    Not a good value

    There were no coffee trees or berries to show us. We were taken out to the field where the guide dug a hole and we each had a tree to plant. Then went back to the cabin where she explained the process of harvesting the beans. We did get to see her roast a batch of beans and see the various stages of the roasting process. This was a new experience for us. We were able to sample the coffee but if you don't drink it black there were no options other than honey. There were 4 of us in the party and we got to take a small bag home. It seems that this tour was created to help them pay for tree planting because there were no coffee trees anywhere that we could see. It was not a good value.

    Waste money and time

    Waste of Money This was the worst tour ever. The road in reminded me of driving through a dry creek bed. The office was merely a shack. There were no grown coffee trees and where we planted,the grass was as tall as the sapling (watch where you step, it could be a tree) The presentation was cheesy at best. The beans they used were from a separate farm. At the end, our group shared just one small roasting to take home. I was under the impression that we would each receive our own bag of coffee The whole ordeal was disappointing. Highly not recommended.

    Don’t waste your money

    We were quite disappointed! On our way up to a small shack, we drove up a road that was very poorly maintained. We passed a dead boar lying on the side of the drive. We were expecting a coffee plantation, instead we were lead to a small field with a few very small trees. It seemed very unprofessional. We did plant our own trees. Our guide was polite but the whole experience was a big let down! I would not recommend this to anyone!

    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!

    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 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 47 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 16 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 Big Island: Captain Cook Snorkel On A Power Catamaran With Lunch, KONA Manta Ray Night Snorkel - FREE re-ride if no Sightings, 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.

Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
