Kualoa Ranch, a great expereince The Kualoa Ranch Hollywood movie site tour was everything adverised and more. THe driver for our bus Loni, was fun, energetic and engaging. She took time to make each of out group comfortable and enjoying the tour. She explaine the history of the ranch, the family who owns the property and the various efforts made to be self reliant and responsible to the beauty of the island. Then there was the interesting information on the various tv and movie sites which had taken place tjhrughout the ranch. There was time to explore on our own and she assisted any and all in taking photo's and videos.

Enjoyed Movie Sites Tour We had a lot of fun on the movie sites tour. I believe our guide was Sunshine and she lived up to her name. She was friendly, upbeat and courteous to all guests. She helped with pictures and gave us a lot of information. I particularly enjoyed the Jurassic park photo she took for us. I would recommend this tour.

Great tour with lots to see, learn, and experience. Excellent tour with our guides Gabby and Cesil. They made the tour informative and fun. I am involved in the film world, so this tour was inspiring for me. It was cool actually seeing and standing where actors I admire had stood before. They even take you through a huge military bunker with lots of props, sets, and signs from world War II and movies shot there.

Tour guide was great I really appreciate the tour guide Sunshine as she was explaining everything so good and even took many pictures of us. She did an amazing job with the tour but we stopped only at a couple of locations else we were only in the bus. I know it's no fault of the tour guide but I wish we could stopped a few more stops as the locations and mountains are so beautiful that you would like to capture them. Overall it was a good tour.

Breathing views, rude tour guide, stupid photo taking business The tour featured magnificent valley views and interesting movie sites, but was overshadowed by a racist and rude tour guide (whose name I don't recall; the tour occurred on March 7th at 1:20 PM). When I declined to have my photo taken, he stopped me on my way to the bus, visibly unhappy about my decision; his attitude towards me left me feeling saddened and disrespected. Despite thanking him upon leaving the bus at the end of the tour, he completely ignored me. I'm confused by Kualoa Ranch's commitment to sustainability, considering they enforce photo-taking, resulting in 90% of photos being discarded—is this truly environmentally friendly?

Troppo bello! Una delle esperienze più belle! Ne vale la pena e consiglio di prenotare con anticipo…noi prenotando sul posto il giorno stesso, c’erano solo i posti in autobus ma è stato molto meglio perché quel giorno pioveva! Con la pioggia quei posti assumono un’aria divers…troppo bella!!

Great family day! Went on the half day tour. Catamaran ocean ride lunch and movie tour. We learned so much ! Had a wonderful family day. Lunch was delicious everyone found something they liked. Weather was beautiful. Really is a working ranch. There was a local rodeo competition going on when we arrived so got to see that too! Well worth the money, definitely recommend the tour.

Half day tour including Movie Sites, lunch and Catamaran The Movie Sites tour had just a couple of stops where we were able to exit the bus and take photos. We had previously done the Jurassic Tour and found that one to be far superior, but also much more expensive. The tour was good, no complaints. Just would prefer less agriculture info and more movie site stops. The lunch and catamaran rounded our the day nicely. Thoroughly enjoyed by all in our group!

Excellent Movie Tour! Loved the tour. Lots to see and the guide was very knowledgeable. He brought in lots of history about the ranch and its involvement in WWII. The ranch covers 4000 acres and there is lots of other activities (ATV, zipline, horseback riding, etc) if you have time and money. The only negative was that it was very cool and windy. I didnt plan for that since it was warm at the place we were staying. Note to future tourists: take a jacket/rain jacket and a hat that is snug enough to stay on! They say the tours go on, rain or shine.
