The views of Kualoa and Ko'olau mountains from the ocean are unmatched and the lively historical narration is educational and enjoyable. *Ocean Voyaging tour not available Sundays and Federal Holidays

This 800 year old, 125 acre Hawaiian fishpond, is one of the largest and most well preserved ponds left in Hawaii.

After learning about the origins of Hula, guests will be taught an ancient dance handed down from the 1860s. A fun filled experience of the Ancient Hawaiian Culture!
Legends & Legacy Tour - The lands of Kualoa are historically some of the most sacred on the island of Oahu. There are numerous references to Kualoa in legends and historical accounts as to the importance of this beautiful land. The new Kualoa Legends and Legacy tour journeys through the foothills to the base of the majestic Kualoa cliffs while the guides tell of the legends and stories of the area. This fascinating tour, with its historical factual information, compliments the historical exhibit and an informative video at the ranch. A camera is a must!
Jungle Expedition - Board your 6-wheel drive, Swiss pinzgauer, and get ready for this back-country narrated tour. Your guide will maneuver through isolated stream beds; tackle some rough terrain, before ascending up a hill. Here you may disembark and after a short hike, you will be greeted by one of the most dramatic views of the windward coast line, where lush undeveloped tropical valleys stretch out before you. This is fast becoming our most popular tour.
Movie Sites and Ranch - board ranch buses for a delightful one hour narrated tour across Kualoa Ranch and into gorgeous Ka'a'awa Valley to experience where many of Hollywood's biggest block buster movies and television shows were filmed.

Kualoa Ranch - Kualoa Ranch is an incredibly dramatic and beautiful location found on Oahu’s eastern shore. The ranch is located within one of three side by side valleys that have become famous in recent years for being the site of some of the most famous motion pictures ever made. This exotic local has a number of uses in addition to its movie and television series backdrop. Always with an eye toward environmental issues the ranch has been successfully used over the years as a place for the education of children and adults alike. These educational programs have often been provided at a minimal and affordable price to allow school children from the islands a chance to learn about the importance of the courses they provide. Some of these courses include aquaculture, environmental hiking tours, food sources in ancient Hawaii, fishpond exploration and team building. In addition, Kualoa Ranch provides two different types of tour experiences for Hawaii’s visitors. The two action adventures that are provided are the ATV and the Horseback riding tours. The other tours are referred to as Hawaiian Experience Tours and include a Movie Site and Ranch Tour, a Jungle Expedition, a Hawaiian Fishpond and Garden Tour and an Ocean Voyaging tour out to Secret Island just oceanfront of the property. The days are divided into half and full days. On the half day tour the visitor can choose between either the Horseback or the ATV tour and one of the other Hawaiian Experience Tours and on the full day they can have both the Horseback and the ATV tours along with their choice of two of the Hawaiian Experience Tours. These tours are affordable and transportation can be included from your hotel in Waikiki.

Customer Testimonial

Tom,

Not a question but a compliment. We spoke at length and booked a couple of things through Steve. Not only was he very nice over the phone, everything he suggested was wonderful. Our trip was greatly enhanced by his help.
