Overview

  • Tour of a working abalone aquaculture farm on the Kona Coast
  • Learn how abalone (a shellfish delicacy) is farmed using deep-sea water
  • Tasting typically included

A behind-the-scenes tour of one of Kona's abalone farms, which use the region's unique deep, cold seawater pumping infrastructure (originally built for ocean thermal energy research) to raise abalone. An educational, low-physical-effort activity.

Tripreviewall's Take

An interesting, easy-going alternative to Kona's ocean activities - good for a hot midday slot or a non-swimming day.

Good for
  • Foodies and aquaculture-curious travelers
  • Families wanting a low-intensity activity
  • Rainy or non-beach days
Worth knowing
  • This is an educational farm tour, not a hands-on harvesting experience - confirm exactly what's included
