Hawaiian Salt Farm Tour in Kona
PJGCOOMBS, Sep 2026
Super informative and worth the time.
I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but the presentation was flawless and so informative. It was very cool to see how they harvest the salt. The sea salt tasting at the end was the perfect way to sample before you purchased. Be prepared that, if you do the foot soak, the water is 46°. It was so refreshing on such a hot day! Great experience.

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.

Hawaiian Salt Farm Tour in Kona

Worth doing
Wonderful tour. Lots of information about sea salt I hadn’t known and very welcoming, friendly staff. Sweet gift shop for salt tasting and purchase at the end of the tour. We enjoyed the foot bath as well. Water is piped to our own foot soak tub from far below the ocean’s surface and magnesium harvested from their salt production left us feeling refreshed and ready for the day!

Manta Ray Night Snorkel at Kona, Big Island

Must do activity. Dont miss out.
Amazing experience. We saw so many manta rays (they swim up so close, make sure you try not to touch them cause they are within arms reach). Guides were awesome and swam us around to get different views. Can’t miss this experience if you’re in Kona.

Amazing Manta Ray Experience
Amazing manta ray night snorkeling experience! Deavon was our host and communication was great, with advance notice before we headed to the meeting area. We saw 3–4 manta rays swim just inches away from us. It was incredible to see these gentle giants up close! The crew was friendly, funny, and Greg was so knowledgeable, and did a great job educating us and answering our questions, making the experience truly unforgettable. Definitely worth the money! Tip: expect a possible delay in the start time, but they’ll let you know in advance, and definitely bring a waterproof phone case.

Big Island: Mauna Kea Summit and Stars Small-Group Adventure Tour
Karen_W, Sep 2026
Worthy of Your Time
Our tour guide Eugene made the experience wonderful, exciting and memorable. Even when things didn’t go as planned, clouds blocking the view of the stars, mist and rain on the summit of Mauna Kea, chill in the air or even some high altitude light headedness; Eugene provided amazing insight into the mountains, the history of the Hawaiians and geography of a most beautiful mountain that we all shared. Our vehicle was comfortable, making several pit stops to allow each of to acclimatize and explore as we climbed up the mountain. The tour provided a good tasty and very hot soup as our meal; providing plenty of tea, water and coffee for your very needs. We would highly recommend this tour above all others. This is our second trip and both times we had difficulty seeing the stars but Eugene got us to the summit. While we were unable to see the stars because of weather conditions that came in before the stars came out, we were able too see as beautiful sunsets providing us with another great memory. Moreover, the tour refunded us half of our money because we were unable to star gaze. This is worth the trip. Good luck.
