    Coffee with a View
    Alyssa A.

    We stopped by here while on a tour to the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, and it was such a lovely, enjoyable stop to learn all about coffee! Our tour guide gave us his own tour, so we got learn all about the coffee process from growing to serving. Super cool! They also give you a tasting of their coffee - you can try both a medium and dark roast. We weren't too big of fans of the dark roast, but the medium roast was great. They also sell bags of their coffee as well as fresh banana bread. One of the best parts is the absolutely beautiful view you have of the farm grounds and the ocean while you're doing the coffee tasting. It is so peaceful to just sip your coffee and enjoy the magnificence of nature around you. You'll also get plenty of chances to see geckos running around the farm. They also have nice, clean bathrooms to use (which is always a wonderful gift when you're driving around). Overall, it is such a wonderful stop to enjoy while visiting the Big Island.

    We came here on a Wasabi Tour. Aaron was a fantastic guide, showing us and identifying plants. I did not know that coffee trees have "cherries" which are harvested for the coffee beans within. He also told us about the "canoe plants" - plants brought to Hawaii, not native to Hawaii but growing here. We saw guava, avocado, banana, hibiscus, white bird of paradise, pineapple and ti plants. We also saw Madagascar geckos which are bright green with red markings. Beautiful! Birds were also nearby, and the golden one escaped my camera's eye, but seeing it in flight was breatht At the gift shop we sampled the medium and dark coffee produced here. We liked both, but purchased Kona medium coffee, which they ground and resealed for us. We also purchased their home made banana bread, made from the bananas grown here. The gentleman serving coffee samples and the young lady who rang up our purchases were friendly and helpful. We also used the bathrooms. They were clean, with soap and water as well as toilet paper. Loved visiting this farm!

    Wonderful small coffee farm with personal informative tours! Totally worth the stop, not to mention superior coffee.

    Gorgeous view of the bay.

    A hidden gem amongst the many coffee roasters in the Captain Cook/Kona area. If you call and reserve your free tour in advance, you will skip the bus loads of tourists that are scheduled daily. Thanks to reserving in advance, we were given a private tour of the grounds. Evie, our tour guide, has lived on the island her entire life and she made the coffee harvesting, roasting and distributing process easy to understand! The beautiful view of the bay is unmatched. The coffee cherry (yes, a fruit) is actually very flavorful to eat by itself and the honey-like membrane on the seed (bean) is silky and delicious. This is a great coffee tour for an intro. to the coffee industry, and the single origin Kona Coffee is solid!

    We were on our way to two step and realized we didn't drink any coffee that day. Quickly did a google search to find this place. We are glad we found this place! Last year we went to a big coffee farm that is more commercialized. This place had just the right amount of commercialization. We sampled their medium and dark roasts. Got two pounds of their medium roast. Got some random soaps & butter spreads as well. Better priced than the other farm that we went to last year.

    Wonderful stop along our tour. The farm is beautiful, coffee delicious and such a friendly visit with the owner in the gift shop.

    Bay View is a very nice and small mill/roaster near the Painted Church. It offers a very nice view of the bay (duh), and some really tasty coffee. Because Bay View is smaller and off the beaten path, you don't feel like you're at a touristy or wal-mart-like place. You're free to roam around, and impromptu tours are offered, if you're interested.

A web search led me to Kona Premium Coffee Company (Cornwell no longer exists) and only a website and no purchasing information besides online/shipping. I had the business card so we drove to the Bishop Road location at 4:50 pm on a Wednesday as the office is open until 5 pm. All signs pointed to Heavenly Hawaiian Farms (not Kona Premium). Clearly not a store front and no one was in the office. We called and it went to the answering machine that we heard behind the office door. The next day I called as all the listings said the farm tour and tastings were by appointment only. I left a message and no one ever returned my call. The answering machine also lists a number of businesses so I'm not sure what's going on. Now, the plus side to this trip is on the way down the hill, there was an unstaffed roadside stand for Morning Glory Farms where I bought coffee ($20/half pound - great price) and some fresh fruit. Paid by Venmo, all was delicious.

