This video is for informational purposes only. It is based on our experience taking 8 adults on the Kulaoa Ranch UTV tour.
The information presented was true at the time we made this video but as always, please do your own research as things may have changed.
We show you the location on the island, how long it takes to get there, where to park and the entrance. We tell you where the bathrooms are, the check in process and we show you what the tour was like for us. We booked the tour online through the Kualoa website and we give you some tips on how to do that with a larger group, like ours.
Our opinions are our own. We paid full price for our tickets and we don't receive any discounts or compensation of any kind.
We loved this tour and it turned out even better than we had hoped for. The pictures and video just can't do it justice.
Thank you for watching our videos. Please like and subscribe so we are able to make more. Your subscription really helps us out so thank you for that! 😊
We are also on TikTok and Instagram @NewTravelEscapes
Mahalo!

Thank you for the video, we will be on Oahu in April 2024. They say not to ride the UTVs with back or neck problems. The roads do seem bumpy, but not like extreme off-roading bumpy. They don't appear any worse than an average mid-western dirt or gravel farm road. Does that assessment seem about right? Did you feel any pain from the ride?

Hi! Since we made that video we have been back to do the zip-line. We noticed that parts of the UTV trail are actually now paved. It was not extreme off-roading, in my opinion. I agree, similar to a farm road. A bit bumpy here and there but you never go more than 15 mph and much much slower than that over the bumpy parts. 😜 You do whatever you are most comfortable with, of course. But if it helps to know, we took my 81 year old parents on the UTV's, they were fine and they loved it. 😊 Hope that helps ☺️

@@newtravelescapes Thank you for the response, it does help! We may have sore backs and necks, but no worse than most people. We are still active, take long road trips, go on easy hikes and navigate the terrible Illinois pot holes on a daily basis. I think we'll be fine for the UTV ride! 😃

Thanks for the video. How far in advance would you recommend booking? Also, do they stop during the tour for photos?

@newtravelescapes Жыл бұрын

Hi! I would book it as far out in advance as you can. It sells out quickly. Depends on your group size, of course. 2 people will be far easier to squeeze into the schedule than 8. We booked about 3 months in advance for 8 people. You can cancel your reservation if your schedule changes. They stopped 3 times, during the tour, for us to get out and take pictures.

They note on their website that a valid driver's license is required and must be presented at check-in. Do they accept Canadian driver's licenses?

Yeppers, we had no problem with Canadian drivers licenses. 🙂

How many times did you get to stop to take pictures? Are there any spots from the original Jurassic Park ?

@newtravelescapes Жыл бұрын

The utv tour doesn't really focus on the movies. The movie tour would have much more on the movie sites. I believe we stopped 3 times for picture opportunities.

Do they speak to you and tell you what you are seeing as you drive?

@newtravelescapes 8 ай бұрын

Not as you drive along rather there are a number of stops along the way to get out of the UTV and they tell you stories about the history and explain the different things you are seeing or will be seeing. I felt they explained the area well without stopping and starting all the time.

If there’s two of you, are you able to switch who drives?

@newtravelescapes Жыл бұрын

You sure are 😃 and they are very good at telling you when is a good time to switch (About half-way through the tour.) Remember to show both of your drivers licenses when you check in so you each have a wrist band and you're good to go. Have fun! We are booked to try the ziplining in February. I'm going to try and make a video about that adventure as well.

did you stop by the dinosaur in the cage? or did you jsut drive by?

Which one? There are several spots with dinosaurs and props that we stopped at but not as many as are on the movie tour. 🙂

Do you know of any coupons? Is he hard to find? Is 2 hours enough time?

@newtravelescapes Жыл бұрын

I wasn't able to find any coupons, myself. Kualoa ranch is well marked and not hard to find. 2 hrs on the utvs was a good time. We saw a lot but didn't feel rushed.

@user-fi1bm4xq5d 11 ай бұрын

Is it 145/person or per UTV?

@newtravelescapes 11 ай бұрын

The price is per person. I would suggest keeping it to 2 people per UTV because that is the minimum per vehicle allowed. Unless the people in the rear seat are kids it would be more fun up front. 😊

@toyotahontas9296 6 ай бұрын

The tour guide does the driving? You can’t drive yourself?

@newtravelescapes 6 ай бұрын

Your tour guides lead the group on their own UTVs. One in front and one at the back. You drive your own UTV but you have to follow the group around the valley, not go off on your own. Hope that makes sense. 😊

@@newtravelescapes Oh good. So is it possible to rent one UTV for a family of four? Two adults, one 20 year old and one 12.

@newtravelescapes 6 ай бұрын

@@toyotahontas9296 yeppers 😊 but they charge you per person NOT per vehicle. We choose to have one parent and one child /young adult per vehicle and booked 2 UTVs. Better views for everyone.

How did you get to the ranch from Waikiki

@newtravelescapes 8 ай бұрын

You can rent a car and drive it yourself. It is about 40 miles. Add plenty of extra time for traffic. OR Transportation is available directly from Kuala (for select tours only) for an additional $30 per person+tax.

@erickuntz9045 Жыл бұрын

I can have 6 in one ATV correct?

@newtravelescapes Жыл бұрын

They hold between 2 and 6 depending on whether they are small kids or not. 4 adults is tight. You pay per person regardless of whether you have two people per utv or 6 squished into one vehicle.
