Hilo Waterfalls & Chocolate Farm Tour

Explore a Hawaiian chocolate farm and spectacular waterfalls on an intimate tour in the scenic hills above Hilo. You’ll learn all about the chocolate making process, from picking a fresh cacao pod from the orchards to walking through a chocolate factory to of course yummy tastings! You’ll also experience amazing views of tropical waterfalls, including famous Rainbow Falls. After a pleasant jungle walk down to another impressive waterfall (Kulaniapia) on private property, you can swim, kayak, and paddleboard, or just relax by the shore. The tour concludes with lunch at a picturesque spot with more waterfall viewing.

• No availability? Please email us (contact@travelshack.com) with requested date(s) and # of people so we can possibly add another van.
• Arriving in Hilo on a cruise ship (such as the Pride of America on Tuesdays)? This tour picks up and drops off at the Hilo cruise ship port (9:30 am - 2:30 pm).

• Mostly on private property with few if any tourists around (exception: Rainbow Falls)
• Minimal time stuck in a van, as everything is near each other and very close to downtown Hilo, so you spend the day immersed in nature, not simply being driven around for quick photo ops
• The most reputable and longest running small group tour operator on the Big Island (over 25 years)
• Intimate group of only 4-12 people
