Make a beeline for Manas Aloha Fruit Stand. We tried the fresh coconut, and it was so good, I half expected it to start singing "Aloha" to me. It was like drinking the very essence of Hawaii cool, sweet, and refreshingly perfect. Seriously, I'm pretty sure coconuts were invented just for this moment. The banana nut bread. It's like if a cloud and a muffin had a baby. Warm, soft, and so perfectly balanced between banana and nutty goodness that I almost bought another loaf just to avoid the heartbreak of it being gone. Don't ask how many pieces I ate just know I left with crumbs in my soul. This stand is the kind of place that makes you feel like you're in on a local secret, and by the time you leave, you're planning your next visit. Stop in, grab a coconut, and try not to devour the entire loaf of banana nut bread before you get to your car. It's worth the stop and maybe even the calories. But wait.....there's more! They've got pineapple, sugar cane, and star fruit that'll make you wonder why you ever settled for regular fruit. Each bite tastes like a burst of sunshine, and you'll feel like you're living your best tropical life. read more

My daughter wanted to drink out of a coconut on our vacation and this spot delivered! They were friendly and it was fresh and delicious! Highly recommend hitting this spot when visiting Akaka Falls. read more

Theo and Enoch are the best and they give you great recos on fruit choices that you can't go wrong with. After the back and Akaka falls we needed a much refreshing fruit punch and the ice cold coconut pineapple with fresh lime and tahin left us craving for more to say the least. We did pick up a bag of sugarcane ( chopped into bite size chewies) which will remind you of an amazing sour patch when you have those bites/chewies dunked in lime juice. Absolutely must do on your way back or even upto the falls. read more

Definitely stop here on your way to or from Akaka falls. It's small and unassuming, but they have great fruits and other treats, and you'll be happy you stopped by. We chatted with some of the guys there for a bit, and they told us about some cool spots to visit around the island. Overall, the vibe was on point and the goodies were well worth our time and money. read more

Left 'Akaka Falls State Park and the heat was real. I wanted something cold and refreshing, and Mana's Aloha Farm caught my attention from the road. The signs are bright and inviting, so it's hard to miss. I pulled into the parking lot and the dirt road offers maybe about 10 parking spots. There were other patrons leaving so I was able to snag up parking right when I pulled in. I purchased one of each on their menu offering for the day -- $10 for a fresh coconut and $10 for fresh cut pineapple. One of the guys cut the coconut right in front of me and even cracked it open once I was done with the juice for the coconut meat. The cut pineapple was extremely sweet and so addicting. The fruit sold here is grown on a local farm which means if you stop and purchase at this stand -- you're supporting a local farming family! Nothing better than supporting local. read more

My wife and I stopped by this place after visiting Akaka Falls State Park. The prices are reasonable. We shared a coconut to drink, it was plenty for us! The guys cut it open for us to eat and also gave us star fruit samples. They were also selling pineapples that they would cut up for you. There's parking in the back, two picnic tables to sit at, and a photo stand-in for photo ops. Definitely stop by if you are in the area! read more

SUPPORT LOCAL HAWAIIAN BUSINESSES KANAKA MAOLI!!! You come to our island you do and try things from locals or else don't come at all. You see a local vendor selling things on the side of the road... stop and buy something. Most likely their product is the most juiciest, freshest you'll ever have other than getting it from the abc store and your hotel. This is exactly what you need after you go to Akaka falls. A refreshing snack. Uncle got it all. Even tajin lol. It cost $10 for most and it's worth it. He cut the coconut right in front of you and all the fruits on ice. We got a big bag of fresh pineapple oooweee the sweetest you eva taste. He's got a humble set up posted from dusk till dawn. And he got his son/family out there helping him. Goals.

For the love of fresh buko please let's stop before heading elsewhere. And that's what we did after splurging our eyes at Akaka Falls from afar. MAF offers fresh buko juice, fresh pineapple, dried banana treats and crafted necklaces. Bandit and I gave ourselves buko juice fresh inside the buko shell. The two owners will be happy to open the buko so that you can have the flesh from it which is nostalgic to me every time coz it reminds me of my childhood way back home. And the best part of it is when the flesh is young! That's the sign that you got the good omen that afternoon. LoL. It was refreshing and feels good to have fresh sweet buko juice paired with its young flesh. In addition to that, Dumdumz got me a hono necklace crafted by one of the guy's aunt. It was simple yet meaningful. Took an extra minute to chill within the area and we were so fond with this chicken with fat legs (we call it bantam way back home). People come and go in a snap after grabbing their buko but I suggest you to take time immersing yourself on the area and feel the fresh trade wind and just enjoy while sipping your fresh buko juice. Mahalo for reading and happy juandering fellow yeeps! read more

