Stop At: Lavaloha, 1820 Amauulu Rd, Island of Hawaii, HI 96720

Did you know chocolate comes from a tree!?! We are growers and makers of single-origin, 100% Hawaiian chocolate. Our 1,000-acre farm is set high on the slopes of Mauna Kea, just above Hilo town, where the rich volcanic soil adds depth and flavor to our cocoa beans.

We invite you to take the scenic drive up to our Visitor Center where you’ll be welcomed with sweeping views from mauka (mountain) to makai (ocean). Embark on a Tree-to-Chocolate Tour with our knowledgeable guides where you’ll explore our cacao orchards, walk through our chocolate processing facilities, and learn about the tree-to-chocolate journey.

Complete your tour at the Visitor Center with our white chocolate with nibs sample. You’ll have the opportunity to experience the nuances of flavor between chocolates with different cacao percentages and indulge in exciting flavors like Milk Chocolate with Mediterranean Sea Salt, Dark Chocolate with Orange, and 70% Dark Chocolate to name a few.

    BEST TOUR EVER! Lei was an amazing and hilarious tour guide. I've done chocolate tasting tours on the islands before and this was so fun, and they were very generous with their chocolate tasting! They have a great gift shop as well, lots of chocolate flavors and options. The coffee, mocha latte, and latte bars were delicious, and the orange chocolate was my favorite. It would be cool if they had larger giftable samples of all their chocolate, including iconic hawaiian flavors like mango, etc, and maybe collections ie coffee collection, pure chocolate collection, tropical collection, in gift sets. But overall one of the top highlights of our trip to Hilo!

    This tour was so amazing, with the best chocolate we’ve ever had in our life to boot! Out tour guide, Lei, was so sweet and knowledgeable. 100% should be a stop during your trip to the Big Island!
