Description
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Embark on an unforgettable journey that blends adventure, history and flavor as you set off by motorcoach on your four-hour tour through the town of Hilo, then up the slopes of Maunakea to Honolii Orchards, multigenerational family farm. Upon reaching the estate, take in the views of the Honolii River Valley and the sparkling Pacific Ocean as you're introduced to the agricultural heritage of the Hamakua Coast with a "talk-story," a local tradition of relaxed conversation, before embarking on a hands-on exploration of the cacao orchards, where you'll learn of every stage of chocolate production, from cultivating the trees to the process of cacao fermentation. Return to the tasting room for an exploration of chocolate's 6,000-year history. Indulge in a tasting of up to 10 artisanal chocolate bars, each crafted from single-origin cacao grown across the Hawaiian Islands, along with an array of fruits and farm-made delights. Return to port.
