Your Hawaii trip can't miss the UTV🌴

When I first started planning the itinerary, I was thinking of dropping this activity, considering it as something optional. But fate had other plans, and I ended up booking it, and it turned out to be a blast! 🎉 UTV🟰ATV There are many different activities at Kualoa Ranch, such as horseback riding, movie filming location tours, private beach activities at Mokoli'i (Chinaman's Hat), and paddleboarding... but my favorite has to be the UTV Raptor Tours! 🚗💨 🎫 Tickets: The cheapest option is to purchase directly from the official website. Check-in time: The official website suggests arriving 45 minutes early, but our schedule was tight that day. We had tickets for 12:15 PM and only made it to check-in at 12:05 PM. Of course, I don't recommend being this rushed, but I also don't think it's necessary to arrive so early. 🕒 The entire tour lasts for 2⃣️ hours, with 3 stops along the way. The first stop is the most picturesque for photos. If you love taking pictures, make sure to take advantage of the time here. The tour guide will even wear a dinosaur glove to help you take photos and videos. 📸 The journey from the second stop to the third is the muddiest part. By the time you get to the third stop, everyone will be laughing at each other's muddy faces. 😄 There are also several puddles along the way (maybe intentionally designed?) that you drive right through at full speed—it's super fun and thrilling! 🌊 By the end of the tour, your clothes and face will be covered in mud. I strongly recommend not wearing makeup and avoiding light-colored clothing, especially white! ❗️ There are sinks available at the end to wash your face, so you don't need to worry about being covered in dirt. Just rinse off and you'll be good to go. 🧼 ‼️Remember to wear sunglasses, not to block the sun, but to keep the mud out of your eyes. The face shields and helmets are provided by the ranch, and I have to say, the face shields are pretty stylish! 😎 At check-in, they will ask how many people will be driving. Drivers need to wear a yellow wristband and can switch at the stops. !! I also strongly recommend letting someone with good driving skills take the wheel (a valid driver's license is required). Otherwise, if the driver is not skilled enough, swerves, falls too far behind the vehicle in front, or if the guide deems the driving unsafe, they will be asked to stop driving immediately. This actually happened to one of our group members, and they had to ride with the guide for the rest of the tour. They missed out on driving the off-road vehicle, which is a real shame since that's what the ticket is for. 🚫 After all that excitement, you'll probably be hungry, so you can try the shrimp plate at Kualoa. It's not particularly amazing, but it's not bad either. 🍔 #UTV #Hawaii #KualoaRanchATV #KualoaRanch #JurassicParkFilmingLocation #NorthShoreHawaii
