    Exceeded our expectations!

    We toured in Oct 2026 about a month after the Hurricane. They’ve worked hard to recover and are going full force! Can’t say enough good things about this excursion. It’s a must-do in Kauai imho. All 4 in our party agree that Mason was the most entertaining and informative guide, the grounds were beautiful, the tastings were generous, they thought of our comfort by providing nice big umbrellas for shade (or rain if needed), fans, water jugs to refill your bottles, botanic bug spray mist (smells great) in the multiple tasting locations on the grounds. Mason noticed that I was fanning myself a lot and took it upon himself to get on his radio and request a colleague to bring a battery-powered fan with a mister!! WOW!! It’s a little hike not too strenuous. Such an amazing variety of flora. We tasted so much fruit, a bunch of honey and a LOT of chocolates and macadamia nuts. This ARTISAN chocolate tasting is divine. We all bought a lot of chocolate at the end and they packed it up in weather-proof cute bag with ice packs!! Well worth the price of admission!

    Chocolate, Honey, Fruit Farm Excellence.

    Sunscreen needed. Guide Jess was very knowledgeable & made things super interesting. Samples were ample. Those with mobility problems were supported by staff. Outstanding!!!

    A must have experience if...

    A must have experience if you are visiting Kauai. Sheri was an amazing tour guide that taught us a lot about chocolate and Hawaiian plants present on the farm. I would recommend wearing shoes that can get wet and/or muddy.

    Agustus Gloop (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) Would've Loved This Experience!

    Despite the heavy rain, we had a wonderful time on the Kauai Chocolate Farm Tasting Tour. Plus, we were so happy to support them after Hurricane Nolo! You felt the ohana spirit as soon as you arrived and while driving to the Farm. Our guide, Jess, was wonderful, informative, and so accommodating. You get to learn a lot about chocolate and the regenerative, sustainable practices at Lydgate Farm. But, most importantly, you got to eat plenty of chocolate. You also got to try lots of local fruit and learn about many indigenous plants. If you're on Kauai, this is a must-do, and you should bring the entire family. With the deluxe tour, you'll get a large bag of chocolate items you can mix and match as you please. All the workers at Lydgate are committed to growing and producing some of the most delicious craft chocolate, and you can taste the difference. If you are a chocolate aficionado, don't miss this tour!

    Jess and the all tastings were incredible!

    We were so impressed with our tour guide, Jess, who was incredibly knowledgeable and lots of fun to spend the afternoon with! The tour was amazing and all the tastings were incredible. Couldn’t believe how many wonderful things we got to try, from fruit grown on the farm to a large variety of chocolate and macadamia nut treats. Highly recommend!

    Kauai Chocolate Farm Tasting Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kauai.

    How much does Kauai Chocolate Farm Tasting Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $145 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kauai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Kauai Chocolate Farm Tasting Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Kauai is not rushed.

    Is Kauai Chocolate Farm Tasting Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 1,115 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Kauai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Kauai Chocolate Farm Tasting Tour?

    +

    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 Kauai Chocolate Farm Tasting Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Kauai Chocolate Farm Tasting Tour?

    +

    Around 390 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 Kauai 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 Kauai and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Kauai Chocolate Farm Tasting Tour 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 Kauai 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 Kauai?

    +

    Kauai sells Na Pali Coast boat and helicopter tours, Waimea Canyon drives, tubing through old plantation ditches and Hanalei kayak trips. Ocean conditions shut down the north shore boat runs in winter, so cancellation terms matter. On Outty we rank every Kauai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Koloa Zipline in Kauai, Kauai: NaPali Boat Tour on the Amelia K, Kauai: Secret Falls Kayak and Hike. 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 Kauai?

    +

    April to June and September to October, with calmest seas in summer. 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 Kauai?

    +

    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 Kauai Chocolate Farm Tasting Tour?

    +

    Included: Three-hour guided tour of Lydgate Farms; Chocolate Tasting; and Educational insights from knowledgeable local guides. Not included: Hotel pick-up and drop off; Farm Shop Purchases; Gratuities; and Private Tour. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Kauai Chocolate Farm Tasting Tour?

    +

    Search for Lydgate Farms Chocolate Tour on Google maps or Waze and follow the directions to 5730 Olohena Road. Please arrive 15 minutes before your booking. Driving directions are included in the welcome email. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Kauai Chocolate Farm Tasting Tour?

    +

    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 Kauai Chocolate Farm Tasting Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Children tour fare is valid for kids 9-13 . We do not allow children under 9, including in. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Kauai Chocolate Farm Tasting Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
