Tour Hawaii’s largest chocolate factory, then visit a cacao estate for a hands-on cocoa walk and a 9-piece chocolate tasting in Maui.
“A great interactive tour taking you through the cacao trees. The awesome tour guide tells us about the trees and how the chocolate gets from there. Then the tasting of their chocolate in the tree house topped off the tour before heading back to our starting point to stock up on chocolate and souvenirs. I definitely recommend this tour.”

“We had an amazing time on our Road to Hana Tour in November 2025!! The tour started with Eric picking us up at our West Maui hotel. We had a beautiful sunrise drive to Central Maui where we met up with Bryan and the rest of our tour group. The vans were so large and nice! We never felt crowded or cramped. All the stops were beautiful! I am not sure we can pick a favorite. We loved seeing the turtles sunbath and the surfers catch waves at Ho’okipa Beach Park. The nature on the drive was all amazing and Bryan had so much knowledge about indigenous and transplanted species…”
