Seeing what the company did with unused land & turning it into a successful fertile area that produces quality plants.

Sean was a wonderful guide. I loved being out in the trees & seeing them up close. I enjoyed learning about the process from planting the trees though to the finished product. The tasting location in the trees was high enough to have gorgeous views of the mountains & the ocean. A wonderful experience!

This was a great tour for the family. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the farm and chocolate development process - and made the whole experience fun. The tasting at the end was done in a tree house type area with a great view of the island.
