- Our second day in Hawaii takes us to Kualoa Ranch for their Half-Day Tour. This is a combination of two tours. We chose the Movie Sites Tour and the Jungle Expedition Tour.
During our tours, we enjoyed sights of the filming locations of popular movies like Jurassic Park, Kong: Skull Island, and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.
In between our tours, we enjoyed a buffet lunch.
After we finished up at Kualoa, we went to Duke's Waikiki for dinner and enjoyed the amenities at our hotel: Holiday Inn Express Waikiki.

It seems like you guys had a lot of fun on these tours and made a lot of fun memories! Glad you had a great trip!!!
It was definitely something we will remember for a really long time.
What awesome tours. I didn't even know they had that. My friend loves Jurassic Park she would just die to be where they filmed.
It was the highlight of our whole trip. I’d repeat that day in a heartbeat.
Happy you got to go to Duke’s, they are known for their hula pie and mai tais 🤙
Soo happy you are here enjoying our HAWAII🏝️
Hope to see you and the ohana when we’re at Disneyland in July!! Would love to meet you all!
I'll be around periodically in July, but unfortunately my family will not as their pass level is blocked out. We intend to upgrade them in August when renewals come around so they can all go during the Summer (usually we just all avoid Disney in the Summer, but the channel is at a point where I can't do that this year).
We looked into upgrading them early, but Disney doesn't prorate the upgrade, and it's just not cost efficient at this point.
@@SoCalDisneyDad AWE, hoping we run into you next month!! If you are still on Oahu, you should check out GIOVANNI’s shrimp truck, Hawaiian food at Waiahole Poi Factory (must try the Sweetv lady of Waihole dessert) and definitely go to Polynesian Cultural Center.
Thanks...really helped me decide. It's the Jungle Expedition Tour for me!
Stunning footage areas wow!!!
Love these vlogs! Mahalo 🤙
We did the Jurassic Tour and it was amazing! You went to a lot of the same spots with both tours you did but yes we were able to get out a lot and take photos at every spot.
Thanks for confirming that!
So totally awesome!!!

I just went there last week with 3 packages tour ( Movie Sites, Jungle Expedition, and Farm). It's definitely worth it. I loved the Jungle expedition the most, especially the one that you had to hike for 5 minutes.
Hi, for the jungle expedition, did you get to stop and get out at the Indominus Rex site, which is the Jurassic world wall with the dinosaur scratches?
@@MV-pq3vn I think that one is in Movie Sites tour
Very informative video . Thank you
Nice video
This is so awesome! I’m loving these videos quick question? Did you guys book all these tours or can you provide some information on that I’d love to do the same things you guys did on our trip there 😊
Yes. We booked all the tours and things we did a la carte. The things we booked were:
1. Tickets to Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum
2. Reservations to go out to the USS Arizona (parking was paid on site, not early)
3. Reservations to hike Diamond Head (plus parking)
4. Kualoa Half-Day package booked ahead of time
5. Toa Luau booked ahead of time (includes access to waterfall and hike, will be in later video)
I believe that was everything we booked ahead of time aside from food reservations and things. Duke's required a reservation. Haleiwa Joe's doesn't do reservations.
@@SoCalDisneyDad thank you so so much for all the information!
Both tours look like so much fun. Are there rest stops (bathroom stops) during the tours? Thanks for sharing :)
No. But there is a lot of time between tours. So plenty of time for breaks during that time. But the 90 minute tour itself has no access to restrooms. It’s only back at the main visitor center area.
Would you just recommend doing the movie sites tour rather than the half day package? Was the movie sites tour enough to see the area and a lot of the movies shot there? Coming there in a few weeks..... Did you go to the bone yard on the Jurassic Tour?
The bone yard is on the Movie Sites Tour. I’m not sure if it is on Jurassic.
I did Movie Sites and Jungle Expedition. I enjoyed Jungle Expedition more than Movie Sites, but we liked the hiking aspect and the more rugged off road part.
However, the Movie Sites will take you to the more iconic valley.
I’m glad we did both, personally, and would probably do it just as we did if we ever got to do it again.
Hi! Great video! Can I use some of your shots in a noncommercial Jurassic Park fanfilm? I will put your name (and/or tag) on all the credits! Let me know, thank you :)
Sure go for it.
Are you guys going to be doing a split stay and going to Aulani?
Yes! The next video will be our check-in day at Aulani.
@@SoCalDisneyDad Hope you all had a great time, it’s such a great resort!!! We are headed there next spring 🌺
Can’t wait to watch your videos on Aulani. You really had some great advice in your videos for our last Disneyland trip a few months ago.
How bumpy was the jungle tour? Did it leave you with bottom and back pains?
Not that kind of bumpy. Just “must wear seatbelt” kind of bumpy.
The seats are nice and we didn’t have any troubles.
We are thinking to visit this ranch this June. Do you think it will get really hot in June? And What activity do you recommend in June?
I have 17,14 year old teens.
thanks
We went mid-May and it was really great temps. I don't think Hawaii fluctuates much with the temperature, so I'm sure June will be great. You will probably encounter some rain as we did, but that's to be expected for how lush and green Hawaii is.
Looks like a fun trip! What is the name of the first hotel you stayed at? The complimentary breakfast looks good!
It was the Holiday Inn Express in Waikiki. The breakfast was very nice each morning.
Thank you
How much was it for each tours and where did you buy them?
It was $400 for a family of 4 to do the Half Day package (two tours, plus lunch).
We purchased it straight through the Kualoa Ranch website.
@@SoCalDisneyDad did you have to book in advance? I was thinking of booking when we get there. Thanks.
@@jennyd5728 We did. The website says advance reservations are highly recommended as they do sell out due to limited availability on tours (there are only so many seats).
KOO OH LAU is how it's pronounced butchered it
So the Kualoa Ranch is pronounced how I pronounce it. Koo-uh-Low-uh.
What you’re thinking of is the Ko’olau Range, which is the range of mountains behind Kualoa.
