Kona Sea Salt – The Farm
Discover Hawaii's unique deep ocean salt harvesting on Kona Sea Salt’s 60-minute farm tour. Taste handcrafted salts and unwind with a mineral-rich deep ocean foot soak while soaking coastal views.
Kona Sea Salt – The Farm in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii operates Hawaii's only deep ocean salt farm and offers hands-on tours and therapeutic experiences. Located on the Kona coastline, the farm harvests mineral-rich seawater sourced from deep ocean currents 2,200 feet below the surface. Visitors can join a guided 60-minute Kona Salt Farm Tour to learn the salt harvesting process, sample handcrafted salts, and discover the cultural and practical significance of deep ocean mineral salt.
The Farm also offers a 20-minute Deep Ocean Cold Water Mineral Foot Soak held at a scenic Ocean View Cabana. The soak uses magnesium-rich seawater chilled to about 47 degrees to promote relaxation, reduce inflammation, and support recovery after activity. Guests often pair the foot soak with the farm tour to combine education with hands-on relaxation.
Educational content on tours covers harvesting techniques, salt processing, and tasting notes for different handcrafted salt varieties. Sampling opportunities let visitors compare flavor profiles and learn recommended culinary uses. The property’s coastal setting provides panoramic ocean views during tours and soaks, enhancing the visitor experience.
Kona Sea Salt – The Farm emphasizes transparency about its source and process, offering guests direct insight into deep ocean extraction and small-batch salt production. Reservations are recommended for both the 60-minute Kona Salt Farm Tour and the 20-minute Deep Ocean Cold Water Mineral Foot Soak to secure preferred times. The Farm provides clear, factual information about its products and experiences so visitors can make informed choices. Staff answer questions and explain salt uses daily.
