The Ali'i tour is a must stop for any friends or family visiting me in Hawaii. It's the closest thing I can find that showcases as much of Hawaii in one place and time that I can find. During the tour, entertaining and knowledgable guides take you on an old bus around land near the famous Kualoa Mountain, Ranch, and Moli'i fishpond. You learn about native crops, culture, and how people interact with the land. There is a show with firemaking, coconut husking, dancing, and gifts for the guests. There are some famous movie sets located on the route of the tour and on the ranch, which are described by the guides as well.By far the best part of the tour is the guides. They are hilarious! Yes you learn all the great things I mentioned above, but I always laugh the whole time. If you only have time to do one thing while you are on Oahu, make it the Ali'i tour.

I read about this tour over our morning coffee, and we called to see if they had room for us to join a tour that afternoon. The lady said they would, but that it would leave in 90 min. We grabbed our stuff and jumped in the car.The drive out there was gorgeous. We arrived early so we sampled some of the macadamia nuts (more on that in another review) The guide introduced himself and we boarded the open air tour bus.He was charming and quite the comedian.We were taken around the farm and were taught various things along the way. Highlights: fire baton twirling, learning how to crack open a coconut and drinking the fresh juice, and being crowned with keepsake head dresses.We continued on to locations used in film and television shows. (LOST) The boat ride was amazing! The million dollar views were worth the entire trip. We had so much fun ! Nerds for life ! Thank you !Short clip of our experience http://youtu.be/FO1TyXOXqGI

We had the absolute best time here!!! At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend the money to do the tour because we wrongfully assumed it was just a drive through the fields. Boy were we wrong!!! We have been in Hawaii almost a week now and this was the first time I was overwhelmed almost to the point of tears just in appreaction for the culture and those who give us the honor of having it shared with us. It was amazing to have shared this time with the amazing people at the farm and truly felt like Ohana. Not only was it interactive and hilarious!!! But the infornation being shared and the love and respect shown for land and culture has made this experience one of our very favorites!!!! We learned all about the "tree of life" and just how essential cocnuts are to life on the island (providing a whole new respect for them) as well as fire demonstrations, and so much more!

Hubby took his parents to this tour last November while they were in town, visiting from WA. Dad is 90 yrs and mom is 84 yrs. they all loved this tour. So I took my grandsons, 8 yrs and 5 yrs. When we got there, I realized they accepted CASH ONLY. Went to Kualoa Ranch (1 mile away) to use their ATM. Got back in time for the tour. Needless to say, I thought I would get attitude from my 8 yr old. He's a gamer and would rather be on his DS or iPad. But he LOVED it. Even I was a bit skeptical but from the time we boarded the bus, the comedy began. Surprisingly, half our group was local. The other half, visitors from Wisconsin and Arizona. We all had a great time. Great tour of the farm and the various trees and plants. Didn't know it was a film location for so many movies. And the fire dance was up close. Lessons on making fire and husking a coconut were so interesting. Got to taste fresh coconut. All the while, the jokes kept coming, non-stop.It was time well spent. Highly recommend this tour for locals and visitors. But don't forget to bring cash. $20 Adults, ($15 kamaaina) and $10 for kids.Note, they used to have an ATM there but it was stolen. Auwe!

Nice place to take your family wen they come visit and affordable.. The tour guide was such a comedian my family really enjoyed it.

This was a great tour. We went today and really enjoyed ourselves. Our driver/guide was Junior. He was funny and informative. The tour included a small fire show/demonstration. Traditional methods on opening a coconut, a short canoe ride near secret island and an informative bus ride. You even get a small souvenir and apple banana included. I really recommend this tour to everyone. It cost $20 and is $15 for residents.

We met chief Soho at the Polynesian Cultural Center when he did a show there, then saw him again the next year with Chief Sielu at the Ali'i Tour when they had just opened. We've been back and brought friends every year since. Fabulous tour and the show is always fresh! Many new faces over the years - Tama helped us out this year with a great intro when my nephew proposed to his girlfriend, and brought them both up on stage. It was truly an unforgettable event. Definitely a tour you do not want to miss.

I went this place in mid June 2022, Ali'i tour was closed due to covid. Wasted precious time in Oahu.

I did not expect this tour to be so much fun. You get a tour of the farm and a quick show from the tour guide. Not only was it interesting, but our tour guide was very funny and entertaining. They allowed us to smell the fruit, explain what seasons what fruits are available and provide the history of the plants. When you get to the site, you can crack fresh macadamia nuts and eat it. You just have to be careful of the wild chickens running around because they wait to eat the macadamia nut as you crack it open. Fair warning that you need to bring cash to pay for the tour and you buy it on site. I would recommend this tour to others. The day we went was too gloomy to go to the beach so this was a nice alternative.
