Fascinating look at how cacao is born and becomes chocolate. - The orchard is lovely and tour is very interesting. The guides, Katie and Max are highly knowledgeable (Max has a background in agriculture). The experience was personalized and well designed with explanations and tastings of pods, beans, nibs—all part of the cacao lifecycle. The end of the tour is a family style tasting of the various products of the orchard and it is a worthy payoff. Note: this is not an “off the bus run into the shop tourist stop.” It’s the real deal and highly recommended for the truly interested visitor.

Great mellow activity for a group - Informative tour of the orchard. Nice small groups. Great chocolate tasting. We were able to taste cocoa straight from the pods as well as the juice which was incredible.

Beautiful, educational and delicious farm tour! - Such an amazing farm tour! It had all of the perfect ingredients; that the beauty of the natural and farm plantings, great educational opportunity and a yummy tasting of the best chocolate in the world! Max was a knowledgeable and approachable farm tour guide. Katie was the perfect assistant and provided all of our “ educational tastings”. A must do tour when living or visiting on Oahu.

A true taste of Aloha! - Tour was more than what we bargained for. Our guide Max led us on a stroll through the rolling cacao orchards, an we got to taste not only three varieties of cacao but fresh native Hawaiian fruit too with the lovely Katie. My favorite was the Ice Cream bean fruit. Tasted like cotton candy and lychee!! After an easy stroll and educational “talk story” we ended up in the tasting room which overlooks all of Haleiwa and tried a wonderful variety of chocolate selections to include their very own single origin bar Kamananui. Would highly recommend!
