Hawaiian Salt Farm Tour

Overview

Tour Hawaii Island's only Salt Farm. Recently featured on Guy Fieri's show, we are located on a beautiful 7 acre oceanfront site, in an area that was has been for salt gathering by Hawaiians for centuries and now is part of the Hawaii Ocean Science & Technology Park.

Very informative. I had no idea how old the water was that they use to make the salt. Sam was awesome at explaining all the aspects and showing how everything works. Highly recommend!!!!!!!

This tour popped up as an Instagram ad while I was relaxing in the hotel room after arriving from Oahu, and I asked my mother if she’d be interested in doing it. She said she would, so I booked it. Score 1 for the advertising algorithm. When we arrived for the tour, our guide welcomed us and let us relax a bit while she shared the history of the site and how the salt is “farmed”. Then we did a little walking tour of the site and saw where everything comes together. Score 2 for the tour. After that, we were able to sample the salt with some fruits and vegetables in the gift shop, which then led to the shopping experience. Score 3 for the interactive selling experience. So, overall, I’d say this was truly worth the price of the ticket. Great fun!!

I happened across a Facebook post about the Kona Salt Farm and booked the tour. We were not disappointed. Sam and the ladies were very nice and knowledgeable. We learned a lot that we didn’t know about salt and magnesium! Definitely worth it plus the view is amazing!!
