Hawaiian Salt Farm Tour in Kona - The water source and the first part of the walk

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 767 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $27Our pick

Tour Kona’s oceanfront salt farm, learn how Hawaiian sea salt is harvested, and sample distinctive salts in a relaxed one-hour visit.

“This is a history lesson for Hawaii and for salt making. Our guide offered to take a picture in the most scenic place (for free). There was a delicious taste test. Then I took the foot soak. I stayed for 10 minutes. It was invigorating and I was given an entire jar of magnesium to add to the water. Everyone should have this experience. One man was on a walker and he was able to enjoy everything. What a great experience.”

“Our visit to the Big Island wouldn't have been the same without the Ohana Family Ranch ATV Tour! it was truly the highlight of our trip! As family visiting Hawaii for the first time with our two kids, I wanted an experience that felt real, meaningful, and connected to the land and this tour gave us exactly that and more. Our guide, Alana, was incredible. She wasn't just knowledgeable about the land, she shared stories about the history, people, and spirit of Hawaii in a way that really made us feel part of it. What touched me most was how she spoke about how Hawaii's land is enriched with cultures…”

Big Island Mountain Biking on Anna Ranch

6.Big Island Mountain Biking on Anna Ranch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 171 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $235

Ride private Anna Ranch trails on a guided Big Island mountain bike tour with Kohala views, quality bikes, snacks, and a 1,200-foot climb.

“We had a great tour guide, Jeremy who was super patient and knowledgeable. The ride was very challenging even with the e-bikes but then again, I've never been mountain biking before. Others in the group had a much easier time then me. The bikes were high quality and very expensive with great suspension to cushion the ride. We booked on Viator which said to get there at 8:30am but everyone else who booked directly with Big Island Bike Rentals were told to get there at 9am so that was frustrating.”

Farm-to-Table Chef’s Dinner at Kulaniapia Falls

15.Farm-to-Table Chef’s Dinner at Kulaniapia Falls

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 42 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $249

Review Kulaniapia Falls’ farm-to-table chef’s dinner, with local food, waterfall views, pricing, timing, wine, and practical booking advice.

“Looked so good on paper…chef’s dinner by a waterfall, but the execution and reality fell really short. 5 courses over two plus hours, a lot of long waits (up to 30 minutes) between some of the courses. When I finally got my entree it was cold and way over salted. I might not have minded the wait so much but my group and the others at the table could hear the champagne popping and loud laughter on the other side of the kitchen so it just seemed like we were not a priority. There was no bread or anything to snack on so we were all really hungry during the…”
