Good to know
Know before you go
Children must be at least 3 for Jurassic Adventure. Younger children can't join, even if they could sit on a lap. Guests aged 17 and under need an adult, so your family plan must fit both rules.
This route needs a moderate level of fitness. Pregnancy and back problems make the bumpy ride unsuitable. Being driven doesn't remove the jolts from the ranch tracks, so the vehicle format shouldn't be mistaken for a smooth coach trip.
Wear clothes suited to an outdoor ride in an open vehicle. Rain by itself on most days doesn't cancel ranch tours. High winds or lightning can stop a departure, and the ranch makes that decision based on conditions.
Your mobile ticket needs to be shown with matching photo ID at the ranch. The deadline is 45 minutes before departure. You can't use the printed start time as your arrival time without missing the required check-in.
One reservation takes up to 15 travelers and requires an adult. The tour group can have up to 20 guests. The ranch must accept your booking, so submitting a request isn't the last step in securing the departure.
You won't receive a refund if you cancel this booking. Late check-in also loses the tour without a refund. Choose a slot you can reach with the required arrival time already allowed for in your travel plans.

People also ask
- What does Kualoa Jurassic Adventure cost?
Jurassic Adventure costs from $157.02 per adult for 2.5 hours. A guide drives the open vehicle between film locations. Your ticket doesn't include food or a ride from the hotel, so the ranch journey needs a separate plan.

- Do you drive on Kualoa Jurassic Adventure?
No, your guide drives throughout the 2.5-hour ranch tour. You ride as a passenger in an open vehicle. It doesn't require a driver from your party, which suits visitors who want the film locations without taking the wheel.
- Does Kualoa Jurassic Adventure visit the dinosaur cages?
Yes, dinosaur cages and the Indominus Rex paddock are on the 2.5-hour route. The Gallimimus field is another film location. You visit these sites with the guide, and the route also crosses the ranch's valleys between stops.
- How early should you arrive for Kualoa Jurassic Adventure?
You must be at the ticket office at least 45 minutes early. Your voucher and matching photo ID are needed there. Plan the hotel journey separately, since neither the 2.5-hour duration nor the ticket includes travel from Waikiki.
