About this tour
At Honoli'i Orchards, their farm tour and hawaiian craft chocolate tasting Hilo offers an intimate exploration where scientific discovery meets pure indulgence on the Big Island. This isn't your typical rushed Hawaii tour operation-here, you'll find an unhurried journey through a working cacao farm that serves as a genetic bank, housing rare cacao varieties you won't encounter elsewhere.
The beauty of this experience lies in having ample time to photograph the orchards, wander at your own pace, and settle into the serene tasting room without any pressure. You're not just sampling chocolate; you're discovering both ancient Mesoamerican flavors and the modern genetic varieties that fuel today's craft chocolate movement.
During your 3.5-hour adventure, prepare for limitless chocolate samples, brewing chocolate, cacao nectar, fermented cacao beans, and fresh cacao fruit plucked straight from the trees. Seasonal farm fruits complement the chocolate tastings, while practical touches like water, sunscreen, bug spray, and umbrellas keep you comfortable throughout. What makes this farm tour and hawaiian craft chocolate tasting Hilo particularly special is its role as a public research enterprise-they're actively contributing to five research projects, sharing valuable data that benefits farmers worldwide through publicly available research.
This comprehensive experience welcomes guests ages 9 and older for the educational and delicious 3.5-hour journey. Plan to arrive between 9:45 am and 10:15 am, as tours begin promptly at 10:15 am. Come prepared with closed-toe shoes, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, rain coat, and water bottle to stay comfortable during your farm exploration. Everything's included-all chocolate tastings, beverages, and protective gear-with only gratuities not covered.
This scientifically-driven operation offers something refreshing: a beautiful setting where you can truly grasp the journey from cacao bean to craft chocolate while supporting meaningful agricultural research.
