Chef Ann and her cohort Patty do a marvelous job of giving a unique view and taste of the Island. Incorporating many native foods, Chef Ann provides many dishes for a progressive Brunch experience set in their choice of three wonderfully different homes on the Island. The tour lasts about 4 hours, with pickup at various hotels and the dock... More

Wonderful experience to go to three different homes and have freshly prepared food: brunch type food, snacks, entrees and desserts. Small group experience (no more than 12 or so). There is a selection of 15 homes for the tour to choose from, so each tour is a bit different. Great mango gazpacho and passion fruit mousse. Our tour had places... More

Home Tours Hawaii allowed us to see inside private homes while sampling the wonderful foods provided by Chef Ann Sutherland. While Pat drove Ann gave a narration of the areas we were driving through and told stories about her experiences working for Ethel Kennedy and other chef positions. The homes we visited were very interesting and each had its own... More

Chef Ann is so very entertaining with the stories she told of her family and career. The food was fabulous. The homes featured were each unique in its own way with very gracious hosts willing to interact with the tour. I would definitely do this tour again and again. More

My mom and two aunts took this tour while the rest of our party went snorkeling. When we picked them up after, they were RAVING about their time with Chef Ann and told us in detail how much fun they had. It was a unique opportunity to meet some really interesting people (Chef Ann has led a fascinating life!) and... More

I wrote a Review but couldn't get it to submit. So forgot what I wrote! Anyway, it was a great tour and I would do it again next year in Kona. However, wouldn't recommend it for children or the "meat and potatoes only" type of people. You have to enjoy trying different foods (but all delicious). Small portions each house,... More

I went on this tour on the day before Thanksgiving in 2010. The ladies picked me up promptly at 8 am from the cruise ship--and I was the only passenger from the ship to take this tour. There were approx. 6 other ladies, though, on the tour. The first home was close to the pier and on the ocean. We... More
