Highly recommend - This was so fun. We were having a great time! Kai and Kamakea were fun, and informative. We got about half way through, and unfortunately there was a major power outage. So none of the restaurants were open. Disappointing, but nothing anyone can do about it. They handled it very well.

Amazing experience! - Ellie and Kama were excellent guides who gave us a great tour of the best local food and the amazing Island history. From Island folklore to volcano facts, history of Hawaiian culture to the local food scene, they were a plethora of knowledge. They were happy to answer any questions and gave us great off the beaten path sites to see while here. It was a great way to start our trip on the Big Island. Thank you so much!

Kona Food Tour with Ellie - Ellie was personable - so we got a bit of history, great food, and good drinks! We got to taste a lot of options and go where the locals would! Everything was extremely tasty from the Clam Chowder & Champagne, to the Mai Tais, from the Ahi Tuna to the Gelato…she even brought a few extras for us to taste. We would definitely do this again and are so glad we were able to participate.

A must for foodies - We had the best experience with our first food walking tour. The food was amazing and our tour guides, Kama and Kai, were so knowledgeable and friendly. They took the extra time to go above and beyond to make an incredible experience.

Very nice tour - Great tour! More history than we expected. Very nice walk through Kona on the water front. The portion sizes were small for the price but there were multiple alcohol samples/stops.

A long walk for nothing - Take the 300 dollars for 2 people and go to a nice restaurant.This is a tourist trap.The food selection was horrible.They don’t give you options on food or drinks to make your tour worth it.They take you to this out of the way place for poke.The last food stop was fish&chips which was horrible.Only the gelato was good.Just go to the gelato place and save a lot of money.
