Abalone Farm Tour: Educational, Hands-On, and Delicious

Highly recommend — eat, learn, and have fun, all in one! We had so much fun. Note that you need to reserve a tour in advance. The guide was personable and knowledgeable, and you get to touch and handle the abalone and some sea urchin, then taste some abalone at the end of the tour. The tour involves easy walking, mostly shaded.

Don’t skip this tour! It was very interesting and a great experience. We held the abalone, urchin, and tasted different sea plants. Our guide was passionate about the farm. At the end we were able to try some abalone, it is very good. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Thank you for your coming and glad to hear that you enjoyed our educational farm tour! You must have found something interesting for you and that is exactly what we are expecting to happen! Learning lifecycle of abalone is uncommon but worthwhile to know and we designed a tour for everyone to understand the entire operation here. A fun part of this tour, tasting is unique as well, so I am happy that you had a fun moment with us. Mahalo!

A Very Interesting Tour

My family and I took a tour of the abalone farm on May 27, 2026. Our tour guide, Karen, was charming, friendly and very informative about the farm, the abalone, and about the various other sea animals and seaweed in the area. It was a wonderful hands on experience, and we learned a lot. Tasting sea grapes with ponzu sauce was fun, as was tasting some of the seaweed and, of course, cooked abalone. I highly recommend this tour!

Cool tour!

We were pleasantly surprised by all that we learned today. Carlos did an excellent job reading the crowd, answering questions and sharing his knowledge. We enjoyed the interactive tour and were intrigued by the samplings offered. At the end of the tour we headed to the food truck for some beer and steamed abalone with sea grapes. Yum!!!
