Overview

Discover the most in-depth cacao farm experience in Hawai‘i. This 3.5-hour guided tour at Honoli‘i Orchards is led by an expert in the craft chocolate industry and offers an immersive journey through the world of cacao.

Walk the orchards, explore every stage of production—from harvest to fermentation and drying—and learn how fine chocolate is made. No question goes unanswered; the tour adapts to your curiosity, offering a curated educational experience shaped by your interests.

You'll finish with a seminar on the history of chocolate and the most extensive craft chocolate tasting in the state, sampling a curated selection of 10 or more of Hawai‘i’s best single-origin bars, including our own award-winning chocolate.

This isn’t just a tour—it’s a deep dive into the art, science, and soul of chocolate. For those who want more than a taste—for those who want to understand—this is Hawai‘i’s premier chocolate experience.

Activity itinerary

On your way to our farm, you'll drive through some of the Big Island's rarely experienced scenic back roads. Our farm is 5 minutes from Hilo and 1.7 miles up Puia Road, in historic ulu, sugarcane, macadamia, and cattle land. Upon arrival at the farm, sit above the canopy and enjoy the stunning ocean and valley views from the Honolii Orchards Tasting Room. Explore the Hamakua Coast’s agricultural history and chat casually before touring the orchards with your guide Wrenn Bunker. We'll discover the secrets of cacao farming and the mysteries of cacao fermentation. Afterward, delve into chocolate's history, from ancient Mesoamerica to the modern craft movement, before savoring diverse craft chocolates from across Hawaii and experiencing the single-origin nuances as genetics and environment meld flavors. Taste fresh cacao juice, roasted beans, cacao tea, and seasonal fruits. Conclude with insights into chocolate’s craft transformation, akin to Napa’s wine scene. This tour offers a comprehensive education, tastings, and a serene pace, leaving you enriched and knowledgeable. You'll return home with lasting memories and an enhanced appreciation for cacao and chocolate.
