Top Hawaii Food Tours - page 2

The fruit tasting was something very different to do than your traditional tourist outing and that is what drew us to it to begin with. It was worth it. Very informative and fun to try fresh fruit from the island. All of my family enjoyed this excursion very much and would do it again.

History and food are the pillars of culture when you visit a city. Combing both together is always a good idea and this tour did it successfully! Our guide was Ellie and she showed us a wonderful time around Kona on a bright sunny day. We started off at the pier to learn a bit of history. Then headed to “Spinners” for a refreshing mango Prosecco paired with a chicken salad slider that had bits of Mac nuts and pineapple. Stopped to see the first church in Kona paired with a musubi snack. Dropped into a new local shop “Honeyspun” chocolate and had an unexpected tasting and shopping experience. Loved the lavender chocolate and excited to pair with red wine as recommended. Walked over to “Kona Inn” and had a small but mighty mai tai while learning some history about this previous resort. Took a short walk over to try the poke at “Paakai Poke & Deli” which was so good! Fish caught same day (never frozen!) and topped with furikake paired with edamame. Also enjoyed an ‘apple banana’ given by the tour guide even though the local farmer’s market was not open that day. Very good! Headed over to “Kai’s” and enjoyed bartender’s drink of the day which was a tasting glass of a ‘pink colada’ and paired with a funghi, Italian sausage pizza and pesto pizza. Then off to “Laverne’s” to enjoy a tasting glass of Kona Brew’s ‘Big Wave’ paired with a fish and chip mini plate. Finished off at “Gypsy’s Gelato” to get a large tasting sample of our choice of two gelato’s. With every step and bite we enjoyed the local flavors, history and knowledge provided by our guide Ellie. Apparently this is the first and only walking tour and it’s a don’t miss this opportunity for tourists. Love that the tour changes because the purpose here is to partner with local eateries to provide exposure to as many foodie favorites as possible. A wonderful mission and pleasant time. Great way for tourists to learn the ropes and now I have some new favorites to add to my list

Kelly was a fantastic guide: friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely engaging. He shared great island history throughout the ride, which added so much to the experience. The food at every stop was amazing; each place was a standout. A really special bonus was that Kelly made a lovely video of the entire tour and sent it to me afterward. Such a thoughtful touch! This tour was a highlight of my trip and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

We had the best time and enjoyed some delicious food. Victor, our tour guide was very knowledgeable. He took us to places we would never know about but will definitely go back to.Ten out of ten recommend this tour. We have been to Oahu several times and this has been one of our favorite experiences.

We had an absolutely knowledgeable and lovely tour guide, Stephanie. Stephanie knows the whole island and has interesting stories to share as she takes genuine care to make sure guests have the most enjoyable ride and get to see and experience everything the island has to offer. Thank you Stephanie for making our first visit to Hawaii so memorable. Highly recommend this tour!!

Both Cornelius and Tony were gracious, kind, and knowledgeable of this awe-inspiring island. Their cozy shop gave me some ideas to take back home. The wine was yummy and we ordered the cheese board twice! Plus the wine slushy "sample" was UH-MAZING! Oh... we also sampled their ghost pepper water. WOW! We left with an additional purchase of their coconut wine (who knew this could be so tasty!) and GP water... I'm sure these are one of kind! Lastly, save room in your luggage for Tony's beautiful artwork showcasing the array of Hawaiian colors... plus your wine bottles!! 😀

Susan was a wonderful guide to both great places to eat as well as the history of Kauai. This was our second go-round with this operator and both times we ate at recommended places on their list and have enjoyed the superb local foods/cuisine. An A+ excursion.

Our guide Max was awesome. It’s a nice little town. We walked around tried different food items with amazing food stories that are local to this Hanalei coast. It’s definitely worth a visit again. Maybe next time we can stay there. A great way to see the town with a local!
