Hilo – Hawaiian Crown Plantation and Chocolate Factory

So glad that we were able to have a tour of the chocolate farm and the factory! The chocolate was delicious and the tour guide was very helpful and friendly. We even got to meet the owner of the company and farm! It was so great getting to learn from him. He definitely knows what he is doing! We purchased a good bit of their chocolate as well! Definitely will purchase again in the future!

Disappointed. It’s a mainly a banana farm next to a cemetery with lots of spiders and unkept land. We ended up with tons of mosquito bites. The directions were wrong on their confirmation email. Worst tour we have been on this Island. The tour guide lacked knowledge of chocolate making. The “sample” was two small pieces of chocolate. They lack sanitation when preparing chocolate. Lastly the packaging is completely unprofessional with chocolate stains inside the clear plastic that’s ready to purchase. There are too many other fantastic chocolate tours to go on and spend your money on, other than this one.

Epic tour of how cocoa beans are grown, harvested, and highly local and small batch operation in town turning into chocolate. Learned a lot, ate a lot more!

Great coffee! Great service!

Probably the best açaí I’ve had on the island. Their coffee is also very decent and fairly priced.
