Hawaiian Salt Farm Tour in Kona
Patricia_T, Sep 2026
Great tour - great tour guide👍🏼👍🏼
My wife and I really enjoyed the tour of your salt processing plant. The tour guide was awesome!👏🏼👏🏼. Not only did she remember the names of all the 21 tourists but she was a wealth of information of the salt collection and processing. She also showed great pride in her Hawaiian heritage and the work the salt processing plant is doing to save the ocean from pollution. Highly recommend this tour.

Great tour by Evan!
We had a wonderful time! Our guide Evan was informative, funny, and kept all of us interested in the history of Captain Cook! He had stories of all sorts and was enjoyable to hear about. We had a small group of six, which felt less like a tour and more like we had our own personal guide. Lunch was great as well!

KONA Manta Ray Night Snorkel – FREE re-ride if no Sightings
516christianas, Sep 2026
Do not miss this!!!
We had done this before a few years back on a big boat. But this tour was so much more fun. It's a more intimate setting, and Jacob, Kai and Kai Loa made it awesome. We had an amazing time, saw so many mantas and with only 8 guests it felt authentic and like the guides were very engaging.Must know how to swim, (don't lie). And must feel comfortable jumping off a boat in the ocean at dark. It is worth it! Do not miss this evening adventure. GoPro friendly. They get close, so suck in your gut.

Great tour and education...
Great tour and education of the ancient practices of harvesting salt and the current methods of extracting pristine Kona salt from the Pacific Ocean 2200 feet below the beautiful Kona shore. Our guide was inviting and a wonderful example of aloha spirit. Definitely worth our time and money.

Fun and lots of fish at the spot. I recommend going on the earliest trip because the place you go in the water gets overcrowded quickly. Lucas and Ericka were great and even helped coax my wife into the water. We got to see some dolphins on the way back. Pack light and use sunscreen before leaving the dock.

This was the coolest experience. First off the staff was all super friendly and helpful. Shoutout to Payton for being absolutely amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The minute I put my head in the water I saw a manta ray and continued to see them nonstop after that. We had the best time!
