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.

What the Experience Feels Like

The flow is deliberately small and intimate: a refreshing ocean water foot soak to start, then a private, guided walk through the working salt farm where staff explain the blending of traditional Hawaiian technique and modern ocean science, and finally an oceanfront firepit tasting as the day fades to twilight.
