Amazing food tour
Rosie_H
, Aug. 2022
Best food tour in Hawaii, hands down. Lanai took us to amazing eateries and we were able to try authentic Hawaiian foods in the area. My absolute favorite was the ube dessert and the manapua but honestly, all the food we tasted was spectacular. It was awesome being guided by Lanai and it was a small group, just me and my friend and it offered us an opportunity to ask as many questions as possible. He’s super knowledgeable not only in Hawaiian foods but in other cuisines as well. The drive was smooth in his Tesla and I would highly recommend this to anyone who is a foodie and looking to eat where the locals go.
Hawaiian Food for Real Foodies

This is THE foodie tour. Real authentic Hawaiian, not the commercial stuff at luaus. He takes you to hidden diners in industrial parks, a family owned noodle factory, the best place for fresh, hot taro chips, etc. This is for people who want to eat like well informed locals. This is not garlic shrimp and a scoop of rice. Highly recommend!!
Awesome personalized tour!

We were picked up by our cordial, friendly, informative tour guide. We loved the grocery store, learned much about foods native to Hawaii that we do not see in the states. Loved the blend of snacks (chips), main course and dessert. Time line was perfect. Travel was very pleasant/comfortable.
Great Honolulu Food tour

He met us at the cruise terminal. He took us around to several local markets and restaurants. Our last sto was a small local restaurant and he ordered local food for us. He was born in Hawaii and told us about a lot of the history of the area and of the food. He went through what food was original and what was brought in. The poi wasn’t as bad as I had been to.d.
Outstanding Tour and Great Food

Lanai and Shawn were incredible hosts. We found the whole experience to be friendly, eductational and very, very filling.
It was great to try all of the different dishes and learn the origins of each dish. Most importantly, the welcome and hospitality were so warm. We felt like we were long lost friends and, frankly, that made the experience even better.
I wish I could rate over 5 on this. We will absolutely take this tour again.

Lanai was a wonderful guide. He is very personable and he was very informative on the Hawaiian culture and food. He took us to places a tourist would never find and told us about the local food and customs. Come with an empty stomach because the food just keeps coming.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
