My husband and I took this tour at the start of our stay in Kona. Kai, our guide, was AMAZING. His extensive knowledge of the local food scene and Hawaiian history made the afternoon a total blast. We loved his energy and endless flow of interesting facts. We're making it a point to go back to all the places he took us and/or recommended we check it out.

The clam chowder was the best I have had. The luau pizza was awesome. The Gelato was a perfect ending to a perfect day.

Guides were very knowledgeable and provided great facts about the island. All the food was delicious. They were happy to accommodate vegetarian request.

This was a lovely way to get a bit of history and to try some great local treats! We really enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to others. Advice would be to book it very early in your stay so that you know about the town and the offerings as you navigate your holiday. Our guide Ellie was wonderful!

Our guides were Kai & Jade (her 1st tour). Jade was very personable and a very sweet young lady. Kai was excellent and gave us so much history and other related information. My favorite food was the fried avocado. The clam chowder, poke, fish & chips and gelato were all excellent as was the Mai Tai. We also had a rice with Spam energy bite(I can’t remember the name). And was good. The walking was not difficult as we would walk a bit and make a stop. I finally got to sample some local food. I would definitely recommend this tour.

This tour was so much fun. Kai and Evie were great tour guides. Just enough history and background information to keep it interesting. The food was great.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Kona Food tour thanks to Kama and Kai. Just wish we would have done this at the beginning of our stay so we could have returned to many of the locations. No worries - we'll be back soon!

We enjoyed our Kona Food Tour with Kai. He was knowledgeable, full or stories, and shared extra treats when he spoke. The tour included several stops for food and drinks at local restaurants, several of which we returned to during our vacation.

Excellent tour. Ellie and Kai did a great job infusing cultural and historical information during the tour . Wide variety of food and beverage offered - all yummy. Definitely recommend

The guides were absolutely amazing and so we all the food stops. I never knew what an excellent Poke bowl was until I went to one of the restaurants on the tour. I would suggest us tour to anybody who loves trying different foods.
