Kona Salt Farm tour and Awesome foot bath!! - We highly recommend the salt tour! Our guide is so knowledgeable about the whole process as well as the Hawaiian island history as well! It was great learning how they draw water from 2,200 feet and then extract the salt! We also took a refreshing 48 degree foot bath!

Salt!! - Nice and quick tour that teaches you about the harvesting process for salt and magnesium. Candee was a great guide and was very knowledgeable. You walk around the farm and are shown the different stages of the salt process. You later get to taste test their salt variations! We also did the foot soak separately added onto our tour. Be warned that the water is way colder than you would expect!! Overall a great day & tour!

This is a very unique, fun and informative tour! - My wife and I really enjoyed the Hawaiian Salt Farm Tour at Kona Salt Farm! The tour guide were very knowledgeable and genuinely warm and welcoming. The tour providing a lot of island history, and great details on the various types and global efforts to farm sea salt, and described how this farm's unique access to deep water sea salt farming sets it apart from the more shallow sea water salt farm. We also liked learning of how they are supporting in removal of garbage and fishing netting that is damaging the oceans. Please visit this tour and support their cause! You will enjoy it so much!

Great 100% KONA sea salt tour - It’s very interesting to hear how they harvest the sea salt from the Pacific Ocean. It is in a beautiful setting and the guide is very knowledgeable.. It is 100% KONA sea salt. We additionally took on the deep ocean foot soak, which was extremely cold, but refreshing and exhilarating. The deep seawater is filled with many minerals that we don’t normally get particularly magnesium.
