Hear commentary from your guide about the impressive list of films that have been shot throughout this landscape, such as "50 First Dates", "Tears of the Sun", and "Pearl Harbor", and TV shows such as "Lost" and "Hawaii Five-O". See where a dinosaur chase took place in "Jurassic Park" and take a picture of Godzilla’s giant footprint.

Soak up the stunning views as you pass the iconic green backdrop of Ko’olau Range.

At the end of your tour, your guide will bring you back to your original departure point at the ranch.

gigi_c, May 2026
Very bad experience, we were denied entry as we arrived at 2:20 for 2:20 ride, the customer service at the ranch and Viator refused to make any accommodation by rescheduling us on a trip later in the day which they could have very well done if they wanted to but adamantly refused. Will try if we can not to use viator in the future.

Our guide was Great ! ...

Craig_J, May 2026
Our guide was Great ! Very informative and funny ! Views were spectacular and it was neat to see how many movies were made there.

Worth a second trip

Linda_B, May 2026
Our tour guide was very informative and hilarious. He and another staff member to the time to take funny pictures with the dinosaurs. The views were absolutely gorgeous. We are from Texas and we were planning our trip this was a must on our list. It was well worth the price.

Perfect for family

Nahyan_H, Apr 2026
This was great for us as a family as we are traveling with both young children and senior citizens. The tour was informative and entertaining. The 1.5hr duration was perfect for us. Highly recommend for families or even couples/individuals .

Movie magic

Kenneth_L, Apr 2026
Experience seeing some sights from famous movies. Mostly sites rather than memorabilia. The bunker was interesting.

Great Family Adventure—The Kualoa Ranch

Nathaniel_P, Apr 2026
The Kualoa Ranch Jurassic Park and Movie Set Adventure who? I’ll tell you who—The Peace Family! Our Kualoa Ranch trip turned out to be the real blockbuster. It opened with moody Hawaiian rain — Mom and Dad sighed, “Great, of all the days we get the two-hour drizzle tour, let’s purchase the $3 plastic poncho” but the rain bowed out like polite extras—couldn’t have been more perfect. The guide/ads (okay, the whole setup) pitched the place perfectly and sucked us in — epic, goofy, and totally cinematic. We wandered through prime like dino-real-estate, my wife and I reminisced about our 50 First Dates and we even posed for heroic photos next King Kong’s Skull Island, and practiced our best “run like a raptor” faces (no actual raptors, thankfully). Movie buffs, families, and anyone who likes scenery with a side of storytime: this is the outing you didn’t know you needed. Pack a poncho, a sense of wonder, and dramatic music on your phone—if you visit Hawaii The Kualoa Ranch is for you!

Absolutely awesome...

Jessica_P, Apr 2026
Absolutely awesome experience! I would definitely do it again and maybe bring the whole family along next time

Perfect for a family

Sandeep_S, Apr 2026
Perfect. Don’t miss the tour. Rain or shine, go for it. The tour covers major portion of the ranch. Food is good at ranch too.

Beautiful adventure

Nora_N, Apr 2026
Great tour. Lots of nostalgia. Beautiful views and knowledgeable tour guides. Made some great memories with my family!

Great place to visit

REBECCA_R, Apr 2026
It was very enjoyable. Our tour guide was fantastic. The Kualoa Ranch is a magical place. The ocean and the mountains spectacular. It was amazing to find out how many movies or scenes were filmed on the ranch. I just wish instead of a sign saying this movie was filmed here it had something more. The skull island area was amazing. The bunker was awesome and got to see some Jurassic Park things wish it was more. We weren't able to book the Jurassic Adventure Tour. If this is something you want to do book in advance. There's so much to do. You won't be disappointed.

Really interesting!...

Heather_L, Apr 2026
Really interesting! Definitely worth the time and money. It was a beautiful drive through the countryside as well.

Movie sites tour recommended

Meghan_M, Apr 2026
Fun tour of some popular movie and TV filming sites. Guide was funny and helpful with pictures. Would recommend this tour. Not too long for kids with limited attention span.

None

Aliasger_G, Apr 2026

Amazing

Julie_C, Apr 2026

Camarillo family

Roxanne_w, Apr 2026
Our tour guide was excellent , people friendly and patient with the little ones. Gave us so much information about the Hawaiian culture and the respect for their land. Especially appreciated her knowledge about all the movies that were actually taken here at the ranch. This was one of my most favorite and memorable tour stops. MAHALO !!!

Breathtaking experience, with an amazing tour guide!

Worth the Price

Betsy_B, Mar 2026
Beautiful landscapes throughout the ranch deep into the valleys that you cannot see from the main visitor's center. Great tour with a wonderful tour guide. The movie locations were a bonus.

Fantastic movie prop tour.

Emma_L, Mar 2026
The tour was a great experience and fun. It was very educational about all the movies that were filmed there. The tour guide (sorry cant remember her name but was awesome) shared a lot of movies about the native ppl / history that true stories. I would strongly recommend the tour.

Quick an easy tour.

Jay_N, Mar 2026
Quick tour, good if you're on a tight schedule. Primarily a bus ride with 2 stops to take pictures etc. Main attraction is obviously the scenery, bus tour is just a means to get to the photo opportunity locations.

It was ok...

Paul_W, Mar 2026
It was good, it was very neat, very beautiful, just not what I was expecting. I definitely could have lived without seeing and hearing about the "pigery." That was kind of awful. I'm glad I did it and I loved our tour guide Sam, but just seemed like a truck driving in circles with not much to see. I would not do it again and probably wouldn't really recommend it either.

Isaiah and Kualoa rock

Joseph_K, Mar 2026
My youngest son is infatuated with Jurassic World. He was so thrilled to experience areas where they filmed, see some of the props and just live in the moment. Tour guide Isaiah was phenomenal and perfect for our journey.
