Visitor tips

• Understand the valleys before booking: Different tours take place in different valleys; some focus on movies, others on views or adventure.
• Book back-to-back tours with enough time in between: Leave at least 30-45 minutes between activities if switching locations on the ranch.
• Movie Sites Tour is a good first tour: It helps you understand the layout of the ranch and recognize areas you’ll see again during other tours.
• UTV Raptor Tours and Jurassic Adventure Tours: These tours go deeper into Kaʻaʻawa Valley than any other tour, making them ideal for an in-depth exploration of the lands with a movie sightseeing context.
• Use Waikiki-to-Kualoa travel time wisely: Aim to arrive at least 45 minutes early to park, enter, and check in for your tour.
• Secret Island Beach is a half-day in itself: Not recommended to add more than one tour if you’re planning the half-day beach visit in a single day.
• Food court and restrooms are located near the check-in area only: Use the facilities and pick up additional food or snacks in between tours.
