Big Island of Hawaii Shopping & Fashion

My wife and I booked a tour for the Craft Chocolate Tasting and Farm Tour and we were was not disappointed. The Chocolate Tasting and Farm tour were both very informative and detailed. For the Farm Tour, Jude our Guide, explained from the beginning of how he became friend's with the owner's son Colin, how the cacao farm came into existence, the planting of the cacao trees, all the way through the total processing of making the cacao from the pods. The cacao shop offered the tasting of numerous chocolates from the Island of Hawaii and Oahu, numerous types of specialty chocolate bars and even chocolate nibs for an alternative to coffee and tea. Well worth the money ...

Great job by Greg & Paul and team, very informative and the products were amazing, we learned alot on the tour.

We learned so much about the history of the farm and about cocoa farming itself. The staff was friendly, patient and welcomed questions. We loved the farm tour and the delicious and educational chocolate tasting! We were there over 4 hours but the time flew by! Would def recommend!

Kona Natural Soap is truly more than great soap! Greg, the co-owner/tour guide, provided us with a behind the scenes look at a coffee farm and working soap “factory”. He takes a lot of pride in his property and likes to share his knowledge with visitors. He seems to customize the tours based on his audience. He complimented us by telling us that we had “Midwest Sensibilities”. He was both engaging and funny. If you can’t decide which tour to take while visiting Kona, and there’s a lot, this is the one.

This tour was AMAZING!! It’s not just about coffee. It’s a wealth of information about agriculture and chocolate; as well as little tidbits about skincare. Our guide Greg was very personable and knowledgeable about each subject. He presented it in a witty and humorous way which made it enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour to visitors of Kona. We traveled from Detroit to Kona and found this gem on the island.

Greg was the best. His farm and tour were exceptional. Learned a lot about the farm, coffee, chocolate, and soap. The grounds were absolutely beautiful.

Fantastic experience! I went with my grandson for his first excursion of third grade. He’s home schooled, and we are locals. So we are fussy about tour experiences. This was a very welcoming atmosphere. Our hosts were friendly and knowledgeable. The tastings were very flavorful. Our group had several families with a variety of ages, and everyone was accommodated for levels of curiosity.

We were looking for something to do on our last day on the island and this was the perfect choice. Jude and April were incredibly nice and also knowledgeable. It was evident that the people working at the farm really care about the process and the products. The tasting was very extensive and fun. The way they run it is interactive and overall just a really good time. We arrived a bit early and went overtime on the tasting a bit, so the total time we spent at the farm was close to 4 hours.

This was the most interesting and informative tour we have taken. The orchard discussions helped set the stage for the great product and sampling. We will continue to keep in touch with this fascinating business into the future.

This was a wonderful, wonderful Tour and I will never forget the experience and the taste of the best chocolate and coffee ever. They were so full of information and so kind. I wish they had an Airbnb so I could stay for a week.

Driving up the driveway to this small farm we got the impression of a jungle in the making. We were met at the parking area by our host, Greg, and dozen chickens. From the second we got out of our car I knew we were in for a treat. Greg greeted us by name, granted we were a small group that day, but still amazing. We received a coffee growing tutorial, and a cocoa growing lesson on the edges of his orchard. Greg shared how he took this land 20+ years ago from a barren hunk of ground, to now a working coffee and cocoa producer. We got to taste true Kona coffee, different grades of chocolate, and even experienced the uses of different essential oils which they sell. It was here we were introduced to 4 other staff members, they in themselves, brought an energy to tour. A bonus I did not expect, they also produce their own soaps, with a wide variety scents. I guess what I’m trying to convey, this was a wonderful three hour experience. You must interact with the hosts if you want to get the most out of this tour and shame on you if you don’t. Greg and company were a joy to be with. Oh ya, watch out for they’re gift shop, it’s hard NOT to buy something, lots of unique items. Thanks for the memory. A++++

We had a great time on our tour. The owner of the farm was entertaining, kind, welcoming. His love for the product he grows and makes is palpable. Chocolate tasting was great and seeing how soap is made and infused with essential oils was also very interesting.

Fantastic tour…a must do! Lots of information and the hosts were terrific, friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. We felt like family. Thank you Greg, Paul and Marty, we really enjoyed this tour!

This experience has changed my life. The coffee and chocolate explanation was fantastic, the coffee and chocolate tasting was even better; I honestly don't think I've ever eaten chocolate or drank real coffee previous to this The standout however for me was the soap and oil information. The kukui nut oil is something I'd never heard of and since leaving it's all I've used. Their soap and their oils are life changing.

Our tour Guide Greg, was absolutely amazing and polite. I would 100 percent recommend this place to anyone looking for a coffee, chocolate, and soap tour. Their coffee was bar none!!

Great, immersive experience led by people who really know and love what they do. Funny, educational and well worth the time. The owners and employees (even the chickens) feel like one big family happily immersed in all parts of the business.
