A tasty & memorable experience - Really fun & interesting food tour. Host Max knew the food trucks/restaurants, people behind the scenes & area well. It seemed a bit pricey but in the end these are the experiences one always remembers.

Great away to learn about this quaint town from a local! - Our guide Max was awesome. It’s a nice little town. We walked around tried different food items with amazing food stories that are local to this Hanalei coast. It’s definitely worth a visit again. Maybe next time we can stay there. A great way to see the town with a local!

Great food tour in Hanalei! - We had a wonderful time with Max! Being food tour guides ourselves in New Orleans we understand what makes a good food tour and Max definitely delivered. His food choices and unbelievable knowledge made every stop enjoyable. We also appreciated that they decided to book us even though we were the only 2 guests booked for that day. Do the tour first thing so Max can fill the rest of your stay with great recommendations! Oh and bring an extra stomach!

You won’t leave hungry - Don’t eat breakfast that morning. So much food is served! Easy, short walk between food stops. Sampled full size portions at 6 locations. Friendly guide. Enjoyable afternoon.

Fun in Hanalei - It was a fun activity for a few hours and supports local business. Tour guide was great however dietary alerts were not conveyed to the guide even though they were noted during purchase. This happened with two of the three parties on the tour.

Only 4 food places visited - Only went to 3 food places • fish place for 5 very small servings of sashimi • 4 pieces of fried taro and beans small patties • 3rd place place, we received 2 friend chicken, macaroni and rice • 4th and last place - we received 2 pieces of chocolate truffle I’ve been to Catalina island walking food tour, and we visited 8 restaurants including dessert place. This Hanalei walking food tour was not worth the $139 we each paid for.

ideas - We were hoping to have more historical information about Hanalei and perhaps origin of food (ie. taro). Also guide walked forward at head of group when talking on busy street (perhaps walking backwards so we could hear comments). Also quite expensive considering the food provided.
