The reviews are spot-on! Hala Tree is fantastic! I don't even drink coffee and I lived every minute of our tour. Kat was a wonderful guide who showed us the farm, how coffee is grown, harvested, and processed. She served us coffee and caffeine-free herbal tea (yay!) and helped us choose gifts for family and friends in their cute gift shop. A lovely afternoon on a beautiful, welcoming farm. Put this on your list! read more

Did the tour and the sample of 3 coffees where you pick from almost 20 coffee beans they have. It was lovely sitting in the elevated hut overlooking the view and quietness. Bring your own pastries to make it extra yummy. The coffee trees are 100 years old! The tour was $10 on GetYourGuide but I read it was free before.. read more

Free coffee tour with breathtaking views. Aaliyah was our coffee tour and she was great. She was very welcoming, friendly and made our coffee tour enjoyable. We made reservations for a 10am coffee tour with 6 adult and 2 kids. Not only did we get to sample coffee upon arrival, but we were able open macadamia nuts with a rock and eat it fresh. We even saw some geckos. The tour was very educational and we took some great pictures. Thanks to Aaliyah for an amazing time and letting us grab some delicious avocados from tree. read more

Wish I could give them 6 stars! I'm so lucky that we stumbled on this place while looking up coffee farms in Kona. They offer a free tour -- which was very informative and cool to see! When you enter you might think you're in the wrong place but you're not! I'm so happy we supported this farm instead of a more tourist-y attraction. Our tour guide was very informative and answered all our questions. The free tour includes some samples and you can purchase an extra flight of samples as well. And did I mention it's beautiful? Would recommend to anybody! Don't be scared off by the parking lot. They have a couple tea options as well if you're not that into coffee. read more

Hala Tree Coffee - Attraction Farms Near Me - Captain Cook, Hawaii

Tour, tasting and purchase. The farm offers tour of their farm explaining the history to growing coffee plant, harvesting and roasting the coffee beans. The staff on this day was well versed and had good knowledge of coffee. There is coffee tasting with fee after tour or coffee brewing class. You can sample select coffee on display, too. They have variety of flavors of coffee. The farm itself is small, therefore the tour is just short walking distance from the main store. A definite stop while visiting the island. read more

I don't know why other coffee farms charge for their tours when a fantastic experience can be had at Hala Tree for free. It's a simple roughly one hour tour that involves very little walking but a ton of information. The guides are fantastic. The vibe is excellent and at the end you can sample a flight of coffee types. Even then a 3 coffee French press sampling is only $15. There's no hard selling here. We recommend combining the tour with either a 1 hour brewing class or 1 hour roasting class. You can do them back to back. The classes are simple, fun, laid back and reasonably priced. And again no hard up sell. Really cool vibes. Kudos to the Brie and Kiley (sp?) were fabulous. read more

We had a really nice experience and the staff were amazing. They even provided suggestions of other must dos on the island. There was not a lot of walking which was good for my mother who walks with a cane. The variety of coffee selections to taste was good. I purchased some tea which I have been consuming since the visit and I already need more because it was so enriching in taste and the health components read more

Loved this coffee farm and the tour we got! It was intimate and very personal. We had all of our questions answered, got great recommendations for which coffee to taste and learned a lot about the coffee making process. It was fun to learn about Kona coffee and what sets it apart from all other coffee types. It was fun to do a coffee flight taste test along with the complimentary taste test. We also got to pick some avocados and macadamia nuts on the farm. My husband found this place by happenstance and I'm so glad he did! I definitely recommend this coffee farm and the tour. read more

We had an absolutely amazing coffee tour at the Hala tree coffee farm you can tell how much they really care about their business and everything is so thoughtful. There were so many dogs, which I absolutely loved!! The dogs were very respectful though so I would not worry at all if you don't like dogs. The coffee was all amazing and we got to try some amazing different blends and tasters would 100% recommend and I would love to go back. read more

Beautiful place. You can tour the farm, it takes about one hour and is free. We opted out of this because we were hungry. They have a couple of kinds of coffee to try for free, and you can pay a small fee to try a few others. Coffee was outstanding. We spent several minutes talking to the gentleman who was doing the roasting on site. Very kind, and explained the whole process to my children. It is expensive, but some of the best coffee I've ever had. read more

We went for a tour and tasting here and left a couple of hundred dollars lighter because we couldn't bear to leave without some of their more delicious offerings. I'm obsessed with the honey processed coffee, and the tea. We even brought back some gifts to share the joy of perfect coffee. The tour was incredible, and our guide was super knowledgable and very personable. We learned a ton and the farm is beautiful. Parking is a little tricky (it's Hawai'i...) but the tour is not to be missed. Truly we had the best time. We can't wait to go back. read more

When we got here, we were immediately greeted and given a ton of information on the different coffees to try. The group I was with had a half flight and each one was different but great. Marissa helped us with all of the information and was even our tour guide for the free tour. She was super knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful! Would definitely recommend this as a stop, great staff and great products. Only thing is there is no cream or sugar to add or drinks made as cups so if you are looking to just pop in and grab a cup of coffee, I'd go elsewhere otherwise if you want to learn more and taste a variety of black coffees, this is the place to go! read more

So fun and interesting! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny! We had the 1 hr free tour and we had a small tasting afterwards that we paid for. All forth while. They have 3 dogs wandering around that are so sweet. Bought a couple of bags of coffee. read more

