Ever wonder how salt is harvested? Excellent tour! Anxious to use pure salt on good piece of meat when I get home. Will bring more island visitors to see & hear about salt.

It was very interesting and all the family loved it. You visit the farm with the differents methods to extract the salt and after you can buy different salts. Hard to find the site but if you follow the indications that the guy tells you you will find it. The guide is very interesting and you can ask anything. Enjoy

This tour is a great value! I think it was marketed as being a 45-minute tour, but ours ended up being a little over an hour. Sam is an excellent guide, and we got to learn a little about the history of the area and how the salt farm came to be. We also got to see a few of the different methods used here to harvest salt as well as liquid magnesium, a byproduct of the production process. The salts here are easy to take home, making them great gifts with a story behind them. If you're looking for a short activity on the Kona side of the island, I'd recommend this one!
