There were 4 couples...
There were 4 couples traveling together and we always like to try a food tour where ever we go. This tour was amazing with Kai and Ellie as our guides. We sampled local cuisine and learned a little bit about the area. The places we visited offered great service and wonderful food. We actually went back to the Kona Inn for sun set dinner and visited Kai eat n drinks for happy hour later during our time on the island. We loved the poke - some of us had never had it and were surprised at how great it tasted. The fish and chips were tried were wonderful as well. If you are looking for a fun afternoon activity exploring places to eat and getting a little local history at the same time - I would definitely recommend this tour
