What Makes It Different

  • Puna Chocolate Company operates a working cacao farm with 1000 cocoa trees in Kona, and they make chocolate from Big Island cocoa beans, offering tastings of chocolates from varying Big Island regions.
  • This listing has explicit farm-to-bar or bean-to-bar signals rather than only generic chocolate retail signals.
  • It is tagged for Hawaii-grown cacao, which makes it especially relevant for local-origin chocolate searches.
  • Tours are part of the visitor experience, so it can work as an activity stop instead of only a retail stop.

Tours Available

Guided farm tours (1-2 hours) of cacao and coffee orchards with chocolate tasting and hands-on experiences opening cacao pods.
