This place filled in. my knowledge about cacao. With an actual taste of the fruit and nib, that i did not know is edible out of the pod. our guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour really educational and interesting. Essential for choco lovers.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It was our favorite thing we did during our week in Oahu.
Great tour with a very knowledgeable tour guide. The chocolate tasting was very good. A nice store area to buy some great chocolate.
Such a unique Hawaiian tour! We love chocolate and had no idea what was involved in eating chocolate! Katie was an awesome guide! Very informative and engaging. Great experience!!
The guide was so knowledgeable and the chocolate was fantastic. They even went out of their way to get us back to the road. Dan took his time to drive us out of there for us to uber back to Waikīkī. They supplied bug spray for you and made sure you could answer questions and were super helpful and friendly.
This was a fantastic tour! One of the highlights of our trip. Driving to the site is a bit of an experience itself since it is quite a distance down more than one gravel road, but we really didn't have any trouble finding the location and it added a sense of being in the very middle of the farm. We were in a small group of about 8 people and our guide Kate was engaging and very knowledgeable. We were greeted with cacao tea (which was delicious) and offered bug spray if needed. Kate then walked us through the cacao orchard detailing not only the cacao trees, but other plants and fruits that are grown on the farm and giving the background for the inclusion of those plants on the farm. We stopped at a small open area when she opened some cacao pods and we were able to taste the fruit. She explained all the processing steps and welcomed any questions we had. We then walked to a open seating area where we had the actual chocolate tasting - about 10 different varieties. It was simply a lovely experience for all the senses! Oh, and did I mention the beautiful peacocks on the drive in?
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the farm. Everything was organized and professional from start to finish. Starting with cacao tea, bug spray and a banana, Katie and Kayleigh were warm and personable. They were extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of cacao farming. The chocolate tasting at the end was fun and very informative. Give these two young women a raise!
This is an unforgettable experience! Well worth the time away from the beach. It was a comfortable and informative opportunity to see how we get the chocolate we can enjoy. Beautiful farm and friendly guide. No questions were stupid questions. Ask away. Such a great experience!
Such a great experience! Katie was very knowledgeable and conversational, and the cacao/chocolate tasting was divine. Our favorite activity on the island!
It was a wonderful informative tour. The people were super knowledgeable and friendly. A great place to visit.
