Unique experience and tour - Absolutely recommend this tour. It does take time to get to the farm but worth the travel. Great hearing the family story, learning the organic and natural way of growing plants and tasting the raw cocoa.

Great Day Trip - We had a wonderful trip to Hacienda Cufa. The historical story of Puerto Plata province taught by the guide and opportunity to ask questions was superb.
Walking through the jungle to see the chocolate plants was amazing and other plants were identified and talked about. We made, ate and even had a facial made of chocolate. We considered this an exceptional opportunity to experience the authentic Dominican Republic! Excellent trip overall. Karen, Kathie, Kristi and Dee

Unique experience to an authentic cacao grower. - This was a very unique visit to an organic cacao plantation. The third-generation owner was very friendly and provided a great experience.
Our driver and tour guide was over an hour late, but made up for it by staying an hour longer. We were traveling with kids and the delay pushed lunch back about 3 hours, which made for some grumpy guests. If you book this tour, be patient and bring snacks. Well worth the time.

Visited Chocolala instead of Hacienda Cufa - Unfortunately due to weather, we were unable to visit Hacienda Cufa. Instead, the tour took us to Chocolala. This was a lovely farm with a short tour and some nice photo opportunities. I also bought a few local artisan chocolates. I did feel disappointed to not get to experience making chocolate myself or getting the fuller experience of harvesting and learning about the hacienda or having the typical lunch on the farm. Nor did we get the chocolate facial. Hopefully next time we will be able to have the experience! The city tour after was nice though and we had a lot of flexibility with the private cab and very nice local tour guide Hector. It was a nice day for my 7 year old daughter and I but not what we had originally planned for.

Do not purchase this “tour” - This tour was not as described . Not private, no chocolate facial, no make your own chocolate, very little English spoken, no commentary or historical guiding, seatbelts not working in car. Thank goodness one of our party spoke Spanish. Most concerning of all was that the driver drank the wine samples at the chocolate place quite liberally. Save money and time and tour other chocolate factories for free that are in Puerto Plata (Del Oro etc).
