5.00This was such a fun experience! We had Jess as a guide. She is a wealth of knowledge. She shared with us information on every plant/fruit/vegetable in the botanical garden. Which was an added bonus on top of all of the chocolate education! We enjoyed ourselves and would recommend them! Chocolate was also amazing.
Fun and interesting!

5.00There was some walking but not too much. The entire tour is outside but spend some time sitting under a tent cover. Tried several fruits and chocolates. It was an interesting experience seeing what the cocoa beans look like from the plant and learning how chocolate is made.
Great chocolate and vibes!

5.00Awesome experience! Jenna was very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the subject matter. Her upbeat attitude set the stage for tasting delicious chocolate, honey, and fruit. We learned a lot about the history of cacao in Hawaii as well as about the growing and fermenting processes. Highly recommend!
Oh Chocolate 🤗

5.00We went at the end of the tourist season in August, so it was very hot. Bring water, wear bug spray (they provide a non-DEET spray, but it didn't work for me) and dress accordingly. It is not a strenuous walk and there are some slight hills. There are plenty of stops and one long stop toward the end of the tour where you can sit under the shade of a lanai to try different chocolates. Mason, our tour guide, was a lot of fun, very knowledgeable and a gifted speaker. He even gave us some great leads for eateries to try after our tour was done! Overall a lovely tour and a great chocolate tasting experience!