Suh-weet!!! Farm fresh coconut and pineapple! We saw this fruit stand in Wailea on our way to 'Akaka Falls State Park on Highway 22 (Big Island). We stopped by on our way back after a short hiking experience to see the waterfall. It was our fourth waterfall sightseeing for the day so we were a bit hungry and we didn't really see any food places around so we were delighted to spot a fruit stand. Mana's Aloha Farm offered yummy, fresh sweet pineapple and coconut. They cut up the pineapple for you and put them in a plastic zip-lock bag. If purchasing coconut first they cut the coconut, stuck a straw in it and handed to us to drink the coconut juice, then we handed it back to them so they could cut open and scoop out the meat for us. The price for each is $10 for each! Yikes! A little steep. We didn't want to leave Hawai'i without trying fresh pineapple and coconut right from local growers... we had to get both. I'm not fond of coconut as my hubby is but the pineapple was juicy, sweet and delicious! The last time we had fresh fruit like this was when we were growing up in the Philippines as kids. There are some benches and picnic tables nearby. Plenty of parking on a dirt road. Review #2292 read more

Fresh fruit and friendly folks at a fruit stand way off the beaten path normally would always get 5 stars. But the prices are crazy high. It's $10 for a ziplock of pineapple, $10 for a coconut, and $10 for some chopped up sugarcane. You certainly don't have to order everything, or even anything., but still The pineapple was fantastic. The coconut was very fresh and goes well with the pineapple. The sugarcane, with lime added, was really good (you don't eat it--you suck on it--and it's sweet and tangy). No question, the fruit was delicious. But the prices are really high. Lots of wild chickens strolling the area. They add to the ambiance. read more

Why did the coconut stop in the middle of the road? Because he ran out of juice! source: http://www.jokes4us.com/miscellaneousjokes/foodjokes/coconutjokes.html Arrived around noon. Not too busy for a Monday. Plenty of parking behind the food stand. The two guys working there were super friendly and helpful. They offered us some star fruit to try out as well! The stand sells coconut/juice and pineapples. My husband and I shared a huge coconut drink that filled us up for the drive back to Kona. After we were done, they cut open the coconut for us to eat the rest of the meat inside. Definitely recommend if you're coming back from the Akaka Falls! It's right off the side of the road. read more

We were driving and all of a sudden we saw on the side of the street a spot that sold coconut drinks. While we were in Hawaii, we definitely needed to stop by and drink coconut juice straight from the coconut. We all ordered coconut drinks and we all enjoyed it! It was refreshing! I loved it! One of my friends couldn't finish her coconut drink so I drank it for her.. haha. It was goooood. Thank you Mana's Aloha Farm for the coconut drinks! read more

This felt like something out of a movie. We happened upon this lovely little stand on our way to Akaka falls and on our way back decided to stop in for some fresh coconut and let me tell you, they did not disappoint. They were so friendly and cracked a coconut open right when we walked up. I had never experienced fresh coconut right out of the shell and it was life changing. They also had an amazing assortment of handmade jewelry, pineapples, and sugar cane. It was a great way to top off the wonderful sight seeing at Akaka Falls. read more

We stopped by Manas Aloha Farm to enjoy some fresh coconuts after our visit to Rainbow Falls. This place is really convenient and has great service. I have to mention it is a bit pricy especially considering how abundant coconuts are in Hawaii. We paid $8 for one coconut and even though they cut it for you to eat after drinking the coconut water I do think this price is steep. The price is the main reason I can't give it a 5-star rating. The coconut water tasted really good and refreshing, but I have to admit I'm not a huge fan of the coconut meat. The farm is littered with chickens and roosters walking around eating the leftovers which makes the experience that much more interesting. You can give them your leftovers if you'd like, but they won't stop bothering you after so be prepared for that! Overall I do recommend this place, but just be aware the prices are rather high and I believe they only take cash. read more

Cute fruit stand located by Akaka Falls. We stopped by here on our way out. They have fresh pineapple (in zip lock bags already cut up) and fresh coconuts (they'll give you the whole coconut for you to drink the juice, then they'll chop it open for you to eat the fruit). Whichever you choose, they're $10 each. read more

