Not bad but not sure it’s worth. We enjoyed this tour but it would be more useful if you rent a buggy and do this yourself. Our guide was talking too much we thought. It was more about US war than hollywood stuff

Beautiful scenery and fun tour The tour was a lot of fun and very informative. Our guide was Vina and she did a great job, you can tell she enjoys her job. The tour lasts about 90 minutes and it can get very hot, so take water with you.

Movie Sites is a Little Lackluster Kualoa Ranch is so beautiful and there's lots to do here if you have the time and the money. Though -- we did the Movie Sites Tour which I'm not sure was my favorite. The tour takes you through pretty pastures, the main valley (breathtaking), and an abandoned WWII bunker. A lot of the film displays, in the bunker and otherwise, are looking a little worse for wear, and I don't think many/any of them are authentic to the productions, instead they seem like cheaper recreations. Either way, there's many photo opportunities which makes this a good tour if you're looking for that. One thing that also felt a bit cheap was that the buses for the movie tour...have no screens.... The tour guide instead described in detail scenes that were filmed at the ranch which did not have the same effect of watching them, especially for many obscure films referenced that no one had seen. Edited film/TV compilations would add so much to this tour, but where it is right now, it's not worth the price. Beautiful valley though, hope to see the improvements made.

Dinosaurs, bones and Lost! The movie sites tour did not disappoint. Our tour guide Nick was not only informative he was fun! He added points of interest and even a few jokes along the way. The best part was seeing the "bones" from Skull Island and he helped take photos that made us look like we were being eaten by a Trex!

Nothing but a lie What a rip off. They really advertise Jurassic Park but the tour only had about 10% to do with Jurassic Park. They really push the animal torture and abuse by bragging also thier ranch. They sugar coat the slaughter process by saying how they fatten up the cows, goats and pigs. They send them away and they come back "packaged". Be honest and just say they are shipped out for slaughter. They also use the word "piggery" instead of being honest and just say pig farm. Sickening place. Never again!

Ruined our trip I was very excited to take this tour with Jurassic park being one of my favourite films. There is no doubt that this scenery is stunning! We set off to go around the park and firstly came upon the bunker which had quite a bit of movie memorabilia inside so off to a good start. After that it was mostly just posters of various films in the spots where scenes took place which was disappointing. All of this was mediocre and I wouldn’t have made a fuss but then came the most AWFUL experience for me and my friend. We were shown around the animals of the farm, shown the babies and told ‘gaining pounds as they are about to be shipped off to be packaged’ one tiny piglet was on the outside of the fence without water or food trying to get back to its mum. Looking in to the eyes of the young calves you could see they had no idea they were about to be ‘packaged’ This wasn’t what I had paid my money for! Ruined my trip.

very poor tour The staff who help you get on the bus and who drive the bus, had a very bad attitude towards me and my family. The tour is pretty poor for what they charge
