Educational salt farm tour - This was an easy walking tour that was very educational. Mia gave us a wonderful tour as she was friendly, funny, and passionate about the tour and the salt farm. We enjoyed tasting the various salts at the end of the tour and definitely purchased a number of Salt to send back to our home in Arizona. FYI: if your purchase order total is $100 or more, the FedEx shipping back to the mainland is free.

Salt farm Kona - Excellent tour Conservation at its finest. We saw the salt tanks and the magnesium oil seives. We didnt have time to do the foot soak but i think it would be worth it.

Amazing salt farm tour! - Tour was amazing and the tour guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Was very cool to see the process of how they make the sea salt and the history of that area. At the end of the tour you are able to try all the different sea salts with the provided fruits and veggies. Overall an amazing experience and would definitely go again!

Tour of the salt farm - This was an extremely interesting tour. We learned a little about the history of the area and the geology. One takes salt for granted but learning about its origins causes one to question what type of salt they should be using that is most healthy. Fun to taste the different flavors!

Not a great value - For the price of the tour, there’s not much included. Activities were all outdoors in the heat with little to no shade. Not a great value for the tour price and tour guide was very recited and robotic. I feel like there are other activities that are better value. I was surprised cause this had 4.5 stars on all websites and thought we would be in for a fun time. This was a huge disappointment.
