Greenwell Farms

Marissa was awesome and very nice. Perfect tour guide. Tour of Kona Coffee, we didn't actually get a tour by a knowledgeable coffee person at Farm. Turtles were amazing and Marissa knew exactly when to be there. Food choice wasn't diverse enough. I couldn't eat anything there! If I didn't mention... Marissa was awesome! She went above and beyond to make a great day for us. Tour company needs to do a better job with tour description and details so guests know what to expect. The three rating is the Tour Company, Marissa was a perfect 10!

Aloha thank you for your review. There are not many options for lunch in South Kona and we are always on the look out for other options for sure. the coffee farm guide is who trained our guides and when they used to take our customers we received so many complaints for it being wayyyy toooo long. And it really is at 1hr and 45 min. Please let me know what you think of what details are missing on this tour.
