Interesting and Delicious - This tour was fantastic. First, let’s start with Mia, a Hawaiian native with bursting energy and overflowing knowledge of the process of harvesting salt. A mix of conservation, production, and philanthropy ( a must for every great local business). The tour ended with salt sampling and me buying several sets to bring home to my family.

Great business; great products.; excellent tour. - I’m a fitness instructor looking for quality electrolytes/mineralization for my clients, and I love to support Hawaiians. I came to learn about their product and was pleasantly surprised. The staff was very kind, easy to learn from, excited to answer questions, and generally excited to share the love of their contributions to their community with you. Delightful! The guide took pictures for me as I was traveling alone and helped me find the best product for my clientele. I will be ordering from them in the future, and definitely sharing with my clients.

Small batches passionate people excellent salt - Salt is salt right. Nope. When you taste the difference learn the slow process and understand what you have on your table you will only want Kona sea salt. Take the tour. Spend time with the people who are passionate about their craft. The flavor comes through in small batches. I tried it on pineapple. It made it sweeter. Go visit
