We offer one of the most fully detailed and comprehensive tours of coffee and chocolate production in Hawaii. You'll learn how coffee is produced from the moment it blossoms to the final roasted bean. We'll also go over how chocolate is grown from the beginning to the final award-winning chocolate bar. Tasting is available too! And finally, we will walk you through the soap factory and discuss how we created a unique product that uses its own farm-grown ingredients and pure plant botanicals to make a soap that is nonallergenic. No fragrance is used, so those that are allergic to fragrances you'll be just fine. So come enjoy an awesome 5 star-rated tour, you'll have a blast and it all starts at 9am.

This was an excellent experience! Food was great! Lobster and really tender steak. Drinks are good, dessert was really yummy. And the show was excellent. You could watch it close because they had 3 different performances simultaneously so all guests could watch. Stage at the center, stage on both ends of the boat. Service was excellent and seating arrangements was also perfect very mindful of the social distancing.

Joined this walking tour a few weeks ago and I’m so glad it didn’t get cancelled because of the rain (which cleared up before we started the tour) Vic and Elless gave a wonderful insight into the past and also the current. We were able to ask as many questions as we liked and we stopped for multiple photos too. After the tour wrapped up we were given so many more wonderful recommendations which included visiting the streets a few blocks away to check out the street art!
