Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Indulge your taste buds as you experience the sumptuous side of Kona. This enchanting half-day tour showcases some of the tastiest island-grown products from the world-famous Kona coffee and the signature treat of the Puna Chocolate Compny to the Kona Brewing Company's fresh-brewed ales.

Kona lies on the slopes of Hualalai volcano. Nourished by afternoon showers and rich volcanic soil, this region produces some of the finest coffee, confections and ales in the world. You'll start your adventure at the pier when you board your air-conditioned touring van and head south along the coast. Along the way, you'll be entertained with the historical and cultural highlights of the charming Kona district.

The small group size means a more intimate experience and visits to places larger groups are not allowed. Just 30 minutes south of Kona Town, you'll stop at Greenwell Farms to experience coffee from tree to cup. The Greenwell family has been growing coffee in Hawaii for over a century and has helped make 100% Kona coffee one of the most sought after coffees in the world. You'll take 20 to 30 minutes to tour the site, learning how coffee is grown, harvested and processed on site. You'll also sample nearly a dozen varieties of coffee and have free time to shop for souvenirs at the Greenwell Farm's store.

Working your way back north, the next stop is the Puna Chocolate Company. Nestled in the heart of Kona, this family owned and operated factory specializes in creating "tree-to-bar" chocolate grown in Hawaii. Learn how they pursued their passion and hone their skills to produce delicious chocolate bars from local farms with unique tropical infused flavors. Catch a glimpse to see how their tasty confections are made and then sample, browse and shop at their retail store.

Your final stop is the Kona Brewing Company, home of "liquid aloha," the island's favorite fresh brewed ales. For nearly 20 years, KBC has produced "liquid aloha" here at the Kona headquarters. You'll taste a selection of their signature ales, noting hints of local products like passion fruit, Kona coffee and toasted coconut.

Our flavor journey complete, we return to Kailua pier wiser (and fuller) than when we left. Guests choosing the morning departure have an opportunity to remain at Kona Brewing Company for a no host lunch and will need to make their own way back to the ship -- just a short 1/3 mile walk. With several opportunities to shop and a complimentary Kona Brewing Company souvenir, you'll have many mementos to remind you of your trip.
