Oahu Farm Tour Details
This Oahu farm tour is focused primarily on chocolate, which is a great selling point! But that’s not all you’ll learn about or taste.
As you tour the farm, you can try some of the in-season crops. These include lychee, ulu, starfruit, coconut, papaya, and more.
You’ll learn about the process of growing cacao and making chocolate, from “tree to bar,” as they say! You’ll also experience Polynesian canoe crops, the farm, and the area’s history while learning about them with all of your senses.
Why We Like This Oahu Farm Tour:
Family-Owned, Family-Friendly
This is a family-owned and operated farm, and they keep your little ones in mind during the tour. It isn’t a hard sell with a chocolate and honey tasting at the end, but extras sprinkled in (baby goats, bunnies!) sweeten the deal for kids and adults.
Beautiful Setting
The property is gorgeous and set with views of the mountains on lush, windward Oahu.
Knowledgable Guides
Michael and Maria run the farm and the tours. They know their stuff after growing cacao and harvesting honey for many years. They provide an engaging and fun walking tour of the farm, pointing out all the Polynesian canoe crops growing on the farm.
Excellent Tasting
After a light stroll through the orchard (primarily on a dirt road), you’ll head to a pavilion for the tasting. It’s all delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed trying the different types of chocolate.
This is a uniquely Hawaiian experience. For more things you can only do in Hawaii, check out our article.

About 21 Degrees Estate
Aptly named for the latitudinal location of Oahu, 21 Degrees Estate was purchased in 2014 by Michael and Maria when they retired from the Navy and Air Force. It was an established farm, but they decided to add nearly 800 cacao trees to the mix, and they thrived. They employ sustainable and renewable practices and diversify their crops to keep the land healthy.
