"We were advised by multiple people to come to Kamaka’s tour, M-F at 10:30am, no need for reservations. They've been in the same location since the 50s, felt special to get a tour from the 3rd generation Kamaka himself. The high-end ukes are carefully crafted, and you learn a lot about the production and history! If you enjoy music and production, a great option in Honolulu!"
"I play a beautiful Kamaka tenor. After 6 years one tuning machine worked loose. I emailed them, and Masami emailed me right back. I emailed info and Eric called me right away and said they would send me a new tuner during the holidays. There's a reason a company can be so good after more than 100 years. Great company, great instruments, great people. Thanks"
"The tour of Kamala’s factory was amazing! Such a great experience to learn about the history of ukuleles, the company’s heritage, and also to see the process of how a Hawaiian uke is made. It’s a great activity for anybody, including those who aren’t ukulele players themselves. Staff are super friendly and they also have some very neat merchandise available."
"This is a must for ukulele players that having or eventually buying a high-end made in Hawaii ukulele. This factory has been at this location for over a hundred years with a proud legacy and continues to be a family operation. The tour included an introduction to the history of the ukulele in Hawaii. This is not a slick tourist tour, but a real working factory of local workers in a specialty trade. Don’t expect to buy an instrument as they have a backlog of orders - but you will have a chance to play with the instrument of your choice- I choose the pineapple and the eight string tenor. Highly recommend if you’re super into ukuleles."
"What a great tour! First, Uncle Fred (the son of the founder) gave us a history of the ukulele and Kamaka. He is an engaging speaker and passionate about his life's work. After that, his son Fred Jr. walked us through the shop from raw Koa to finished ukuleles. He describe techniques and technology and answered all of our questions. All of the staff was friendly and didn't seem to mind us coming in and taking pictures. It was fun to see where these legendary instruments come to life. Highly recommended."
