This Is What The Wonderful World Of Chocolate Is All About! - For those of you who think CHOCOLATE is a primary food group, this is your tour! The cacao orchards are in the foothills overlooking the famous north shore surfing beaches and are nestled into the beautiful native forests of Hawaii. The scenery alone is worth the trip. And then there is the tour! This much more than a just a farm of cacao trees. The staff at Kalakaua cacao Orchards are bringing science into the growing and producing of exceptional quality chocolates in Hawaii. The tour guides and professional botanists provide a comprehensive demonstration of all of the steps from planting the seeds to savoring the subtle differences between the varieties of chocolates they produce. You get to taste a fresh unprocessed seed from a pod cut from a tree in your presence, then a dried seed followed with a roasted seed so you can understand the way quality chocolate is produced. Next is the tasting room experience conducted in the style of an exceptional wine tasting session without any of the snobbery! This is a tour that lets you see, touch, smell and taste the wonderful world of chocolate.

The (Bitter)Sweet Life - Having lived in Waialua along the beach, I used to gaze up at the foothills of the Waianae’s and imagine life on the land there. Today I got to experience the sweet life! Driving up the long road through the old farms is to both drop back in time and visit the future all at once. Kate our guide shared her enthusiasm for and deep knowledge of cacao, farming, and the North Shore life. Highly recommended!

Fantastic tour - Fantastic tour. Our tour guide was an excellent storyteller and educator. Her enthusiasm was infectious and made the tour better than I could have imagined. The tasting and tour were fun, but Chari was even better. :)

Amazing Farm Tour - My Dad and I booked a tour while on O’ahu, and it was one of our favorite experiences while on the island. Our host Shari was incredibly personable, kind, and knowledgeable. The farm itself is beautiful, and the orchard is building a truly sustainable, locally focused agricultural model that celebrates Hawaii. Definitely book while visiting!
