What To Expect

Your tour will begin at the 4,000-acre (1,619-hectare) Kualoa Ranch, situated on the northern coast of Oahu. Hop aboard a vintage bus with your guide to explore the expansive cattle ranch.

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 like Lost and Hawaii Five-O. See where a dinosaur chase took place in Jurassic Park and take a picture of Godzilla’s giant footprint.

Then, you’re off to Kaneohe Bay, Mokoli’i Island and the stunning mountains of Ko’olau Range, all of which were formed after the Ko’olau volcano erupted over 2.5 million years ago. The sparkling waters of Kaneohe Bay are also where Johnny Depp sailed aboard Queen Anne’s Revenge in Pirates of the Caribbean 4. 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.

Traveller Tips

Great tour but call the ranch directly and if you have time do one of their packages.

We were told to make sure to be here at least 30mins early to check in, well we gave ourselves plenty of time since we had pre-purchased the movie tour.

The place is far from Waikiki but they provide shuttle to and fro.

The tour was fun and informative. Zach was a great tour guide. Seeing all of the props and movie sets was very fun. Plus, there was a surprising amount of agricultural and historical fun facts sprinkled throughout the tour. Great for families with children and movie fans.

Fun!

This was the best tour we went on. Beautiful views and scenery. Really interesting commentary from the tour guide, who was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. Such a fantastic trip, well worth the money.

Awesome

Jose_S, Sept 2023

The whole trip was just breathtaking!! Would do it all over again , we have already told our friends about the experience we had some are already planning on do it on the next trip here

A very nice tour. But bring a face mask

Anasofia_V, Sept 2023

A cool experience! The tour guide was so full of knowledge, the driver was also amazing. The storie/s, places were so nice! The only thing that was a con (and I’m saying this very friendly to help them to improve), was the dust. So so so much dust. If I knew that before coming, I’d def had bring a face mask. I have Ashtma and unfortunately that 1:30 yesterday of continuous dust got me ill today. So maybe advise on the purchases through their email that the tour is very dusty due their location and everyone should bring a face mask or purchase one from your store. Or even give the people an option to buy as an add-on when paying for the trip.
