Fantastic cocao farm tour. - Fantastic educational tour for those who love chocolate and may be interested in the industry. Also if you just are interested in where your chocolate bar comes from. The owner Dan was so nice and spent a lot of time talking with us and giving us precious information. His dog Zoe was a joy! Our tour guide Katie, was wonderful. She knew everything about the farm and was a delight. There was a ton of chocolate to sample and you have a great opportunity to buy some Manoa chocolate. I would highly recommend this tour.

Unforgettable, Interesting and Informative tour with a sweet treat to Cap off the experience - Wow! This was my favorite tour I took while visiting the Island of Oahu. Max was our guide and he was incredible. His knowledge is amazing and we learned so much information about not only cacoa but also vanilla, pepper, and bananas. I feel like I could write an essay on our experience. Walking through the orchard and seeing the cacao trees was so interesting. After you learn all about the farm, you are then treated to an incredible chocolate tasting. While I wasnt expecting a ton of information, in all honesty this far exceeded my expectations. I would recommend this tour to anyone, especially if you enjoy learning. Max made this an unforgettable experience.

Great chocolate experience - We had some confusion about timing, but all of this was worked out very professionally. After that, everything went great. The tour guide was so sweet and friendly. The tour was so informative and enjoyable. The chocolate tasting at the end was the icing on the cake! We would highly recommend this tour. Allow yourself extra time from what Maps says because is rather far from the main road.

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.
