This is one of THE place to visit in Oahu. They offer many different activities such as snorkeling, ATV, horseback riding. The ATV and horseback riding will range from 1/2 hour to 1 hour. The 1 hour tour will bring you deeper into the ranch and you will see the area where parts of Jurassic Park was filmed. The staff is highly knowledgeable and will talk to you and treat you like a friend. There are wild pigs and chickens all over the grounds. The horses are calm though some will throw you and you must sign a waiver before going on the tours. The ATV rides are fun but you must ride in a line one behind the other. Sights that you will see on the 1 hour horseback is the China Man's hat, a very intriguing looking island.
