    The ranch is beautiful and the food was amazing. Kama did a great job as our driver and your guide. He told us about the history of the ranch and Hawaii in between stops. Mahalo kama we enjoyed the trip and look forward to seeing you on film soon.

    Kualoa Hollywood Movie Bus Tour
    We took the Hollywood Movie Sites Bus tour which is approximately 90 minutes in duration. There are only two stops on the tour. One is at a WWII bunker which houses a lot of information about movies and TV shows filmed on the ranch and the other is at a site with props from the movie, Kong: Skull Island. This is a basic but fun tour and our tour guide, Caleb, was fun and very informative. If you have back problems which all of us do, then this is the tour to take as the others are apparently very bumpy and not recommended for people with back problems. The tour is worth it just for the incredible scenery. It is unbelievable! The Ranch is very well organized and beautiful. Check in was seamless. Definitely go and take a tour!

    WARNING!!! Man-O-War!!!!!
    The views are great, the waves are calm, but if you came with the intention of letting kids play in the water or dig in the sand beware. TONS OF MAN-O-WAR!!!! They were washed up on the beach and in the water. They can still sting when dead. We collected 20-25 of them to clear our beach area, and found that a good handful washed up while we sat in chairs enjoying the view. The bathrooms were filthy. Human feces smeared all over the bathroom doors and toilets. Not the experience we were hoping for. Family of 7 with kids ranging from 16 down to 7

Calm beach and pretty views
May 2023 • Family
The beach was much calmer than areas in Waikiki. It was nice just to sit and take in the views, the rustling of the water, and breezes. There are a few picnic tables but we had brought beach chairs and towels to sit on. Plenty of parking was available the day we were there, and it was worth the drive up there for relaxation and scenery.

Thank you guys for the awesome day and highly recommend the tour to everyone for the beautiful views and history of the lands.

Watchout for the Jellyfish
Nov 2022
Great views, I would give it a better review, but my daughter got stung by a jellyfish. We were killing time waiting to go to Kualoa Ranch and wanted to wade in the ocean. We were there less than 5 minutes and when my daughter got stung by the fish. We went down the road to the fire station and the firefighters took care of the sting. While talking to the firefighters they advised that this beach is one of the worst beaches on the island for being stung by jellyfish.

Pretty
Dec 2022
Went here to see try to get to the tiny island called 'China Mans Hat' right off of the beach. The beach was quiet. There was big sign as we drive in the parking lot saying that Crime is high in the area. A bit unsettling, but there were 3 cop cars parked in the lot so we felt safe enough. The island is far too far to swim to but we could see it clearly. The mountains surrounding the beach were beautiful and green and giant. Beach itself was short and the water was murky that day but the beach was very pretty none the less.
