What really made the event special was spending time with Gigi. She is an endless source of information and you can see and feel her passion for Hawaii, the culture and its people. Gigi sits with you and keeps you entertained with interesting stories and facts about Hawaii. Even though we grew up here on Maui, we still learned many interesting things and totally enjoyed the entire experience.
My husband and I were celebrating our 25th anniversary and we chose this tour after reading all the reviews. It’s been over a month and we are STILL talking about it! My husband and I travel a lot, have done about 10 food tours and have been to Maui about 20 times. Hands down, this was the most unique and fun. Each restaurant on the tour was ready with a special table, special greeting, special tasting plates and everyone knew it was our anniversary and came to congratulate us by name! Only 8 people on the tour, 4 couples, and I later learned that they only have a maximum of 10 guests which made me feel even more exclusive. Oh and the food….just unbelievable but go hungry because there is a lot of it. We ate at places I wouldn’t have gone to and have returned to 2 of the places since. The way history and culture are woven into the tour with just the right tips are unparalleled to any tour we have been on in Hawaii. I thought the part about ocean safety was remarkable as it’s not something we hear much about. I finally know why we don’t turn our back on waves and why we don’t touch turtles. Hawaii Tasting Tours really knows their stuff and has so many little special touches from hand wipes, photos, dental floss even which really impressed me. That is someone who really knows how to keep their guests comfy. The week before we arrived we got a jam packed email full of info and a reminder 3 days prior to the tour. The cost is more than worth it but the only thing we wish we did was to take it at the start of our vacation. I had read the other comments on tripadvisor about that but ignored it so it’s really good advice. We only had 2 days to eat again at the places we experienced on the tour so go earlier on your vacation because you will want to visit all of them again. This was the highlight of Hawaii for us and really made us feel what aloha (and ono) is. Try it, you will not be disappointed!!
This Tasting Tour comes highly recommended.
Gigi’s Hawaii Tasting Tour of restaurants in Lahaina is a must do event for kama'aina and visitors alike. You get to enjoy the best table in the house and the best signature dishes paired with wine or an exotic cocktail. It’s so easy. You just show up, and Gigi and the restaurant staff will cater to your needs. I love that we did not have to spend time with the menu to figure out a meal that can sometimes be a hit or miss.
My wife and I celebrated our honeymoon in Maui and while researching the activities we came across this tasting tour. Let me just say that it was the best experience we had in Maui. I highly recommend this tour, every time someone talks about going to Maui we mention the tour. Whenever we go back to Maui we will be going on the tour again.
