Big Island Epic Coffee Tour at Ohana Ranch
4.5 / 5 · 47 traveler reviews
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.
