Maui Chocolate Farm Tour | Things to Do on Maui

Published 2020-10-09
We had a Maui chocolate week! We experienced a chocolate farm tour, then helped with the cacao harvest, and capped it off with a curated Maui chocolate tasting tour. You gotta try this when you visit Maui!

Our buddy Dave McPherson, Cacao Farm Director, invited us to Maui Ku’ia Estate Chocolate for an exclusive tour. Exclusive because the cacao farm tours haven’t started yet. So we were happy to be the guinea pigs on this new Maui farm-to-table tour!

Come along to get a full Maui chocolate experience at the only cacao farm on Maui.

Once we had our chocolate farm tour, Jordan was invited to help at the cacao harvest. If that wasn’t enough chocolate for the week, Erica and Jordan then did a 15-piece curated chocolate tasting at Maui Ku’ia Estate’s chocolate cafe, retail store, and chocolate tasting pavilion.

  • Mahalo for watching! Say hi to Dan and Gunars for us when you go on your cacao farm tour or chocolate tasting tour! Click SUBSCRIBE for a video every Friday on vacationing in Hawaii. Our family videos are no substitute for your Hawaii vacation but at least it is something during 2020. Check out our Hawaii travel website for more tips on traveling to Hawaii: thehawaiivacationguide.com/
  • I had been to the Maui Chocolate Farm and love it there. I learned a lot. Dan's knowledge of cacao is very impressive. Gunars eloquent presentation leading the tasting is very impressive too. I learned so much from both of them and I enjoyed tasting and eating the chocolates. And 100% net profit of the company goes to charity! I am glad you went too.

    The way your son said “cacao pod”, my heart! 🥺😭 Had cacao fruit several times (love that fruity taste of the flesh around the “seeds”!!), but have never visited a cacao farm. As a chocolate lover, this place honestly looks like a dream 😍
  • @GrabberBlue5.2
    fantastic. the drone footage always ads a high end feel to your vids. and that chocolate farm wow. been to maui so many times and never heard of this place. thx for the vid!
  • @juliepoolie5494
    I love tours like this! When we get an opportunity to visit Maui again, I will take this tour!
  • Love your videos. You two are beautiful and your son. We can’t wait to get back to Maui. We will diffidently visit the chocolate factory.
  • Thanks you two for posting the best Maui videos on YouTube! We'll definitely be adding the chocolate tasting on our next visit! Keep up the great work and stay safe!!
  • @danhkom9703
    Thank you guys for posting. Would love to tour the facility next year 2021. Btw love all of your videos.
  • @ashleynaputi293
    We just got back from Maui and we did this tour thanks to your video!! It was awesome
  • We love this video, we learned so much about chocolate. We will check this place out when we are in Maui this year. How about a video tour of the Ocean Vodka farm? It's our favorite vodka, it's so smooth.
  • @Moco925
    You guys said you were from the bay area. Where abouts that's where I live me and my wife will be in maui in June for our anniversary 🤞🏽🤙🏽
  • @isaactapia7436
    So are the tours up and running? We’re headed in Dec19-Jan2....i hope so, the fam would love this!
  • @ThanieKautz
    I love videos like this because when I go to Maui I always want to do things not commonly advertised in the tour brochures. Thank you for this! More please! hehe 🙏💕 Also, not sure if you've touched on this subject yet (since I just discovered your channel) but what drone do you use? And any tips on using it in Maui? I heard some residents/ shop owners in Lahaina frown upon it. A video on this would be cool!
  • @StephanieLeach
    I would LOVE to tour a local chocolate farm and factory. Do they have dairy-free chocolate?
  • @kruzfam8922
    If you had to choose one. Pineapple farm tour or Cacao/chocolate farm tour?
  • @pratherlara5321
    Did I miss something??? You didn't show how the pods are made into chocolate!
