- 90 min
1. Kamananui Cacao Orchards
The guide explains how cacao fruit is grown and harvested. You then taste chocolate made from Hawaii cacao and compare its flavors.
Walking accounts for 30 minutes of the 90-minute farm visit. The visit ends with chocolate samples at the orchard. Your return to the car is on the same farm grounds.
Pickup and meeting point
- Farm approach: Take Kuemanu Street from Farrington Highway. The route passes two gates before reaching the farm road.
- Gate access: The first gate has a keypad and the second uses a call button. Red and white Kamananui Cacao Orchard signs mark the way in.
- Parking: The gravel parking lot is on your right after the farm road. You drive to the orchard yourself.
- On the ground: Closed shoes suit the uneven walking route. It isn't wheelchair accessible, and mosquito spray is available at the farm.
Before you book
- Children must be at least 5 to join. Wear closed shoes for the orchard walk.
Fit
Is this tour right for you?
Families with children aged 5 and up can see the cacao crop before tasting chocolate made from it. You'll need to manage uneven farm ground. Your 90-minute visit leaves room for other plans. It's a fit if you want to learn about growing food without an alcohol tasting.
For an indoor tasting with wheelchair access, OENO wine tasting in Kailua costs from $39 per person, with tasting for ages 21 and up. The Waikiki food walk avoids the trip to Waialua and includes five tastings, from $107 per adult.
Who it's not for
- Families bringing children under 5
- Wheelchair users or guests unable to walk on uneven ground
- Visitors expecting chocolate samples to replace lunch
Good to know
Know before you go
Children can join from age 5 with an adult. The farm section involves 30 minutes of walking over uneven ground. It isn't wheelchair accessible, even though the visit doesn't call for a high fitness level.
Wear closed shoes for the uneven orchard paths. Sunscreen is recommended for your farm visit. Mosquito spray is available, so you can ask for it when you reach the orchard.
Your route into the farm starts on Kuemanu Street off Farrington Highway. There are two gates before the farm road. Keep the booking's gate instructions handy as you approach.
The orchard signs lead to a gravel parking area on the right. You'll need your own transport to the Waialua farm. The tour starts and ends there, with no hotel collection.
Your ticket is for mobile use, and the tour group has a maximum of 14 guests. Cold water is provided at the farm. You can also request an umbrella during the visit.
Canceling at least 24 hours before departure qualifies for a full refund. A cancellation inside that window doesn't. Weather can also stop the farm tour from going ahead.
