Well worth a visit. We decided to head to the ranch as we are big movie fans. So much to do from horse riding, ATV’s and open truck tours. Staff were great. All very well organised. For anyone struggling with transport. We decided on an Uber both ways. Checked a few times then committed. Easier and well worth it.

Great tour Great tour and very informative. Also the property itself is beautiful. The drive from Waikiki was also worth it. If you have your one transportation, drive it.

Great horseback ride We did the horseback riding tour. Absolutely amazing!! The guide, Ella I think, was fantastic. It has been a few years since I’ve ridden and my husband hasn’t ridden in 40 years so we weren’t sure how we would do but it was wonderful. The views are incredible. The horses very very docile and easy to ride. I highly recommend this tour to everyone!! I would recommend the earlier ride. They get crowded in the mid afternoon. The food (a grill with seating area) has really good food. I would recommend some sort of strap or something for your phone. I was afraid of dropping mine when taking pictures. Wear jeans. You won’t need a jacket or sleeves. Weather was perfect!

Fun, beautiful views, great guide! We are a family of adults ranging from 20’s to 50’s and everyone had a great time! The bus Hollywood tour was friendly for those who have a harder time walking while still allowing them to see the great views and fun movie sites! Our tour guide was very fun, friendly, and knowledgeable! He did a great job making the tour fun and exciting. The best part was the view of the valley where we got to go out and get some great pictures with some movie props! It sounded cheesy to me at first but when you actually go see everything it’s pretty cool. Would highly recommend if you want to see the gorgeous views of the ranch but have a group that’s less physically active or wants a more relaxing and moderately priced activity.

Hollywood Movie Sites Disappointed. There were lots of movie scenes filmed here which was great but most of what we saw was a sign stuck on the side of the road. If you were on the opposite side of the bus you couldn’t even see that. All that had to be done to make it better was the name of the movie on one half of sign, a picture of scene that was filmed there on other half of sign. Then something put in the area to identify where the scene was filmed, that could be as simple as a pile of rocks as a visual. Also, you need to pause so people on opposite side of bus can take pictures. No one on the bus except maybe the first row of people saw the gate entrance where a scene was filmed of Jurassic Park because it was directly in front of the bus. We should have been allowed to quickly get off the bus to see and take pictures. The Bunker stop was excellent and Malia, the tour guide was great. She was very knowledgeable about the movies filmed there!!!

Watch out for the TRex What an amazing experience. Our tour guide on the bus was so informative and to the whole process was very easy and professional. Seeing where some of the biggest movies in the world were filmed was such a surreal experience. Highly recommended.

Not bad but not sure it’s worth. We enjoyed this tour but it would be more useful if you rent a buggy and do this yourself. Our guide was talking too much we thought. It was more about US war than hollywood stuff
