The Original Hawaiian Chocolate Factory

Super informative tour! We got to sample three kinds of chocolate and follow the steps of turning cacao seeds into chocolate step by step. The owner gives the tours and explains how he and his family came from North Carolina and went theough all the steps of turning the cacao farm into the first chocolate factory in Hawaii. Fernando is his assistant and explains the machines in the processing facility. Our group of four learned so much and as a group that has farms of our own, appreciated the entrepreneurial spirit required to make this business work!

We experienced a tour of the Original Hawaiian Chocolate Factory in May and we can't say enough positive things about the experience. Firstly, what a beautiful and peaceful location! Owner and tour guide Bob was absolutely fantastic!! Incredibly knowledgeable and gracious. We got to try the different types of chocolate they make, all really delicious, but our favourite was Criollo. Assistant Fernando was also great and treated us to freshly cracked macadamia nuts as we arrived! One of the best tours we've ever taken in Hawaii. Highly recommended!!

The best chocolate on the island! Family atmosphere, top quality, and an authentic Hawaiian product. Definitely try their Criollo bar, it's an amazing experience. Well worth a visit!

A beautiful setting for an intimate tour given by the owner. Very well orchestrated from parking to the gift shop experience after the tour. We learned so much and have enjoyed our chocolates!

We stopped here on a whim and wow am I glad we did! They were so kind and lovely here! The criollo chocolate has a flavor unlike any other. I have found my chocolate spirit partner! Go visit, grab a sample and buy some chocolate! If you want to see the chocolate making demo, it's only on certain days - so make sure to check on the days of the week if that is your intention!

Had such a great experience! We learned so much about the process of cacao to chocolate and got to try a cacao bean, nibs, some fudge to dip them in, and even the rarest chocolate in the world, Criollo!! We had to buy some to bring home for family to try. The lady in the store was super sweet and friendly and the man who gave our tour had a good sense of humor and answered all our questions.
