Informative and delicious!!! - The tour was by far the best tour I've ever been on in Hawaii or anywhere for that matter. Our guides Sarah and Mackenna were so knowledgeable and made the tour so much fun. We had a great time learning about Bees but also the best part was tasting the honey we harvested as a group!!! So so good, the various kinds of honey were so interesting to taste, I personally loved the Macadamia Nut flower honey, and took a jar home with me too!!! Definitely do this tour if you are even thinking about booking it!!!

absolutely unBEElievable - it was incredible, the best tour we have done so far. the experience actually seeing the honey be harvested, McKenna and Sarah were great guides and facilitated an environment for questions and even conversation about the other plants on the farm we had questions about. their passion was obvious and now has us strategizing about getting into beekeeping (even though we currently live in a city apartment 🤣) highly highly recommended, would 100000% even go again.

Do it! - We so enjoyed this tour! Our guides Kenna and Sarah were so fabulous, fun and knowledgeable! We learned so much about bees, bee keeping and honey! We suited up, got to hold a plate, observed honey being harvested, we sampled that fresh honey and honeycomb- it was so delicious! Highly recommend this tour!

A "MUST DO"- loved it!! - Wow- SO much fun! Well run, gorgeous farm, very cool- would recommend to everyone! Tour guides were fabulous- engaging and knowledgeable. Went out of their way to make sure everyone was attended to- I would definitely do this again. Learned so much about bees, pollen & honey- and yes, there is a HUGE difference between types! Didnt push the souvenirs, which was appreciated, but you will want to buy one of each anyway!! Love you guys 💕

Honey Bee - The tour was an excellent presentation on the islands honey. To actually suit up and experience removal of the honey was exciting! Then of course, tasting that fresh honey was a delight. Makenna and Sara shared interesting facts on the bees and how the hive works. Definitely a must go to tour.
