Hale Cocoa Cafe & Kona Chocolate Farm Tour

The tour walks you through roughly 1,000 cocoa trees on the 8-acre working farm in Kealakekua, then moves into bean-to-bar tasting of chocolate made from cacao grown on-site. You'll also see how the farm, factory, and café operate together.

Farm tours at Hale Cocoa Cafe typically require advance booking since group sizes are limited on a working farm. Check their website or call ahead to confirm availability before driving out to Mamalahoa Hwy.

The café is open daily from 7am to 7pm. Farm tour times are scheduled separately, so confirm tour slots when booking.

Yes — chocolate is crafted on-site from cacao sourced across Big Island regions, including the trees growing on the estate itself. That makes it one of the few places where you can taste single-origin Hawaiian chocolate right where it's grown.

Yes, the café serves 100% Kona coffee alongside espresso drinks, and offers coffee tastings in addition to the chocolate tastings. There's also a cocktail bar on-site.

The farm tour is generally suitable for families since it's a walking tour through cacao trees and Hawaiian plants on a working farm. Younger kids should be comfortable with outdoor walking and farm terrain.
