Kualoa Ranch Raptor Adventure Tour

My family of 3 visited for the Jurassic Park experience. My son loves the movie. Purchased tickets straight through the park's website which also gives you connection to transportation. While you wait there is a history museum, you can pet the horses, if they let you. Visit the store & they have a place where you can buy meat and homegrown food. Our guide was "Penny" Penelope. She was great. Very knowledgeable & shared a lot about the ranch as well as everything Jurassic. She made sure everyone had photos & she brought along her dinosaurs for that special added touch. There was no bad view & the ranch is gorgeous. Many trips to choose from (that's the hardest part). Enjoy half a day or a whole day....you won't be disappointed.

We did the Ocean Voyage at Kualoa Ranch and had a blast! Incredible views of the giant mountains and island! Our tour guide was so fun, joyful, and hilarious!!! She made it 10x better!! The boat ride was pretty bumpy going out, making it even more of an adventure! Overall, we loved it!!

Absolutely loved the open air bus tour and will return again if we ever visit the island in the future. Val, our tour guide, was AMAZING!!!! She made the whole tour even better. The history of the island we learned was the best part. Her friendly personality, stories from childhood and the way she interacted with us is worth noting. I truly hope the ranch understands what a wonderful employee they have! Ray Ray, the lady who checks people in for tours is also worth a shout out! Note, you’re supposed to check in 30-45 minutes before your tour starts. On a busy day, if you don’t do this, you will miss your out window. I love the way the family who owns this ranch has preserved the culture of the island and honors the land while at the same time creating a memorable tour and experience for people who love movie locations. Definitely fun to watch Jurassic Park after being there and seeing spots we were just visiting. **Purchase tickets 2-4 weeks in advance if you’re wanting to do the more expensive tours.* (Also free parking so yay for that!)

This place was really beautiful. We had a free afternoon and after driving by it a few days prior we decided to pull the trigger and do a tour. We are so happy we did! The scenery was absolutely incredible! And to learn about all the environmental elements and how they grow their produce was really cool. The grounds were very welcoming and there was something for everyone from atvs, side by sides, horseback riding, zip lining, and ocean tours. We chose the movie set tour. I highly recommend it!

Kualoa Ranch was such an amazing experience and definitely one of the highlights of our time on the island. We chose the Jurassic Park Tour, which lasted around 2.5 hours. We got to see some of the main movie sets and stop along the way to take photographs, which was a lot of fun. The tour guides really added depth to the experience, especially with their knowledge of Hawaiian history and the stories behind the land. It made the tour feel like much more than just a movie-location visit. Aside from the movie sets, it was simply beautiful being driven through the lush rainforest and incredible scenery. Kualoa Ranch is a fantastic way to explore this part of the island and appreciate how stunning the landscape is. The main reason I took a star off, however, was the lack of clear information when choosing between the different tours. It was surprisingly difficult to understand exactly what each tour covers, how different the Movie Tour is from the Jurassic Park Tour, what overlaps with the Jungle Tour, and whether the routes are the same or completely different. I think the website and booking information really needs a clearer breakdown of each tour, including the routes, locations visited, movie sets included, and what overlaps between tours. With so many options, it would make choosing the right experience much easier and help visitors know exactly what they are paying for. Overall, we had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend visiting Kualoa Ranch. The scenery, history, guides and experience itself were excellent. The confusing tour information is simply what cost it that final star. Also didn't see the jurrasic valley kualoa ranch signage in the tour as others have seen on thiers - so not sure why the route is different. Customers should all get the same experience with it comes to a mapped out specific tour route!
