I loved seeing this farm in action! Courtney gave a fun tour, balanced with humor and information; her style fit our group from 5 years on up. Jess was super cool to speak with, too, giving me tips about the island. Come support Lavaloha!

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour, the farm was beautiful and the duck elusive! Loved to hear the information around the information on how they are preserving the land and environment. We also got the opportunity to try a raw cocoa bean and it was delicious, but slimy! Don't let that deter you from trying it! Our favorite chocolate was the orange chocolate and we took home a few bars. Get yourself a spot on a tour! Tip your guide.

Took the family on a tour of the chocolate farm. I accidentally booked for a later week, but the team was kind enough to allow us to book a later tour the day we arrived that had some space. It feels like a ways away from town, but it's really only 15 minutes away. The kids and adults enjoyed trying cacao fruit right from pod. Our kids (elementary school aged) enjoyed sampling the chocolate and couldn't believe an hour flew by. They came back teaching relatives about what they learned about the chocolate making process.

Short tour, they show you the farm, how they grow cacaos, how they dry the beans and do a small tasting. I was hoping we’d see the actual chocolate making too, even through windows. Our guide was fun but a bit brash. We loved their dark and white chocolates. This is a good tour if you’re curious about the farming aspect and love chocolate. If not, I’d probably skip. But I’d still recommend trying and buying their chocolate locally!
