Tree-to-Chocolate Tour

The Tree-to-Chocolate Tour takes place at Lavaloha's cacao farm on the Big Island, starting and ending at the farm's Visitor Center on Amauulu Road in Hilo. A guide walks guests through a working cacao orchard, explaining how the fruit grows and what conditions shape its flavor. The tasting features a rotating selection that may include estate and partner-crafted chocolates and dried and roasted cacao nibs. The tour wraps up at the Visitor Center, where artisanal chocolates and local products are available to browse and purchase.

This tour suits families and anyone curious about how cacao becomes chocolate. All guests must sign a liability waiver before joining; those who decline cannot participate and will not receive a refund. No hotel pickup is available, so plan to drive to the meeting location.
