Great way to spend a couple of hours for lunch. - This maybe one of the most underrated experiences here on the island. There is some walking a bit of a distance but you stop frequently. The food was amazing. Kai, our tour guide was real friendly and very knowledgeable. His partner Kam , was great too! Very fun and did I mention drinks…. Oh yea! I would advise you to not miss this one.

Food is the best way to experience a new place or culture! - We had a wonderful experience exploring Kona with Ellie and Kama! All of the food and drinks we had were delicious and loved the history woven in. Food tours are our go to whenever we are traveling to find hidden gems and mom and pop places to go back to. This was no different, and we have already recommended to tour to others!

Fun food tour in Kona - This was a fun food tour. Not a ton of walking but they set up 6 locations and 2 walking snacks. We really enjoyed the drinks and bit of history. If you are looking for a food tour that shows off the variety of food in the Kona area try this.

What a fabulous experience this was our first ever food tour - This was our first ever food tour. We had our 13 year-old grandson with us and all three of us had a wonderful time. Our guide Kamkakea was just wonderful and informative. She took us to places where we had a variety of tastings. Some we wish we had more time to go back to and gave us a little history of Kona along the way.

A memorable, tasty experience - Kai has the perfect personality to be a tour guide. He took us to a variety of places where the food is excellent. Only one bad experience: my husband's ahi had only one good slice. The others were fatty. I appreciate that he continuously accommodated my wheel chair. Thank you!
