Visitors consistently rave about the passionate guides here, with Brandy, Gunars (the CEO himself), Stephanie, and others earning enthusiastic praise for their knowledge and engaging presentation style. The tour takes you through the entire cacao-to-chocolate journey, from orchard walks where you'll see and taste cacao fruit firsthand to detailed explanations of fermentation and production. Many guests highlight the beautiful treehouse lunch setting overlooking the West Maui Mountains and the extensive chocolate tasting at the end, featuring up to 19 different varieties. What makes this stand out is the quality of the chocolate and the company's mission. Gunars brings an impressive professional background to his chocolate-making, and guests who research him beforehand seem especially impressed. The chocolate has won best-in-show awards, and the taste speaks for itself. Beyond the delicious product, all net profits go to charity, which resonates deeply with visitors looking to support meaningful local businesses. One reviewer noted some climbing involved, but otherwise this is an overwhelmingly beloved experience that feels both educational and genuinely special.
The tour takes you to a cocoa plantation and teaches you all about chocolate production, from bean to bar. After the lesson, you’re taken to a treehouse where you get to taste 9 different chocolates, easily the most delightful chocolate I’ve ever had. If you’re a chocolate lover like me, this is a must-do. It all ends at their local shop, where you can pick your favorites to take home
