Don't miss the Kona Salt Farm Tour! - A friend and I took the Kona Salt Farm Tour and were blown away by the story of the farm and the making of the deep sea salt. Our guide Ipolani was so knowledgeable. She told us the story of the farm and the salt-making process with humor. There is so much more to making salt than I realized. I learned a lot and enjoyed every minute! We enjoyed the tour so much we also participated in the Cold Water Deep Sea Foot Soak. That was the best!! The water felt so good! Thank you Ipolani for a wonderful experience. I will come again for sure!

Salt farm tour - Very informative tour. Beautiful area behind the store where they have weddings. The cold water foot soak was worth every penny.

Wonderful Introduction to Salt-making + Kona's Coastal Cultural Landscapes - Mimi gave us a fantastic tour! I learned a great deal about the business and craft of salt-making and it was grounded in a deep understanding of the coastal Hawaiian cultural and natural landscapes we were experiencing. Based on her recommendation, I also went over to the nearby Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park to visit the historic fishponds. This tour is a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the history and culture of the island and to meet some of the special people who champion all of it. (And the salt tasting changed my palate -- and my life. )

Great for Adults or as a Date, a gorgeous location - This was a great informative tour. We learned a lot in terms of how Sea Salt is made and about their stewardship for ocean preservation. Although this tour is for all ages, it was clear that this tour tailors more toward the older crowd. We had small kids with us and they started to lose focus near the end. This would be an ideal date or something to do with other couples. From a photo opp perspective, this was probably the best place and will likely be used as "the" photo on our Christmas card...yes the picture is that amazing!
