Salt of the Earth
- Journey to nearby salt flats with a cultural ambassador on this Salt Harvesting Experience, where you will learn how ancient Hawaiians harvested salt decades ago. You will then be led through a private, interactive cooking class with a member of our culinary team, who will incorporate the salt into your dishes and further explain the ways it was traditionally used in Hawaiian cooking. The salts are also used in the Salts of the Ocean body treatment at the Hualalai Spa.
Catch of the Day
- Sip champagne and taste freshly harvested oysters on the Hualalai Seafood Experience. A Resort Marine Naturalist leads you behind-the-scenes at Punawai Pond, home to our unique oyster farming process. The tour then leads to the Herb Garden, where a Resort chef shares the inter-workings of the Resort's hyper-local food and beverage philosophy and invites guests to catch Pacific White Shrimp from the shrimp pens. The experience concludes at 'Ulu Ocean Grill where guests enjoy a five-course custom meal featuring the Resort's oysters, shrimp, and more of Hawaii Island's freshest seafood.
Farm to Cup
- Take a deep dive into the fascinating world of coffee growing at the Hawaii Island Coffee Experience. In a private tour of a local coffee farm, you’ll meet the farmers, learn what makes Kona coffee so irresistible and end the experience with a tasting, where our resident coffee expert will guide you through the flavors of the Island, with petit fours prepared by our Executive Pastry Chef.