We enjoyed this thoroughly! On our way back from Akaka Falls (Hilo area) we stopped by here since we had a couple of fruit people in our group! The pineapple with the tajin seasoning and lime juice was amazing! I don't think I'll ever go back to eating pineapple without it again! We had sugar cane after 25-30 years. Used to be a favorite ( especially sugarcane juice with salt, pepper, ginger and lime) when in Pakistan years ago. Hadn't even seen it again since then. So our group got pretty excited! Coconut was pretty good too- also with the tahin (I might be spelling this incorrectly) seasoning and lime juice! read more

Sweet coconut juice! Perfect pit stop after the Akaka waterfalls walk. $10 is definitely pricey but on vacation... it's fun to see hens and roosters picking on leftovers. The sugarcane with lime squeeze was refreshing as well! Cash only. read more

This place is awesome! It's located near the entrance of Akaka Falls, pretty hard to miss. They sell locally picked coconuts and pineapples. We got the coconut, which they let us sip the juice, and afterwards cut up the coconut meat inside for us. Sooo delicious. They have this amazing white pineapple that's dank af too. The guy that worked there was so chill. I totally forgot to ask for his name, but he cut up our coconut and sat and chilled with us for a bit before we went to our next stop. I highly recommended making a pit stop here! read more

A real 5 STAR place. This food stall is amazing. The coconut was picked right on the farm. The coconut water was sweet and the malai was thin and soft. The guava was super sweet and perfectly ripe. Food-wise, was the highlight of our day today on the big island. If you are visiting Akaka falls please stop by this place and thank me later! read more

Came here after hiking at Akaka farms and Theo was soooo nice, helpful, and informative! Make sure to bring cash since they're cash only :) Got the coconut where they create a hole at the top so you can drink it with a straw. When you're finished, they'll cut it open and slice the coconut meat up for you. The meat was so tender it nearly melted in my mouth. We also got the sliced pineapple which was super juicy and sweet. We tried the sugar cane as well which tasted like candy. They serve it with lime which you squeeze over it, chew up the sugar cane, and spit it out once all the juice is gone. I recommend everything! read more

Simple and nice! After driving by so many fruit stands on the Big Island I had to pull us over after coming out from Akaka Falls. It's $8 for a coconut. We both got coconuts and no other fruits, because they were massive. The guy working will cut it on the spot, give you a straw, and then cut it up for meat after you're done. We walked our coconuts over to check out their peacocks while drinking, and then to play a little with their chocolate lab. It can be a little bit of an attraction! The coconut was fizzy(interestingly, they're apparently not always fizzy). The meat was crunchy and made for a day of snacks after. They apparently grow all the fruits they sell here. read more

Was leaving Akaka falls state park when I decided to stop here to get some fresh cut pineapple. There was a long line and I waited about 10 minutes. Not only is this place a big rip off, but they are also unclean. They charged me $5 for half a pineapple that they chopped up and placed into a small ziplock bag for me. Half the pieces weren't edible because it was the pineapple stem and two pieces had hair on it. Yes, this place is convenient and lures you in on a hot day visiting the park, but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. read more

Tourist trap. They change the prices on you. $1 star fruit becomes $3 when its time to pay. Prices are half down the way at the pit stop.

the BEST people! fresh yummy fruit, excellent service, and literally the best place ever! HIGHLY recommend!!! :))) they also give all parts of the fruit, we got a coconut and he let us drink it and then he took out all the meat of the fruit and gave it to us to go. Gave us free apple bananas and was literally so nice! cutest place ever read more

Great, great, great! We pulled into the stand after hiking around Akaka Falls. They cut 5 fresh, large coconuts and handed them to us. I had an ample amount of juice in mine. I ended up having to put the rest of the juice in a solo cup. We then handed the coconuts back and they harvested the meat right in front of us! My coconut ended having a "coconut gel" in it that turns out to be a delicacy amongst the locals. The two gentlemen were very nice, answered our questions, and did not mind taking photos. I'm very happy with my experience and strongly recommend everyone to stop by the stand! read more

Don't waste your time or money here unless you're looking for standard Safeway quality produce. The "ice cold coconut" was far from it and the coconut meat was very bitter. The sugar cane was old and no juice. All together the worst experience of this kind on island. read more
