    Great tour. We really liked the presentation of our guide, Candy. The tasting afterwards was worth the price of the tour. I highly recommend this .

    Interesting and worth it!
    Marilyn_H, May 2024
    I learned so much on this tour! It’s really a science to get good salt. Amazing with the salt tasting at the end and the extra magnesium water. Would definitely recommend! They do a great job.
    Great tour!

    Don't miss this tour!!!! The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. They hold your attention. It was interesting to learn all the steps in producing the different kinds of salt. The salt pairing with the fruit and vegetables was a perfect ending to the tour. It is so nice to bring home many of the salts and other items from the gift shop. Kudos to Hawaiian Salt Farm!
    What a great find!

    Very informative and fun tour. We had no idea about. this process. We highly recommend for all ages.
    I have a new respect and love for the many flavors of salt and their products.

    The guided tour and tasting room was excellent. I've been coming to the Big Island for 20 years and overlooked this before. I'll be back next year to see what else is new.
    Great tour

    Kay_B, Apr 2024
    Tour was cancelled and we didn’t know til we got there. They had emailed but once I’m out and about for the day I do t check that. They did offer a complimentary salt tasting and foot soak instead. The person in the store was very nice and the tasting and soak were enjoyable but I was disappointed no tour.
    Unique and Educational Tour

    Interesting tour. Very educational and unique. Enjoyed tasting their various salts at the end of the tour too!
    It was interesting ok for the price but we wouldn't do the foot soak again.
    Heather_K, Mar 2024
    The setting was beautiful. The information was interesting. The foot soak was cooler than expected in fact before freezing according to the thermometer everyone had to get out and stand in the sun.
    Its a bit salty and fun

    A Salty in a Good Way Experience
    Christy_O, Jan 2024
    This was a lovely and informative tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the property and it's functions over the years. The salt produced here is one of a kind.
    Our trip
    Christina_B, Jan 2024
    We had a great time learning about deep sea salt! We even sampled some of the salt with pineapples, tomatoes and cucumbers. The view is beautiful, but stay away from the waves! They can knock you down so be safe!
