We had a great time on our tour! Rissi was a wonderful guide who is super knowledgable about not only the chocolate making process, but the history of Lahaina and Maui. Getting to walk the farm and learn about the care and thoughtfulness put into the chocolate making process made the tasting feel all the more special and meaningful. And the chocolate was absolutely delicious! This is definitely a worthwhile Maui experience, especially if it's your first time in Lahaina. Mahalo Rissi!
This tour was a great way to spend the morning! Rissy was our guide and she was knowledgeable, funny, and really made the experience. We walked through cacao fields and learned about the steps to making chocolate. We could touch cacao pods, and cocoa nibs, and ended with a tasting of 9 chocolates with a beautiful view. The location was easy to find. 10/10 experience!
Amazing in every way! So informative and educational! Shaded from the hot sun.
Our guide was phenomenal- think it was Sean? Slender and glasses. He was fun, really knowledgeable, attentive to individual needs. Would recommend, couldn’t ask for anything better. Folks in store equally awesome. Thank you so much!
Sean our tour guide was amazing! The made the tour educational and fun. The farm was pretty and not too physical.
Very informative. Gabe was a great guide, fun and knew his stuff! Taste testing in the treehouse was beautiful and yummy!
You should definitely go on a Maui Chocolate tour! Our guide (Carissa) was so fun and informative. You will get to see the fields and learn about the history (and philanthropy) and the growing and processing steps with delicious samples along the way. There's also a great cafe with yummy desserts as well!
Nice tour. Wish it was a little longer.
Rissi (Carissa) was great! She made it fun and interesting
It was lovely to try local chocolate and experience some history on the island of Maui! We enjoyed the chocolate tasting! Everyone was lovely.
