We’ve won a traveller’s choice award 2022!

by | Sep 22, 2022

Every year, Tripadvisor celebrates attractions that consistently deliver brilliant experiences with a Travellers’ Choice Award—and this year, we are proud to say we are part of an exclusive group, ranking among the top 10% of listings on Tripadvisor.

Our one-of-a-kind tour is recommended for anyone interested in salt’s place in our history, culture, food and in what makes Halen Môn Sea Salt a world-famous seasoning. We finish with a tutored sea salt tasting.

Our innovative building is nestled in the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and houses a contemporary gift shop too, full of wares from near and far (you don’t need to book a tour to visit the shop.) We also have an outdoor cafe – Tide/ Llanw – which always has cover from the elements in our tipi surrounded by a wild flower meadow, and plenty of  home-made cakes and hot drinks. 

A recent tour review:

I persuaded my husband and our 4 friends to do the tour but was a bit worried that they would give me some stick for it being a bit dry. How wrong could I be!

Rob delivered a really interesting and informative presentation and it was lovely to see how passionate he is about his job and the company.

I had no idea that salt could pack so much flavour if produced with so much care and how many varieties there are and the range of products it is used for.

The tour has completely changed my view and will certainly change my shopping habits.The shop had lots of different types of sea salt and a wide range of other lovely items too. We all bought more than we expected to! A great experience and thoroughly recommended.” @Mr-and-Mrs-CP, Tripadvisor, 4th July 2022.

Excellent Guided Tour Excellent tour by knowledgable, enthusiastic and occasionally witty Mike. A really interesting behind the scenes look at how they make the world-renown sea salt with the added special touch of a salt-tasting session at the end. It’s expensive stuff is Halen Mon but when you see the effort and care that goes into making it you can understand why and appreciate it all the more.

Wonderful! My partner and I went on a very wet, cool Monday in July. I did end up feeling the whole experience was somehow even nicer in the rain! The water temperature is lovely and warm and so incredibly relaxing. The view is spectacular and so peaceful. We both loved the whole thing. The seaweed creates oil in the water which felt great and my (very dry) skin was really moisturised afterwards. The changing rooms are really good and there are loos in the shop. The staff were super friendly and helpful. One thing I did forget to take was a drink. You do need one (as you can feel a bit dehydrated) - or two - but you can buy them in the shop if need be. Although you are advised not to take valuables, I took my phone to the bath and did take some good photos (there is a hook so you can hang a small bag on the barrel). All in all a lovely experience - very, very relaxing. It's not cheap, but I felt it was worth the cost. I would definitely do it again.

Special treat in the seaweed baths Treated my daughter to a wellness/relaxing experience in the seaweed baths. We really enjoyed it - the views and peacefulness are lovely. The seaweed infuses in the warm water and makes your skin feel great. It was very different and fun. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and we would come again for a treat -although it is perhaps a little bit pricey to use regularly. Would definitely recommend it as a unique experience in one of the most stunning parts of Anglesey.

Super seaweed bath in a stunning, tranquil setting We had a fantastic time relaxing in these very special tubs overlooking the Menai Straights and Eryri mountain range with an inquisitive baby bunny and lovely birdsong for company.The natural oil in the seaweed softens the skin and you leave feeling completely relaxed. Thank you Sam for making our seaweed bath a fantastic experience. We were worried about getting in and out of the tubs but that wasn't a problem thanks to your help. We're looking forward to returning soon.

Interesting tour but ridiculous expensive shop took the edge of the enjoyment Booked to go on one of the factory tours and thoroughly enjoyed it, apart from the very spoilt child who threw a very loud tantrum whenever her mother or father didn't do as she wanted. The tour leader coped very well and did his best to strike a good balance for us as, after all, it was not his fault.The tasting was fun and interesting and we thoroughly enjoyed that aspect.Unfortunately, the prices in the shop were beyond ridiculous. We knew the cost of the salt and related items would be expensive, as it is a quality item but the rest of the items for sale, whilst excellent quality, were way out of our reach.We ended up buying nothing, although I would dearly have loved several of the items in the shop. This aspect of our visit was very disappointing.I noticed that no one from our tour bought anything and at least one person said to me that the prices were extortionate.Perhaps an age limit could be considered for the comfort of all visitors and perhaps a single use percentage off voucher could be given to those attending a tour.

Seaweed baths are a great experience , very relaxing with nice views of the strait. Have previously done the tour which was very interesting but this time booked the new seaweed baths as an anniversary surprise. It was a really nice relaxing experience as only 2 of the six baths are available in each time slot due to them having to be cleaned and refilled. If you do want more than 2 people you can book the next slots and specify you want them all at the same time. My wife loved it and we are going to do it again in winter. Thanks to Sam who was very informative and looked after us.

A very interesting afternoon We were booked on the tour of the factory courtesy of some friends as a birthday treat. It was a really interesting experience and we now know a lot more about sea salt production than we did. Lewis our guide was very good and we enjoyed the video.A visit is recommended
