About Kualoa Ranch - 3-Hour Deluxe UTV Ride-Along Tour
Ride with a Kualoa Ranch guide on a 3-hour UTV Raptor tour through valleys, ranch roads, movie sites and scenic lookout areas, with no driving required.
Let someone else take the wheel while you settle in for a closer look at Kualoa Ranch's valleys, mountain scenery and hidden corners. On this three-hour ride-along adventure, your expert guide drives your group of up to four through the ranch's 4,000-acre landscape, leaving you free to enjoy the views, listen to the stories and capture plenty of photos along the way.
The tour reaches sweeping overlooks, famous movie locations and quieter parts of the ranch that many visitors never see. Along the way, your guide shares Hawaiian mo'olelo (legends), behind-the-scenes filming stories, the 175-year heritage of the Judd-Morgan family and the ranching, farming and conservation work that continues across Kualoa today.
Space is limited, making early reservations a good idea for this relaxed, fully guided way to experience the ranch without driving.
