Jurassic Valley UTV Ride

Drive Your Own 4WD UTV Into Stunning Remote Valleys

UTV Tour into Scenic Jurassic Valley

Hop into an open-air UTV (Ultra Terrain Vehicle) to explore the depths of Kualoa Ranch’s iconic Ka’a’awa “Jurassic’ Valley. You will drive a 5-6 passenger vehicle along a saddle trail that traverses remote areas and stunning scenery in this lush 1,000-acre valley. The benefit of a UTV is that it allows you to talk to each other inside the vehicle, stop to take photos, and enables younger children (ages 5 and up) to ride along! This tour features something for everyone: famous movie sites, lush jungle and mountain scenery, and a muddy off-road adventure.

With a low “guest-to-guide” ratio, this tour is great for groups to explore the beauty of Jurassic Valley and make memories to last a lifetime. This is a particularly popular tour that sells out 1-2 weeks in advance, so we would suggest making reservations early!

Tour Description

This exceptional opportunity to tour Kualoa Ranch’s iconic Jurassic Valley is a sure way to make incredible memories to last your lifetime. The lush jungle landscapes and towering mountains overhead have been featured in many films and this tour will take you to see many recognizable sites along the way.
Get the opportunity to drive your own open-air UTV (Ultra Terrain Vehicle) and bring your whole group along for the adventure. Drivers must be at least 21 years of age and may swap-out mid-tour. Our state-of-the-art UTV’s can accommodate groups from 2-5 people per vehicle, and 6 if smaller children are aboard. Operating in rain or shine, you will drive along the saddle road that leads into remote areas through stunning landscapes of 1,000 acre Ka’a’awa “Jurassic” Valley. After a good rain, you may have to cross rivers and peer up at mystical waterfalls that pour over the cliff tops overhead. This offroad adventure may get muddy, so dress accordingly! We would suggest wearing comfortable clothing, sunglasses, and a hat, bringing sunscreen and a camera.
There are multiple options for this tour. Choose from a 1-hour or 2-hour 4WD UTV adventure, or the Exclusive UTV Tour option that includes lunch and lasts 2.5 hours.
An advantage of the UTV versus a traditional ATV adventure is that younger passengers can ride along, you’ll have opportunities to stop and take photos at will, and it is easy to converse with each other in the vehicle. Friendly guides will show you all of the exciting features along the way and make sure to keep a low guide-to-guest ratio of one guide per 5 UTV’s so that they can focus on creating the best experience for your group.
The Jurassic Valley UTV Ride is a very popular tour and can book out 1-2 weeks in advance, so make your reservations early!
Transportation to and from Waikiki hotels is available for $15 per person. There are early morning and mid-morning departure times to Kualoa Ranch that return throughout the afternoon to Waikiki.
