My wife had been wanting to make her own chocolate bar for years and I was primarily interested in…read morethe process every time we come to Kauai. Well, we finally pulled the trigger on it and did the experience...and it was well worth it. Lance, the owner and instructor was fantastic. With only 8 spots available, you have to book this as soon as it is available. The shop is only 300 sq. Ft. So any more people would be too much and the set up was perfect. It is amazing this small space produces the chocolate! The overall lesson is great because he takes you from bean to chocolate. This is not tree to chocolate because he doesn't have the trees nor does he have the pods and that part of the collection process (however, Lance, if you or your wife are reading this, it might be a great future endeavor to have an option to work with one of your partners and add on the collection tour before!). While he doesn't have the collection process, Lance does an excellent job speaking to the process once beans are collected. From there, the chocolate making and tasting process is thoroughly explained and you are part of it. Finally, making your chocolate is a lot of fun and there are roughly 30 ingredients you can use for your 2 bars. I personally made: an Indian spice flavor chocolate for half a bar, coconut sea salt for second half, matcha coconut sea salt for 3rd half, and coffee bean sea salt for last). Bring your creativity! Thank you Lance for this fantastic experience.

Fantastic experience! Very fun and we learned so much from Lance! Plus...chocolate! Highly…read morerecommend!

Our instructor Irina started off the workshop with such amazing vibes and taught us how to make a lei po'o. Class was about 2.5 hours and you were able to take your time to create your own masterpiece! I would recommend it to everyone that wants to learn how to make a proper lei and take home a little bit of the Hawaiian culture/knowledge with them!

Irina…read moretook the time at the beginning of our workshop to share with us the history and culture of making Lei. She took the time to bring our family and friends closer by sharing our purpose and bringing meaning to our time together. It was a special bonding moment. We had both men and women make lei po'o. I know our guys were skeptical at first but they all really enjoyed the experience as well. I wore my lei po'o for my wedding the next day and to other events during our stay. This was an experience our friends and family will not forget that let us experience culture and build memories together!

Lola Driving School may have worked well for some families, but that was not our experience…read more As a family with a neurodivergent teen, we found the main instructor verbally abrasive, dismissive, and inconsistent in her professionalism. Sessions were frequently canceled or started late on her end, yet we were charged fees for any lateness or rescheduling. The communication style felt disrespectful toward both students and parents, including during the parent night. After we withdrew, multiple teens we know shared similar experiences. If your child needs patience, clear communication, or respectful instruction--especially if they are neurodivergent or not local-presenting--I recommend proceeding with caution or choosing another program.

Not only does this aunty breach attendance contracts with her students, she also discriminates…read moreagainst those experiencing medical conditions. She has shown no desire to help these students succeed in getting their license while they also balance the other demands of succeeding in school, sports, etc. and dealing with uncontrollable health circumstance. I know driving schools on Kauai are far and few between but this one is easy to get into for a reason. The only "life lesson" this aunty teaches is how not to conduct a business in Hawaii. No Aloha to be found. Worth waiting for a spot with the Aunties and Uncles who have Aloha for their students and want them to succeed in all aspects of life.
