About this experience
Explore a working coffee farm, roast and bag your own Hawaiian coffee, and take it home straight from the source. Come spend a couple hours at Ohana Ranch learning how Hawaiian coffee is grown and roasted. You’ll take a short walk through the farm with a local guide, talk story about volcanic soil, growing conditions, and what makes Big Island coffee different. Guests get their hands dirty planting a coffee tree and learning how coffee goes from plant to bean. At the roasting station, you’ll help roast and bag coffee, learn what to look for during the roasting process, and take home the bag of coffee you roasted as part of the experience. We’ll wrap things up with a fresh cup of Hawaiian coffee right on the farm. It’s a small-group, laid-back experience — part farm tour, part coffee lesson, and a good excuse to slow down and enjoy the land.

Yummy coffee with a view
Rachel was a great guide. We enjoyed learning about and sampling the coffee. Our 15 year old was not bored!

Hawaiian Coffee History
Jacqueline, our guide, was knowledgeable and pleasant, and since it was just me and my husband we had her full attention. We didn’t do a lot—planted a coffee tree and watched coffee beans roast then bagged while Jacqueline explained the history of coffee in Hawaii and the process of coffee preparation. We did get to take that bag of coffee home and drink some fresh brewed coffee. It was smooth and easy to drink.

Maybe in a few years
I was a little disappointed overall, the guides were fun and personable, or it would’ve been a total bust. It was raining, which is fine, no one’s fault, but there’s no actual grown coffee plants yet to look at, we were only outside for around 10 minutes, the coffee was subpar, and it was just a tiny roasting process and not super informative either. I’m sure in a few years when the plants are mature, the building is finished, and it’s their own coffee, it will be great, and the people running it are awesome, just wasn’t quite there yet as a tour.

Fun and authentic experience, but come with a 4x4
The Ohana Coffee Tour was a Mother’s Day gift for my wife, and arranging everything was easy — even joining one day later was no problem at all. It’s a fun experience and the people are friendly, but it still feels a bit like a startup. Everything is quite basic: the registration process, the building itself, and especially the toilets. We enjoyed planting a coffee tree, tasting coffee and the bean roasting demonstration was really nice. One important note: reaching the ranch with a normal car is difficult without risking damage. A 4x4 is highly recommended, and they should mention that more clearly in advance.

An interesting experience
So let me say first I love agriculture tours and always try to find chances to learn about local plants. We had a very rainy day and our guide was super nice and accommodating. A few things to keep in mind if you book (these weren’t quite clear in the description so passing this on for other interested travelers): 1) The road to the ranch is VERY rough- if you don’t have an SUV it’s going to be tough on your car. 2) The ranch is very young- about 3-4 years old. If you want to see a mature coffee farm this isn’t it. The trees are very small but you will learn a lot of sustainable coffee farming and roasting.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Big Island Epic Coffee Tour at Ohana Ranch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Big Island of Hawaii.
How much does Big Island Epic Coffee Tour at Ohana Ranch cost?
+
Prices start at $49 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Big Island of Hawaii usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Big Island Epic Coffee Tour at Ohana Ranch take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Big Island of Hawaii is not rushed.
Is Big Island Epic Coffee Tour at Ohana Ranch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 43 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Big Island of Hawaii, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Big Island Epic Coffee Tour at Ohana Ranch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Big Island Epic Coffee Tour at Ohana Ranch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Big Island Epic Coffee Tour at Ohana Ranch?
+
Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Big Island of Hawaii can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Big Island of Hawaii and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Big Island Epic Coffee Tour at Ohana Ranch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Big Island of Hawaii within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Big Island of Hawaii?
+
The Big Island is volcano country: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park tours, Mauna Kea summit stargazing, night manta ray snorkels off Kona, Waipio Valley lookouts and coffee farm visits. Summit tours have real altitude rules, so we weight safety detail. On Outty we rank every Big Island of Hawaii experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include KONA Manta Ray Night Snorkel - FREE re-ride if no Sightings, Big Island: Captain Cook Snorkel On A Power Catamaran With Lunch, Big Island in a Day: Volcanoes Waterfalls Sightseeing and History. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Big Island of Hawaii?
+
April to October, though the island runs year round. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Big Island of Hawaii?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