    Big Island Abalone has been on our list of to-do's for a while and we finally booked the farm tour…read morewhen we knew we would run errands in Kona. This place is close to the airport and very easy to find. Our guide Carlos was awesome - very knowledgeable and funny. We learned a lot in the one hour tour. We also got to sample seaweed, sea grapes and abalone at the end of the tour. We went to the food truck afterwards. Service was quick and the staff were really nice. We ordered 1/4 lb of the garlic butter abalone and 1/4 lb of the chilli garlic abalone. Both were great. Sounds expensive but I will say that we had abalone in a similar proportion in Monterey and paid more than double what we did at Big Island Abalone. We already have plans to stop at the food truck again on our way through Kona later this well. Well worth visiting. A must if you love abalone.

(We were there just yesterday) Held the attention of my 8 & 10 year old! Seriously felt like a well put together fun school field trip. I wish we had something like this on the mainland. Parents - you have to bring your kids. They'll learn a lot & have fun doing it. My kids are still talking about the abalone, the eyes & feel super smart deciphering which abalone are boys or girls. And if you don't have kids, go anyways! I learned a lot. Best part, there's a food truck on the premises to try the abalone + other stuff. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but YOU WILL NEVER HAVE SUCH TENDER ABALONE ANYWHERE ELSE!!! You need to stop by and try something off their menu. Garlic butter was our favorite, but my husband really liked the chili oil. The only thing I wished they offered - a summer camp for kids. I feel with such unique operations (go on the tour and learn about it), it's a great way to learn about sustainability, ecosystems, and more. Maybe someone will read my post and think about it. I'm sure parents would love to have their kids immersed in such a wonderful environment. Props to: Carlos. Thank you so much for our tour. My 10 year old loves marine animals & absolutely loved the tour. She can't wait to share with her teacher and classmates what she learned. If we return to the island in the future, we'll definitely be making another stop.

The grounds itself are absolutely gorgeous and that view from the hill onto the ocean is unreal! I can't for the life of me remember our tour guides name but she was such a joy and extremely knowledgeable. Learning about the different coffee variants that are grown such as Kona typica, Progeny 502, and the "boujee girl" Geisha was awesome to learn about and see for ourselves. Did I mention endless coffee sampling? Such a relaxing atmosphere to sip all the coffee you want and enjoy that view. And the cutest cats on the property were such a delight mingling with the guests. All staff members were so helpful and they even treated us with a goodie bag of freshly picked fruits from the farm and a bag of peaberry bites (my new favorite) all as a thank you for paying a visit on our honeymoon! Was not expecting that all but such a sweet gesture! I would highly recommend Heavenly Hawaiian farms to anyone if you're on the Big Island or in the Kona area. Absolutely worth the trip up the hill and to feel the aloha from the staff and grounds.

At a transitional point in my life after some major changes, I discovered their Forest Bathing (Shinrin-Yoku) experience. As a first-timer, I was blown away--it felt deeply spiritual and cleansing, with guided invitations to slow down, breathe in the cool forest air, listen to the birds and rustling leaves, and connect mindfully with the ancient trees and vibrant ecosystem. I highly recommend this for anyone seeking personal growth, healing, or simply a reset amid life's junctors. Our guide, Bri, was exceptional--knowledgeable, intuitive, and truly essential to unlocking the full magic of the experience. Request her if you can! For visitors to Hawai'i, don't miss this hidden gem on the uplands of the Big Island. It's a serene contrast to the beaches, showcasing the island's diverse, restorative natural side. As a lucky Holualoa resident, I'm excited to explore more offerings, especially the Sound Bath Meditation Journey, tree-planting volunteer opportunities, and Bri's new Exploring Within: A Music & Movement Journey in Nature. p.s. make sure you use their natural mosquito spray before heading out!

This place is definitely up in the clouds and gets really cold. There are a variety of tours that are offered and I ended up taking a hike and a sound bath. The hike was about a mile long and it looped around the cloud forest, so there's no way you can get lost. They are still actively working to plant trees and they have volunteer opportunities on the weekends for locals which I think it's a great option. This is such a peaceful and amazing way to learn about the history of the island along with ways to protect the trees and other plants that are being planted there. In addition to the hiking, there is also birdwatching and there's also a sound bath that is offered. I ended up doing the sound bath and it was just absolutely amazing, and it was really amazing right after the hike. I highly recommend both of these activities and to try to do them back to back. Both are such a relax and experience and it's also helping to reclaim the natural Kona world from deforestation.
