Crema's Take
“Lavaloha's tree-to-chocolate farm tour is the rare experience that actually delivers on its promise—you'll ride through working cacao groves, see fermentation and roasting firsthand, and taste chocolate that suddenly makes its price tag make sense. The guides here genuinely know their stuff and keep groups engaged without feeling rushed, and the Big Island views alone are worth the trip. It's pricey but consistently praised as one of the best agricultural tours across all the Hawaiian islands.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, outdoor seating. Family friendly.

I love chocolate and searched all 4 islands for a tour that offered more than a walk through the plants and a taste of chocolate. This one was perfect. We got to see the whole process from the plants to the kitchen (although that part was on video.) We loved the tour and the…

My husband, daughter and myself went on the farm to chocolate tour and had the best time. Lacy was our guide and she did a fantastic job at answering questions and keeping everyone engaged. The chocolate process is quite interesting and Lavaloha did a great job explaining every…
Lacy took us on the Tree-to-Chocolate tour on Saturday, and it was entertaining and educational. We rode through the orchard on a golf-cart type shuttle that seats 9, so the tour group was a good size and Lacy interacted with each person. She explained how the farm got started…
