Recognized with the BADGE OF EXCELLENCE, we invite you to join one of Hawaii’s most thorough and intricate coffee and chocolate production tours. Gain an understanding of coffee’s journey, starting from its bloom until the last roast. Find out about the process behind the growth of chocolate, from its genesis to the resulting award-winning chocolate bar. And yes, try some for yourself! Furthermore, we take you behind the scenes of our soap factory to share how we brought about our signature product by incorporating farm-grown elements and authentic plant botanicals to concoct a non-allergenic soap. There’s no fragrance employed, making it safe for those with fragrance allergies. Embark on not just a tour but a 5-star-rated immersive experience commencing at 9 am.

Cacao, coffee, soap, and chickens! - This was such a fun and informative tour! Not only did we learn about coffee and chocolate, but we also learned about soap making. I highly recommend taking a few hours of your day to enjoy this gem.

Kokoleka Lani Farms - a Big Island wonder!! - Absolutely fabulous tour. I was skeptical about a 3 hour tour but we were all mesmerized with information about this 5 acre amazing farm. Learned about coffee making, chocolate and soap making. Kudos to Gary and his crew. Please don’t pass up the opportunity to visit this gem! And take some soap, coffee and chocolate home!

Amazing tour of Kona Natural Soap company and their production of cacao, coffee, and natural soap. - Loads of information on all species of flora and fauna found on the farm. Tour included walking through the cacao trees, viewing the coffee plants, watching the soap making process. The co-owner, Greg was very knowledgeable about all of their products and how they were made. The tour was about 3 hours in length and was great fun.

Superb Kona coffee farm tour - My wife and I did not know what to expect, but the tour turned out to exceed expectations. Our tour guide through the farm, Greg Golden, was a treasure trove of information related to everything related to growing, cultivating, and producing chocolate (cacao), Kona coffee, and sustainably produced soap. Greg was also very engaging and encouraged participants to ask questions. The group was given a tour of the cacao and coffee groves, tasted both dark and milk chocolates and Kona coffee, and was introduced to the process of soap making. My wife and I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about the chocolate and coffee making process from plant to finished process as well as appreciating the value of homemade soap.

Felt so much love at this small farm - Greg and crew have such a wonderful farm! They were so warm and knowledgeable, it was a pleasure sharing the work that they're so passionate about. I learned a lot about the coffee, chocolate, and soap making process. It was neat to see how they made each part work together, so they minimized waste (not having to water is amazing)! Oh and all the samples were so good! I hope they keep up the great work and more people visit to support their farm.

Hawaiian Coffee and Chocolate Farm: A Sustainable Paradise - Greg Colden's tour of his 5-acre cacao and coffee bean ecofarm is a delightful and inspirational experience set among the lush Big Island landscape. Greg takes you through his groves of cacao and coffee bean trees as he relates how he went from selling insurance in California to becoming an avid farmer on the . Ripe oranges, papaya, and starfruit are offered for picking right off the trees. A tasting of his coffee and award-winning chocolate follows as well as a demonstration of how his Kona Natural Soap.
