5.00This was my favorite tour from all that we chose on our Maui and Kauai adventure. Our tour guide, Brooke, was knowledgeable and really fun! We tasted a variety of fruits grown on the farm, most of which were new to me. We saw how chocolate was made, from the cacao plant. We tasted raw cacao, directly from the fruit itself. We watched her grind it into a paste. Then, we tasted many flavors of chocolate, looking for different tasting notes. Highly enjoyable!
Great experience!

5.00It was amazing to hear and see how everything is made and taken care of a bit over loading on the chocolate so bring a salty snack like nuts for sure but it was really good our tour guide Brooke was so friendly and upbeat had an amazing group to go with that as well. Wear a hat and bring a water bottle saved us in the long run but 10/10 do this if you are heat on the island.
