Enjoyable and delicious food tour! - We love doing food tours where ever we travel and Max didn’t disappoint in Kauai. Food was great, scenery was beautiful and Max was a great guide. He was kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable about kauai. We even had our 7 month old in tow and we had a great time! Would highly recommend.

Great tour and we would go again - Great tour. We were able to sample local dishes and had more than enough to eat. The guide was a local and very knowledgeable about the area, the culture, the history and of course the food. We would do it again.

A taste of Hanalei - It was a very pleasant (and tasty) tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the food offerings of Hanalei as well as many aspects of Kauai and Hawaii culture and history. It was an eclectic and delicious journey. The tour guide also spent some time provided context to both Hawaiian cuisine but also its rich culture. It's a great way to spend a couple hours to explore the many culinary treats and treasures Hanalei has to offer.

A wonderful experience with Max’s expertise in food, culture and history! Learn from someone who knows Kauai's best. - A beautiful day highlighted the tour of a variety of authentic, delicious foods, prepared by local family owners who have created a special “island family” culture. Max’s conversation was easy and filled with humorous and challenging experiences of local history. Comfortably paced for food consumption and walking. Very enjoyable!!

We had a blast on the... - We had a blast on the food tour. This was my 13 year olds pick of what to do on vacation and it did not disappoint. Tasty food with an expert. So much fun. My kids have not stopped talking about the chili chicken we tasted. Such a fun time in paradise.

So Much More Than Just Food ... - Nalu (or "Max") at Ono Kauai Food Tours was a great host! He truly took an interest in what foods people liked/disliked ahead of time and at the beginning of the tour and did his best to tailor the tour to people's preferences. My favorite was eating taro tempura; love trying new foods. Nalu/Max's enthusiasm for the culinary arts and Hanalei and Hawaiian history was wonderful, so much so that he kept answering our questions for an hour after the tour was suppose to end. Wear comfortable shoes, bring a water bottle or buy a drink in Hanalei, and enjoy!
