About this activity

Make your way to the meeting point in central Honolulu where your local guide greets you. As you munch on the first delectable dish, your guide provides an overview of Hawaii’s culinary traditions.

Your guide is an enthusiastic foodie who takes you to the best local places, many of which tourists rarely step foot in. During your 2.5-hour culinary tour, expect to walk about 1.5 miles (2.5km) for stops at up to seven establishments.

Some of the samples you may try include: ube pancakes, taro latte, Hawaiian BBQ baby back ribs, garlic shrimp, a Japanese-style steak roll, takoyaki (Japanese dumpling). Spam musubi (think sushi roll), loco moco (rice topped with meat, egg and gravy) and shave ice are among the Hawaiian favorites that you might get to taste. Each place offers generous portions that will leave you feeling full at the end of your culinary adventure. (menu subject to changes)

In addition to showing you great food spots, your guide also shares historic and cultural information about the Ala Moana neighborhood, one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in Honolulu.

After a fun, informative and tasty walk, your tour ends near Ala Moana beach.

Please note: This is a sample itinerary. The dishes might change due to availability. If you have food allergies, please specify them at the time of checkout in the "special requirements" field.

Ryan was great. We walked to the initial meeting spot from our hotel on Waikiki Beach about 45 mins. All the restaurants were within comfortable walking distance. The food was excellent, and Ryan was a great guide. A tour like this is a very worthwhile use of an afternoon while in a different country/city to get away from the tourist eateries and experience the food locals eat. Can't recommend enough.

The Eat Like a Local Hawaii Food Tour lived up to its name, as all of the places he took us were places no tourists ever would have wandered into on their own. In fact most were little local dives and food courts with delicious Asian-inspired food. However all of them were places I’d come back to in a heartbeat. This is the real side of Hawaii that few people get to experience. Far, far away from the touristy luaus and sunset dinner cruises. This is the real Hawaii.

Your guide was very friendly and we had the opportunity to taste local foods (that locals eat!) and some more modern traditional Hawaiian food.
