Cacao Farm Tour & Treehouse Lunch

🍫 Ku'ia Estate – Cacao Farm Tour & Treehouse Lunch

Come explore Ku'ia Estate cacao farm, the largest chocolate factory in the state of Hawaii! Your day begins at the Ku'ia Estate Chocolate Factory in Lahaina, where you'll meet your guide and get an introduction to how their award-winning chocolate is crafted.

Next, hop in for a scenic 10-minute ride up to the private cacao estate in the foothills of the West Maui Mountains. Spread across more than 20 acres of cacao trees, the farm visit takes you behind the scenes of how cacao grows in Hawaii - from tree care and harvesting techniques to the early steps that turn fresh pods into chocolate. Stroll through the orchard, learn how cacao is picked and processed, and finish with a curated 9-piece tasting of Ku'ia's signature chocolates.

To top it off, relax with a catered lunch from Kapena's Kitchen in an open-air treehouse tucked into the canopy. With peaceful estate views and a cool upcountry breeze, it's a delicious, one-of-a-kind way to experience Maui.
