of the mountains, you can't beat it! The buffet was solid--not amazing, but good enough. They had chicken, tofu, chili, ribs, and rice, salad, and juice. It's all you can eat, so you can get as much or as little as you want. The movie sites tour was neat, and it gave us a little taste of what we want to come back and see next time. These tours book up months ahead, so plan early if you're thinking about going! read more

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLACE. Was able to do the UTV experience and Ziplining! We enjoyed both experiences thanks to our wonderful tour guides!

Welcome to....Jurass.... Kualoa Ranch! It's much more than visiting movie sites! There's an Ocean Voyage Tour, farm tour, Secret Island Beach activities, horseback tour, e-bike, UTV, and zip lining. Living in Oahu, this was my first time partaking in Kualoa Ranch activities. There was a special 30% discount for Kama'aina last month, which was great! The regular discount is 15%. I recommend purchasing tickets online and also look for special promo codes. Kualoa Ranch is located in Ka'a'awa along Kamehameha Hwy. It's about an hour drive from town. Parking is aplenty! The gift shop was nice with many items, including a special 175th Anniversary Aloha Shirt. There was also a food court to grab a bite to eat. Through the gift shop, you can head over to the ticket counter purchase tickets or check in (show your local ID if applicable). From there, you'll be directed to where you need to go for your tour to check in again. We did the zip lining tour (also a first for me). It's one of the more pricier options, but well worth it. 7 zip lines with the longest of a quarter mile. Tour starts with a 20 minute bus ride to the zip line starting point. You pass by many landmarks, former military sites, and movie locations. That's already like a tour in itself as the driver was explaining everything in detail. I never knew this ranch was used as a temporary military base after the Pearl Harbor attack and the Kualoa Beach Park was used as an airfield. When you reach the base camp, you'll be introduced to your guides and geared up! Yes, the helmet and harness can reek of sweat, which is kinda gross. Bring some Lysol! They do spray it down after it's worn, but might need something stronger. The first zip line is the shortest, but it's definitely a nice introduction for first timers. After the 2nd and 3rd, you're more comfortable. Then it's already time for the longest line lol, which was fun! Our guides were awesome, DJ, Ha'o, and Kaulana. Their directions were clear and easy to understand. Professional, upbeat, good energy, a hilarious, and just make it a fun experience. Trying to get the Kukui nut into the bucket was fun. Need to brush up on my physics lol. Overall, an amazing experience. Our guides and all the staff that assisted us were very friendly. Everything was very well taken care of. The zip line station and cables all looked very sturdy and safe. I'll definitely come back to do other tours. And I wouldn't mind zip lining again! read more

Kualoa Ranch was absolutely amazing! We did three tours and each one was such a great experience. Exploring the movie set locations was so cool, the jungle expedition was exciting, and the garden tour was beautiful and relaxing. All of our tour guides were fun, engaging, and had great personalities, which made the experience even better. You can really tell they love what they do. So much passion!! I would highly recommend Kualoa Ranch to anyone visiting Hawaiʻi. One tip: it can rain randomly, so be prepared with a poncho or umbrella just in case. Totally worth it and unforgettable! Our tour guides were Sam, Anna Marie and Shellsey and Laka! I'll definitely be coming back one day! read more
