KAILUA-KONA PRIVATE FIELD GUIDE
Fire, Salt and Sea: A Private Salt-Farm Sunset in Kailua‑Kona — By Request Only
A two-hour, private oceanfront tour and tasting at Hawai‘i’s only visitor-accessible salt farm; this guide outlines what to expect from the foot soak through the sunset firepit tasting.
Fire, Salt and Sea: A Private Salt-Farm Sunset in Kailua‑Kona — By Request Only.
Set on the ocean in Kailua‑Kona, Kona Sea Salt – The Farm runs Hawai‘i’s only salt operation that welcomes visitors. The two-hour private experience pairs a Cold Deep Ocean Water Mineral Foot Soak and a guided tour of the working salt farm — where ancient Hawaiian tradition meets modern ocean science drawing from deep ocean waters 2,200 feet below — then moves to an oceanfront firepit for a tasting of house salts with light bites and signature deep-ocean cocktails or mocktails.
