A Taste of Kauai - Our guide Max was great! He took his time and didn’t rush us. He shared the local history behind the food and the local restaurants. A good variety of food and plenty to eat!

Walking Food Tour - Despite the weather, which at times was a torrential downpour, Max persevered. We enjoyed the food, especially the Taro cakes from Big Nicks and the Holy Grail Donuts. He is very knowledgeable about the island and we loved that he took us to family owned businesses. We definitely learned about the culture and people of the island on the tour. Good luck on restoring your fishing boat. We very much enjoyed our time with you.

The walking food tour was... - The walking food tour was great. Max, our tour guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. The fact that he didn’t cancel because there were only two of us was appreciated. It turned out to be a private tour for my sister and I. The food we tasted were all very delicious, with the chili pepper fried chicken being our favorite. We definitely recommend this activity while on Kauai.

Walking food tour - We arrived for our tour and there was one other couple. The tour guide showed up and seemed very nice and knowledgeable of the local town but seemed to lack a specific agenda or plan. We did end up covering most of the town and eateries and left well fed and more knowledgeable. We did feel like the tour was a bit over priced for what we got.

This was a great... - This was a great opportunity to discover small eatery operations in the Hanalei area. Also a chance to try different cuisines/food types that the less adventurous wouldn’t order off of a menu. The one downside was that our group had people with multiple food allergy issues (pork and shellfish) which limited our selection of eateries. It would have been useful to get a list at the end of the tour of the places that were avoided because of that.
