Went with my wife and kid who are both foodies and scientists/engineers. Highly enjoyed our experience there

Learning about abalones, touching them then eating them was a great experience! I wasn’t too sure if my teens would like this, but they both had a great time. The guide talked too fast to catch everything, but he was funny and had a good sense of humor.

Extremely interesting tour of raising and breeding abalone. Small group tour was hands on to farming process. Even got to sample the product.

This is one of the most interesting tours I have ever taken. Carlos has taken time to learn a lot about abalone and the process, growth, sea weed, and tastes were all fascinating. The time spent was all super interesting and fast paced and seeing all of the tanks loaded with specimens and understanding the location of the farm and perils facing the critters was good. I had never been brave enough to taste it before, but tried the three ways offered and it was actually pretty good. I HIGHLY recommend the tour.

This is probably one of the most interested places to visit while on the big island. Carlos our tour guide was very knowledgeable. He showed us all aspects of the development of the abalone. He was able to answer all our questions. Tasting the abalone was an interesting experience. I would go on this tour again when I'm on the big island.
