A Trip Highlight! - We really enjoyed the Kona Sea Salt tour and all of the background information Ipolani gave us. She led the tour with such knowledge and enthusiasm, it was hard not to consider this one of the best tours we did on the Big Island. Glad we were able to stock up on some of the delicious flavored salts we sampled before our flight home.

A very enjoyable experience - A very informative and interesting tour. Ilopohani( probably not the correct spelling) was an excellent tour guide and gave us great insight into how salt is made. We were able to see all the steps involved in the process. They also have a shop which sells many seasoned salts which are made right on the farm.

If you want to kill an hour before your flight home - Guide was very friendly. Tour should be 30 minutes, maximum. Information was repeated over and over again to stretch it to an hour.
