HOLUALOA GUIDED TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Holualoa’s Hula Daddy: A compact, sensory tour from tree to roast
A roughly 60-minute guided walk at Hula Daddy Kona Coffee in Holualoa that moves from a five‑acre overlook through coffee trees to the roasting room and concludes with tastings.
Holualoa’s Hula Daddy: A compact, sensory tour from tree to roast.
On arrival you’re greeted with two of the farm’s award‑winning coffees and a short check‑in before a guide leads the group across an overlooking view of the plantation. The tour traces the farm’s place in the Kona region, points out the fruit and flora on the property, brings you to the coffee trees where you may see the bean’s seasonal cycle and—time and timing permitting—pick and taste a bean straight from the tree; the visit ends with a visit to the roasting room and tastings from the Limited Edition Allocation List. Tours are tailored to group interests and typically run about an hour, though the operator notes tours may be longer or shorter depending on the group.
