Beautiful and Informative - The tour with Katie was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the growing process of cacao. Top 5 reasons you should go: 1. The chocolate tasting is amazing. Both the chocolate and the tasting room. It is a serene beautiful location 2. Learn about the cacao growing process 3. Experience the farm country of Oahu. I didn’t even know there was anything in the northwest corner of Oahu 4. They think of everything, including bug repellent spray, which we really didn’t need but good to have available 5. You have to experience the bathroom….amazing

Best tour during two-week, four-island visit! - This was a TERRIFIC tour! Katie was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about the farm and the cacao-chocolate process. Walking among the rows of cacao trees from acre to acre was a sensory delight! Along the walk, Katie explained the uses of multiple types of vegetation and provided tasting samples of Hawaiian fruits including cacao in its various stages for reference. The grand finale was a tasting of MANY, MANY, MANY types of chocolate with cacao tea as a “cleanser.” Thank you Katie for providing a wonderful finale to our two-week vacation in Hawaii! Best tour experience!

Walk amongst cacao trees and learn how cacao is grown, harvested, fermented, dried and then roasted to make fantastic chocolate. - The tour was one of the most memorable and enjoyable tours we took while visiting both the Big island and Oahu during our 12 day stay in Hawaii. I highly recommend this tour if you enjoy experiences that aren't your typical "touristy" type tours.

Cacao Farm & Chocalate tasting! - This is an actual real Cacao Farm where you can see and experience the Cacao before and after the chocalate is produced. We were able to taste lots of chocolate. It was so far up the hill on the Island we were able to experience a whole other climate in Hawaii. It even had a good down pour on us. We loved this tour. It was informative and adventures but easy too.

Chocolate tastes better on the farm! - My husband and I really enjoyed the Kamananui Orchard Tour! The views were beautiful and our tour guide, Katie, taught us so much about the chocolate farming process. The tour concluded with a delicious chocolate tasting! This is great way to escape the busyness of Waikiki and see the quiet beauty of Oahu. The farm’s proximity to historic Haleiwa allowed us time to get in a shopping trip as well.

Such a fun adventure - Our family really enjoyed the tour. The group was small (max of 10). It is all walking but the ground is level and the distance is short with several stops along the way. Katy was an excellent guide. She took all our questions and answered them very well. She also made the kids feel included. Beautiful setting, easy to find with your directions. We learned so much! And the chocolate is delicious.

Enjoyable and Informative - This tour was so great! It was extremely informative, interesting, and enjoyable. The chocolate tasting at the end was the best part (obviously) but learning the process of how the cacao becomes the yummy product made you appreciate every bite!
