It feels different from the imagination, the mountains on the beach and a little flat, but the horse riding is very fun, the two hours are a bit tired, the coach is very good, the sea is beautiful and it feels better than the pasture, and the inside is very cool. The big tree can cover the shade.
The Gulani Ranch is a very popular theme park on Oahu Island. The unique location, surrounded by mountains and sea, is picturesque and the invincible scenery makes it a hot spot for many Hollywood directors.
Trip.com The package item bought is absolutely cost-effective. I compared several apps and finally chose Trip.com , because the price is the best, the service is assured, and then the foreign time difference, will not be overwhelmed because of the order problem.
In the morning, the bus came back to us hilton village, but it was actually in the tower. We waited for a long time at the bus stop at the door = = The tour guide sent us a bracelet to each of us, and then chose other projects outside the atv tour. The valley tour and atv are repeated. So chose the deep mountain tour and the ocean tour. Then sent us a form, arranged all the time, the three trips to play the time is reasonable and compact, no time isted and no fatigue. When we arrived at the Gulani Ranch, we gave us time to stroll around the ranch by ourselves. It was really great! The first project: a sea trip starts~, take a boat to the beach first, and then change to a double boat to find a baby turtle in the ocean. Because I have seen whales in Sri Lanka before, I think this project is not so fun, but the sea breeze is super comfortable! Because it is cloudy and the sun is not big, so enjoy the sun! The boat is more and more swaying, standing at the bow feels super happy, making up for the regret of not sitting on the upper floor in Ceylon. After the trip, I would go to a few movie spots, but it was deserted and there were many bugs. Then it rained and we went to lunch buffet. There are quite a lot of buffet lunch choices, but to be honest, it is not delicious... The happiest thing to eat is to feed the rest of us to the birds with my husband. I like the feeling of blending here with nature! The rain also stopped after eating well, so lucky! So I went to the jump for a while~ Second project: the atv movie journey begins! Before the official start, we will ask our nationality. If the Chinese people, they will show us a Chinese video, tell us what things can't be sat in the process of opening atv, and then we will start testing. If we can't pass the atv test, we will go to the jeep. By the way, my husband wears slippers, there are actually Crocs to change, so intimate! I can't drive and I can't ride a bicycle. It's a big challenge to drive atv! The test road bends around, nervous to the extreme stiff I hard head to drive, suddenly our car leader drove his atv to face me, thinking that he did not pass the test, the result let me follow him, become the first of all tourists driving atv! My husband is the last haha! But I am not so daring to follow the leader. I can look around and watch the surrounding scenery when I open it. It is really beautiful! Suddenly came to the world of kingkong and the world of Jurassic! There is a chance to get off the bus and take pictures in the middle. The place we got off is the latest kingkong shooting here. In fact, I want to go to the shooting point of Jurassic! Seeing other teams shooting hearts and itching there... The third project: The journey to the mountains starts~ The tour bus is a bit of an open jeep-I don't know what car it is called, it is very shaking and exciting anyway! I am a female driver! The sound thief is nice! In fact, I think this project is a bit tasteless, but there were two drop-offs in the middle. The first time was a very stupid place, and the second time I could go to a mountain. When I arrived at the shooting point of Jurassic, I saw dinosaur scratches, there were Jurassic songs in the car, and the female driver's wonderful voice, absolutely!
I give all five stars, not habitual praise, it is really great, great ~ Especially for people who like to watch movies, Pearl Harbor, 50 times of first love, Jurassic Park, etc. are all shot here! After playing, I saw the movie of my first love fifty times on the plane back. Every time I saw a familiar scenery, I was very excited. I told my husband where this was. It felt completely different. This day is the happiest day, and it is completely worth the fare. And the meals provided are delicious! There was no horse riding or ATV riding on this day, because the time was very short and it was impossible to play the ranch in depth. However, the choice of valley, ocean and fish pond is different, very deep ~ recommended!
The wedding held on Oahu Island, tangled with the church or the beach, and finally found this lawn pasture, and rented the venue in advance with the wedding celebration. It feels special privacy, blue grass and blue sky, a different experience. In other words, there are many Gulani day trip projects, which feel meaningless.
We bought the ATV package by car. The parking lot is very large. You can change tickets from the middle entrance. You can choose the jungle tour and the deep mountain tour. After Pearl Harbor, Jurassic World, King Kong Island and many other movies, it feels very good. Cross-country motorcycle experience for one hour. It’s also very cool. Lunch is a buffet and it tastes good. After returning, I specially remediated those unseen movies shot in Gulani. I have full memories.
