This family-run organic cacao farm on Kauai's north shore delivers an outstanding bean-to-bar experience that reviewers consistently call their best farm tour in Hawaii. The guides, particularly Angela and Elijah, bring impressive credentials to their presentations—Angela's anthropology background adds fascinating cultural context, while Elijah's biology and biochemistry expertise helps explain the science behind chocolate making. The tour walks you through the actual farm where they grow and process everything on-site, with generous tastings of tropical fruits, multiple chocolate samples including aged varieties, and a memorable cacao drink. What makes this tour special is the depth of knowledge shared and the authentic, small-scale operation. You'll see the entire process from tree to finished chocolate, learn about companion planting, and discover the health benefits of high-flavonoid chocolate. The roughly 20-minute walk is mostly shaded with plenty of sitting time, though bug spray is recommended. One heads-up: finding the property can be tricky since Google Maps may mislead you, so follow the pin in your confirmation email carefully. The tour runs about three hours and leaves visitors genuinely enthusiastic about cacao.
I had so much fun on this tour. Elijah was great, he answered all of our questions, he was incredibly knowledgeable, and you could just tell he had so much passion for cacao and the future of cacao on Kauai. I’d highly recommend this tour to others. I loved that it was an organic chocolate farm, and that they really care about retaining the largest quantity of flavonoids (hoping I’m saying that right) in the chocolate as possible. I originally found garden island on YouTube and it just so happened we were coming to Kauai for our honeymoon. I highly recommend watching their videos if you want to learn more about cacao and many fruits and companion plants they have on the farm!
