Worth it 100% - The tournwas fantastic! We stopped at 3 local restaurants and they were expecting us at all 3. We got true local food and it was all absolutely delicious. As for the tour and the guide, Susan was a joy and she truly took care of every guest. Brought you food, water, napkins, and checked in frequently. She got to know you and even ran through the rain to get us pie. I definitely reccomend this to all!

A perfect way to get a “taste” of Hanalei - Our favorite way to enjoy a new town is to take a food tour and this one did not disappoint. We were a small group of four and our guide, Susan, provided us with information on the history and culture of Kauai, while adding a personal touch- and the food! We went to three local establishments and tried kahlua pork with salmon and poi, a classic plate lunch of red chile fried chicken with mac and potato salad and an ahi carpaccio with capers and basil aioli- and macadamia cream pie for dessert!

Wonderful, filling experience!! - Susan was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information about the different foods we ate as well as about the history of Kauai. I learned and ate a lot. The foods were all delicious! She also sent us a list of restaurants around the island that she recommends for different types of food. Make sure to come on an empty stomach- I did and still did not finish everything! I would highly recommend this tour!!

Great tour - I have been on a lot of food tours. This one didn’t have as much historical info as other food tours but it is the most food I have ever been given on a food tour and I have been on many. Susan was friendly and a good guide

A taste of Kauai love - This was amazing being with family that have a place on the island for years we wanted to do something special for them and this was perfect. Tatiana was amazing and I felt bad for her when we got to tahini nui restaurant because the staff there were acting like this was a first for the food tour and made it known that she was ending her shift. And another great thing was trying poi again and this time it was sooo good. 10 stars for Tatiana

It was fun but there was... - It was fun but there was very little food for the price. Only three spots for food, the third just an appetizer, and dessert was very basic as you can get cream pie anywhere. I was under the impression we would get to taste multiple kinds of food. I could have gone to all three spots and had the same food for under 100$ for the three of us. This was pretty disappointing and I won't recommend to anyone to spend that kind of money for food tasting only if you want the experience which was mediocre as well. I was disappointed for sure.

Canceled 2 hours before the event on the same day. - I highly recommend against this trip. They cancelled 2 hours before the event, when they could easily have cancelled at least the day before. Incredibly bad communication. So if you are completely free and can afford to waste an afternoon then may be, but otherwise just stay away.
