Experience Details
Hawai‘i Island’s only working salt farm, featured on Guy Fieri’s “Guy Hawaiian Style,” is located on a scenic 7-acre oceanfront site in the Hawai‘i Ocean Science & Technology Park (HOST Park)—a community dedicated to ocean innovation.
Our salt is hand-harvested by our Chief Salt Maker from deep ocean water drawn from 2,200 feet below the surface. On tour, you’ll learn about the cultural significance of Hawaiian salt (paʻakai), the journey of our ultra-pure water, and our solar-evaporation process. Enjoy a guided salt tasting, with pure, flavored, and smoked varieties.
Optional cold deep ocean water foot soaks are available. If you're short on time, visit our retail store—just minutes from the airport. Through our Give Back program, 1% of revenue supports marine debris cleanup and coral restoration. The tour is partially wheelchair accessible—please contact us for details.

The Kona salt farm was amazing. I enjoyed the history of the farm, tasting of the salt, and the foot soak. The staff was kind. What left me wanting more was the flavored salt.
Such a great tour! All of us from age 8 to 63 really enjoyed learning about the history of this beautiful place! The salt is amazing! Highly recommend!

Great tour guide. Not much to tour for an experience. A suggestion would be to feel or walk on sea salt.
This was a welcoming tour. The tour guide offered to take pictures. The tour was interesting and ended with taste testing.
