Spend about three hours at Lydgate Farms with guides such as Sheri, Mason, Jess, and Jenna. Walk through cacao and botanical gardens, taste rare cacao fruit, tropical produce, honey, vanilla, macadamia nuts, and dark chocolate, and learn how Hawaiian cacao becomes chocolate.

“It is three hours long and that is 3 hours of facts and lectures about chocolate. Which is great but sometimes the facts were incorrect and I found the comment of poor farmers using rudimentary tools to be offensive. There’s no need to discuss economic status of people who work the fields. Moreover last I checked Aztecs are from mesoamerica, modern day Mexico extending down to Guatemala. So the origins of chocolate should be fact checked. Otherwise the tour was accessible. Limited walking and lots of sitting down. Lots of chocolate to eat. And some fruits. Chatty tour guide. Unique products Ultimately this tour was not for us. But it…”

She did come across as rude and felt like we were a bother to her. The overall experience was very disappointing and would not do again.”
