Booking choice: The UTV Raptor tour, from $162 per person. Check dates Compare the options below
Kualoa Ranch prices its tours per person, not per vehicle, and quotes them before Hawaii's general excise tax. Viator shows the same tours with the tax already added, which is why the numbers look different at first glance.
Prices below come from the ranch's own tour page and the live Viator listing in 2026. They can change, so the checkout price is the one that counts.

Check dates for the UTV Raptor tourWhy is the Viator price higher than the ranch's?
It is not: the ranch quotes $154.95 before tax, and Viator shows $162.25 with Hawaii's 4.712% tax included.
Do the sum and they match to the cent. The same goes for the Jurassic Adventure: $149.95 at the ranch, $157 with tax. Booking through Viator does not cost more for these Kualoa tours; what differs is the cancellation policy, below.
What is included in the price?
Your seat in a multi-passenger UTV, a helmet, the training and safety briefing, and the guided two-hour drive with photo stops at movie sites.
The briefing is part of the two hours, not extra time. The route runs into the Kaʻaʻawa Valley on dirt roads and through seasonal streams, following a Kualoa guide.
What costs extra?
Transport from Waikiki, food and drinks, lockers and gratuities are all extra.
- Waikiki shuttle: the ranch's round-trip transport is $30 per person; the Viator UTV ticket does not include it.
- Food: Aunty Pat's Café on site, open 7:30 AM to 3 PM, with grab-and-go until 4 PM.
- Lockers: self-service, $5 for the day.
- Tips: not included for your guide.
Staying for the afternoon? Secret Island beach at the ranch costs about $63 with kayaks and paddleboards.
Explore Secret Island beachCan you cancel or get a refund?
Not on Viator: every Kualoa Ranch listing there is non-refundable and cannot be changed; direct bookings refund if you phone the ranch at least 48 hours ahead.
That is the one real difference between the two ways to book, and it matters on a trip with changing plans. If the ranch itself cancels a tour for high winds, lightning or unsafe conditions, it refunds the cancelled tour whichever way you booked. Tours otherwise run rain or shine.

Check dates for the UTV Raptor tourHow much does a family of four pay?
Two adults and two children aged 5 to 12 pay two adult fares of $162 plus two reduced child fares, all in one vehicle.
Add $30 each for the shuttle if you are not driving, plus lunch and a tip. If a child is under 5, the UTV tour is out: see the age and driver rules for tours that take younger kids.
Is there a cheaper way to go off-road at Kualoa?
Yes: the Jungle Expedition and the Hollywood Movie Sites tour cost about $63 each, but a guide drives both.
The Jungle Expedition climbs jungle trails in a six-wheel-drive Pinzgauer to a coastal lookout; the movie tour uses a vintage bus. Neither needs a licence, and both take children from 3. For the full comparison, see UTV vs Jurassic Adventure.
Want the jungle for less? The Pinzgauer climbs to a lookout over the windward coast.
Explore the Jungle ExpeditionIs the UTV tour worth the price?
For most people, yes: it rates 4.7 from 1,740 reviews, and guests call the views and guides worth every penny.
Just set your expectations: it is a guided convoy with photo stops, not a race. Guests who wanted speed or more movie props were the ones who came away a little flat.
