DOWNTOWN LĪHUʻE WALKING TOUR & LOCAL BITES

OVERVIEW

Tour through the heart of Lihue and enjoy tastings of local products whose ingredients and cultural relevance will be described in detail. Your guide will engage you in “talk story,” a Hawaiian term for a casual conversation in which they share personal experiences about the foods, beverages and community. You can expect to drop by Ha Coffee, a beloved locally owned community hub, where you will enjoy a specialty coffee or tea and a homemade baked treat. You will then be taken to Rob’s Good Times Grill, a locals watering spot, to sample some of their most popular items. No visit to Hawai`i is complete without trying a “musubi,” a local favorite for generations, which will then be followed by a sweet treat full of Hawaiian tropical flavors to end the day. Another stop will be made at the Alakoko Shop, a grant-funded gem showcasing only handmade treasures from local Kauai artisans who will receive 100% of the profits, offering you a meaningful opportunity to support authentic island craftsmanship.
