Our adventure in this magical place started even before we arrived. Berndt and Dan were running a chocolate tour the day we arrived and they invited us to join.
They were very clear on instruction on how to get to the farm and were very communicative prior to our arrival.
Located just a few minutes from Hilo, the farm is an amazing property. A secluded paradise full of exotic plants, a river, a treehouse, and a modern house with outstanding views and breathtaking sunsets.
As soon as we arrived we joined the tour, which was very insightful on how cacao trees are grown and chocolate is made, and they walked us through this beautiful property to show us so many exotic plants species we had never seen. At the end of the tour, we had a tasting of their phenomenal chocolate resulting our “happy hormones” to dominate our system even more.
The room was great! Thoughtfully decorated with an incredible view to the garden and ocean.
Berndt and Dan were always available and always helpful to give us local tips and direction. They are also very pleasant to engage and exchange interesting thoughts/perspectives.
Wonderful hosts, fantastic place, and we can’t wait to come back!
