Calling all chocolate lovers! Kahi Ola Mau Farm is the home of Honoka'a Chocolate Co. Reserve a spot for a tour of our farm and a tasting of select chocolates from around the world (including Hawai'i) that we make on-site (no store bought chocolate here!), allowing you to experience how a particular region's climate, soil and terrain affect the flavors of the chocolate, "the terroir" as winemakers so famously say. The state of Hawai'i is the only place in the U.S. where cacao is commercially grown. We'll share the history and chocolate-making process from the tree to bean to bar. Besides the 500+ cacao trees you'll see on our 5-acre farm, we also grow nearly forty varieties of tropical fruit, including white pineapple plants, as well as native Hawaiian sugar cane, vanilla orchids, and more! We'll taste whatever is in season. If you're looking for a unique foodie experience, this is a must! Please note, the combined 2-hour tour and tasting are by reservation only.

Mike is a great tour guide - it was an intellectual tour of the history of the farm and he has passion for all things chocolate! This tour is probably best for young adults and adults but was very enjoyable!

We drove down the 25 - 45 degree grade slope down the mountain to get to the valley's beach! Exciting drive, but you can also walk down the path as well. Youtube has videos if you want to get an idea of what the drive is like beforehand. There is a 800 foot waterfall that is a nice drive by for photos and very friendly wild horses who will walk right up to your car looking for a treat! Walked the beach and even crossed the river that flows out to the ocean. A nice 2 hour visit to enjoy the beach and scenery!
