Amazing! - Our visit to Kamananui Cacao Farm was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived, Katie and Matt made us feel completely welcome. Their warmth and genuine passion for cacao created such a memorable experience. Katie and Matt are incredibly knowledgeable — they explained the entire cacao growing and chocolate-making process in a way that was both fascinating and easy to understand. You can truly feel how much they care about what they do, and their enthusiasm is contagious. We learned so much about the history of cacao in Hawaii and the craftsmanship that goes into every batch. The customer service was outstanding. They were attentive, engaging, and happy to answer every question with patience and depth. It felt personal, not rushed, and very authentic. If you’re visiting Oahu and looking for a unique, educational, and delicious experience, Kamananui Cacao Farm is an absolute must. We left with a deeper appreciation for chocolate — and big smiles on our faces. Mahalo, Katie and Matt, for such an unforgettable tour! 🍫🌿

Intriguing information on Cacao on Oahu - Excellent guide who is also the farm manager with an education which includes cacao farming. Small group of couples and families (16) allowing personal interaction and full discussion of planting to harvesting and on farm processing. Finished with tasting of about 7-8 chocolates from the farm and other HI locations. Definitely worth the afternoon spent on the cacao farming

Worth The Trip From Honolulu!! - Our guide (Katie) was very knowledgeable and kind! We had a great time and learned a lot, and not just about cacao, but all the other flora and fauna required to make cacao successful. Our group was small and everyone was nice and respectful. This was one of our favorite experiences in all of our recent travels! The experience was unique, the people are lovely, and the tastings throughout the experience were informative and tasty. Well worth the trip up from Honolulu! Some tips: The orchard had patches of mud (not the entire orchard but it is present) so be mindful of your clothes/shoes. Also, the side road to the orchard is gravel about 50% of the way up, so budget some extra minutes (5-10 extra minutes) for dodging potholes and driving slowly (to avoid kicking up rocks) if you're not accustomed to this kind of driving.

A Must-Visit Orchard Tour and Tasting - Our visit to the orchard was absolutely incredible. The lady who led the tour was extremely knowledgeable and did a wonderful job answering everyone’s questions in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. She blended all age groups seamlessly and made sure everyone felt included and cared for throughout the experience. The tasting was delicious, and the cacao tea was a must—truly a highlight of the visit. Everything felt thoughtfully planned and well executed, with great attention to detail and hospitality. It was both educational and enjoyable, making it a perfect experience for families, couples, and groups of all ages. We left feeling informed, welcomed, and grateful for such a memorable and enriching experience. Highly recommended!

Tasty and educational - This was a very intimate (only about 8 people) and comprehensive tour about growing chocolate and tasting the different chocolates grown around the Hawaiian islands. Be sure to enjoy the chocolate tea made with dried material from the pods
