    An immersion in everything coffee from passionate people purely focused on your personal experience. Buddha says Hi!

    Imagine Kona Coffee Medium Roast and the Manny’s Brew were personal favorites. The staff was super helpful and friendly. The macadamia nuts, bread, chocolate covered nuts were all amazing !!!! We participated in the coffee roast which was super exhilarating !! The best coffee experience ever. If you only have time for one - this your ticket. Mention Justin for a roaring roasting round of coffee talk!! 10 of 10 !!

    Amazing coffee experience!

    We just did the coffee tasting. We had a great time. Before coffee tasting we gottp test our skills at matching the smells on the cupping flavor scale. Then 5 different coffees paired with different treats. Each complimented the coffee to perfection. Allowed us the opportunity to try the different coffee and treats and chose our favorites to purchase. Great experience and would highly recommend.

    Deluxe Kona Coffee Tasting Experience: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Big Island of Hawaii.

    How much does Deluxe Kona Coffee Tasting Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $38 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 Deluxe Kona Coffee Tasting Experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 40 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 Deluxe Kona Coffee Tasting Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Deluxe Kona Coffee Tasting Experience?

    +

    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 Deluxe Kona Coffee Tasting Experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 40-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Deluxe Kona Coffee Tasting Experience?

    +

    Around 2 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 40-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Deluxe Kona Coffee Tasting Experience 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.

    What is included in Deluxe Kona Coffee Tasting Experience?

    +

    Included: Tea and coffee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Deluxe Kona Coffee Tasting Experience?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Deluxe Kona Coffee Tasting Experience wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Deluxe Kona Coffee Tasting Experience if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Big Island of Hawaii. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Deluxe Kona Coffee Tasting Experience?
