Movie Tour Scam Place was run down and employees were very rude, not to mention the movie tour is a waste of time. They also ask you get there 45 minutes early for no apparent reason other than to your gift shop which was also run down.Not recommended

Don't take the movie tour The tour was supposed to be the Movie airs tour lasting 90 min. The tour was less than 50 min of movie sites.The tour was in a school bus. Our seats were just ahead of the emergency door so we had no window. There were at least 4 people sitting single in seats. I was sitting in the aisle seat so could see nothing out my side. All of the movie signs were right next to the road so I was unable to see those out the other side. I said something to the driver and was told nothing they could do about it. I think there is. Take those seats out. The driver/guide was very informative and I would recommend her anytime. But I could have sat in a lecture hall and gotten the same tour.While some of the information given was very informative, it had nothing to do with movies. Total tour was 70 min.I had taken this same tour a year ago and had Safari trucks. These were great. The your was great. Very disappointed. Maybe green had taken over

Leave Waikiki area - Great for Families We had the tour guide Sunshine on the Movies tour. We booked transportation from Waikiki. I do wish they had talked or given some type of tour during the drive as other places did. All staff at the ranch were fantastic. The food was good and the gift shop had so many options. We wanted to take an earlier shuttle back to town and they were able to accommodate. Also, we booked this last minute, while we were already there - only 2 days beforehand. I highly recommend for families. Get out of Waikiki area and see the other side of the island. It is far cheaper than some parts of the excursion and you get to see China Man's Hat.

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.

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?

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.

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.
