Directions
TIP: Advanced reservations are recommended as many tours sell out 2-3 weeks in advance. Kualoa prides itself on providing the best guest experience, so our “guide-to-guest” ratios are very low, with one guide to every six or ten guests in most cases (except for the Hollywood Movie Sites Tour). This contributes to very limited availability, so please accept our apologies if the tour you want is not available. You can also search for single seats as they will usually be available on tours at the last minute if you are willing to split up. When you are assigned your schedule, note that A, B, and C itineraries have the same inclusions, as well as the same check-in and finish times. If you are planning to experience the tour as a group, we highly suggest booking all participants in the same tour purchase, so that your party will be together for the tour as a group.
