Kona Cacao Orchard Tour - 90 minutes

  • New Orchard Location Coming Soon!, Donkey Mill Road Honalo, HI, 96725 United States (map)

1.5 hour tour covering how cacao is grown in Hawaii. Entirely outdoors under the 2000-tree cocoa canopy and sheltered tasting at the end.

This tour accommodates up to 10 people visiting a Hawaiian Cacao (or Cocoa) Orchard just 10 minutes south of Kona.

This is a pristine, mature orchard with nearly 2,000 cocoa trees under a refreshingly cool natural tree canopy that grows delicious cocoa bean organically.

We will stroll the tropical cocoa orchard and view how cocoa is grown and where your favorite food, chocolate, comes from!

You will handle fresh cocoa pods, open and taste fresh fruit and pulp you can't taste at home. We will discuss how beans are converted to chocolate and then retreat to the sheltered area to taste up to 5 samples - dark, milk, and white as well as from different regions of Hawaii and the world. Chocolate will never be the same - it will be tastier!

The orchard terrain is uneven and has inclines for portions which may be challenging for some. We encounter mixed rocks and gravel. 

Soap Factory on premise with amazing natural soaps using premium ingredients and cocoa parchment!

COVID19 - the tour is conducted entirely outdoors with no more than 10 guests allowed. If you are not comfortable with touring with other guests, you may purchase all the tickets so that just your party members are in attendance.

Please inform us ahead of time if any accessbility requirements are needed.

Reservations are required at least 12 hours ahead of time - our cocoa expert prepares only for the amount reserved. 

Minimum Attendance: Most people reserve the day before but if we have less than 4 signed up, we may have to cancel or reschedule the tour in order to better focus our limited resources.

REFUNDS - allowed up to 7 days prior. 

*Although rare, tour will proceed in wet weather, we have umbrellas.
