Visit a Hawaiian Cacao (or Cocoa) Orchard just 10 minutes south of Kona.
This is a pristine, mature orchard with nearly 2,000 cocoa trees under a refreshingly cool natural tree canopy that grows delicious cocoa bean organically.
We will stroll the tropical cocoa orchard and view how cocoa is grown and where your favorite food, chocolate, comes from!
You will handle fresh cocoa pods, open and taste fresh fruit and pulp you can't taste at home. You will then explore how beans are converted to chocolate and then retreat into the air conditioned guest shop to taste a variety of chocolate - dark, milk, and white as well as from different regions of Hawaii and the world. Chocolate will never be the same - it will be tastier!
Appropriate for all ages. The orchard terrain is uneven for short portions and sometimes encounter mixed rocks and gravel.
