did the tour and highly recommend. the guide was the owner / ceo and very informative and detailed about the process . showing us the set up and sets it takes to make chocolate and explaining the differences. they even gave us $25 dollar gift card after the tour to use to buy something . omg and mange dark milk flavors were the best flavors we tried
The owner Mr Gunner Gave the tour of the factory very personable and full of information. He shows you everything and explains why. They have a rooftop lounge with a great view leave time to have a glass of wine. Part of the tour is a chocolate tasting you get nine pieces very high quality.
Great tour , very interesting, loved the details of what it takes to make this world class top chocolate - CEO scientist was the tour guide- very passionate - in retrospect now I wish I would’ve also booked the farm tour to see both . Delicious delicious chocolate
We just took the tour of the Ku’ia chocolate farm and factory. It is definitely worth doing!! It included chocolate tastings, a farm walk with education, and a great lunch in the tree house. Our tour guide Steph was so helpful and fun. She walked us through the whole history, the growing process, as well as what goes on in the factory. We met fantastic people in our group with a lot of aloha spirit. Afterwards we were given a 20% off coupon and indulged in more chocolate. The owner of the factory is very caring of Maui and uses proceeds to help Lahaina. It’s honestly a win-win and it’s worth the cost of the tour. You’ll leave with a full belly and a huge smile!!!
We loved it. The owner himself was the tour guide. Very interesting to see the curtain pulled back on the whole process. I really enjoyed trying all the samples. My favorites were the peppermint chocolate and lemongrass chocolate 🍫
It was informative and fun. An amazing experience to be in a tour with the owner. He was both knowledgeable and friendly.
It was quite interesting to learn all about the chocolate making process. We got to taste many flavors of chocolate at the end of the tour. A chocolate flight, you might call it. The owner, Gunars, sure knows his stuff. Very cool experience.
This was honestly the most inspiring tour I have ever been on. What this company does- from running on solar panels to paying unskilled workers a living wage of $30 an hour. They ethically grow, source and make their chocolate! Even buying a second machine for milk and dark chocolate so dark is truly dairy free! Buy this chocolate, go to the Sunday tour. Visit the Island, learn, and contribute to something good!!! This is a must do place!!
The tour ends with a tasting in a lovely setting on the rooftop. I would have wanted to spend more time there but we had only allowed for an hour and a half. Our guide was very interesting and our group asked so many questions that our tour ran over.
We had a great experience seeing the entire process of the manufacturing of chocolate from the cacao beans to the shelling to the roasting and creating the coco nibs and then the powder and finally turning it into chocolate. The owner even showed us the flavoring process and packaging the chocolate. It was an excellent experience.