So I didn't get to try any of their hot coffee or go on their tour - I was only in the area a couple days (I miss it already!), so I only had time to go on one coffee tour - but I saw around 3:40 that they closed at 4, and they were down the street from where we were staying, so I had just enough time to check them out before they closed - that's how I learned that they put away their hot coffee samples around 3:40, but that's fine, I was a lot more interested in what they did still have out, than in hot coffee. What they had out included a wonderful coffee/honey jam, a wonderful coffee/honey syrup, and a couple wonderful cold brew blends, including one with locally grown slightly-spicy peppers, which I, as a weird person who loves adding peppers to everything, loved. (I bought a bag of that - though I wish I'd bought a bit more, I've drunk it already! It's not cheap, but still cheaper than buying cold brew at a coffee shop!) The view from the parking lot is also pretty great - though make sure not to overshoot the entrance to it, like I did, as the road just past the entrance gets very steep and is difficult to turn around on. read more

I would definitely recommend this place to all tourists coming to the big island. Ambiance: small family feel, backyard informal welcoming space, parking is tight Service: our two tour guides for the farm tour and the brewing tutorial were both very knowledgeable and accommodating. During the farm tour I felt like I learned so much regarding Kona coffee and the process and effort it takes to produce those little coffee beans. The tour is not too long and the guide kept us engaged. Definitely felt like we got a great value from this place. Tour ends with coffee and tea tasting. The second part of our tour was the brewing tutorial. This was very eye opening for me because I learned that the different ways of brewing coffee can highly influence the taste and texture. Sorry I have been a Starbucks snob for awhile and didn't realize the intricacies of coffee preparation. We were able to explore three different methods of brewing and compared each of those methods. Again the service and interaction was great, there were only four of us in this tour which made it personal and engaging. Food: the coffee was spectacular in my opinion, but I'm a novice at actually paying attention to the nuances of the coffee flavor minus all the sweet creamers I add. They have a great selection of beans to take home. We ended up buying the Light roast Honey Kona beans which we have enjoyed during our stay here in Hawaii. Take a quick drive to this place. Aloha! Oh they also recommended a great local taco place called Shakaz Tacos which we appreciated. read more

My family and I enjoyed our time at Hala Tree coffee farm. My daughters absolutely adored the friendly rescue pups who greeted us upon arrival. Our hostess Sabrina did a fantastic job sharing the history of the farm, varieties of coffee trees, as well as the harvesting and processing process. She also went in-depth discussing the different ways beans are roasted to bring out natural favors. We enjoyed sampling the coffee varieties and french press tasters of the Geisha and Deep Red. read more

I never seen a coffee plant until I did this tour. I learned so much about coffee plants, harvesting and processing. Now I won't complain about a $4 cup of coffee! So much work goes into coffee growing. I would recommend doing the tour and getting the sample flights. Gives you an opportunity to try some of their unique blends before you buy. Stop in and buy a few pounds of coffee. Don't forget to tip your tour guide and pet the dogs. read more

Came in last Thursday for a tour and we were so impressed! The workers here are so chill and informative. We learned a lot and had a great time.

They have a couple samples and plenty of coffee beans for purchase. This was one of our favorite things we did on the big island! read more

This was my first time visiting the Kona island. During my visit, my family and I looked up some Kona coffee plantation to visit and taste some special coffee. This place was awesome, I believe our guide was named Jean. She was super friendly and nice. She gave us a good back history of their business and as well as the process of making their Kona coffee and tea by using the berries from the coffee trees. We had also tasted 3 different types of coffee beans, and they were all delicious. After the tastings we purchased some many bags of coffee beans. Will for sure come back for another visit! read more

My fiancée and I did a roasting tour and a walking tour with a flight of half-french-presses. We had a very small group for our roasting tour (just one other couple), which made it feel like a private tour. Our roasting guide seemed very passionate about coffee and was eager to answer all of our questions, which made for an awesome experience. After trying some free coffee samples, we also joined in on a farm tour and tried a flight of half-french-presses of some of their more unique coffees. They're one of the only farms which process coffee using all three methods--wet fermentation, natural, and honey--so we were eager to try the less common honey and natural methods. We were able to enjoy our coffee taking in the incredible views. As others have mentioned, parking can be tricky, but we booked an earlier tour on a weekday and didn't have much trouble. read more

Friendly and informative staff, beautiful views,and delicious coffee and tea! We went for the tour, we signed up in advance and I was impressed with their organization, they send you several reminders and helpful directions. Upon arrival you can sample a few of their pre-brewed selections in the coffee gift shop. The tour itself is a short walk and brief explanation of how coffee is grown, harvested, and processed. Then you move on to the tasting area where the views are stunning, there we had some samples of cold tea and to finish you can select from their menu and they grind and French press your selection (this part isn't free, but it's worth it!). We left with a few bags of coffee and tea, then we signed up for their coffee club. read more

This small, organic mom & pop coffee farm offers a *free* tour which was both informative and enjoyable. Sara, our guide, taught us about the different types of beans and methods of harvesting coffee and how they yield different tasting results, which will forever inform my coffee selection from here on out. At the end of the tour, we were invited to test different types of coffee, and passed around beans at different stages of the process. The very best part was that we were able to sit on private deck with an amazing view of both the farm & ocean, and order a flight of coffees ($12) to test. I don't even normally drink coffee black but I absolutely loved trying the different types. It was a joy for the senses, and a very affordable and lovely way to spend time with the family. read more

We wanted to tour a coffee farm on our trip to the Big Island, and though some usual places were closed, Hala remained open. They noted on their website that the tour takes place outdoors, so that offered more peace of mind. We made a reservation on their website (free), showed up, and were taken across the grounds to see and hear about the growing and picking process. Finally, we were able to sample several different roasts of their beans. Overall, it was a lovely experience. I had toured a farm before in Costa Rica, but it was interesting to see the differences. I especially appreciated that everything on this farm is organic. We ended up buying some black and tan, their medium-dark roast to take home. I liked it so much that I ended up ordering more online after returning. It was wonderful hearing the story of the couple that rebuilt this farm and made it their work. You might even seen them on the grounds! read more
