We appreciate our wonderful customers and want to share with you what they're saying about Hula Daddy Kona Coffee.
Looked up coffee plantations during our first trip to the Big Island, and Hula Daddy was among the top options. Being located close to the airport, we decided to make this our 2nd detour stop on the way to our hotel. The place is high up on the slope of Mauna Loa, so a fairly steep drive up. There is an interesting looking (and also poisonous) tree out front to help it stand out. It's pretty bare bones inside but they have a nice deck.The tour itself was informative. I'd never been on a coffee tour before, so it was maybe more valuable to me than others. At the end of the tour, everyone got chocolate covered coffee beans to try. Bought a bag of those to take home. Wanted to buy other coffee, however they were out of almost everything and seemingly weren't willing to sell some things; liked what they had in the store well enough but found that weird.Would probably expand my horizons to other coffee plantations first, however this was definitely fun.
Such a fun, detailed, and informative coffee tour! I admit, my visit was pre-COVID times and I'm just getting around to reviewing. The views of the coast and ocean and gorgeous and the coffee is incredibly toasty, full-bodied, and not at all bitter or too acidic. Freshly roasted and extremely high quality. We left with two bags of coffee beans and a bag of chocolate covered espresso beans. Worth the visit. Pricey beans, but also worth it.
We enjoyed our impromptu tour here as the entire staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable but also realize this won't be for everyone. The main reason is the tour costs $15 per person and the coffee is expensive ($60+ per pound).All of this to say I understand it, and we even bought some coffee - BUT, you can get a free tour at most coffee farms and learn the same, if not more, information on the growing process.So consider this the high end, or maybe highest end, that you will see in Kona and your expectations will be met.
Excellent tour; astoundingly delicious coffee!! Very reasonably priced tour. This is a tiny operation, and they do a great job of showing the process of growing, harvesting, and roasting top-quality Kona coffee.
Not the best coffee tour, but very good coffee. A relatively inexpensive tour to taste a bunch of different coffees and see a coffee plantation. Our guide was the most relaxed and low-energy coffee-love I've ever seen, but he was pretty knowledgeable and walked us through the plantation a bit and through the coffee growing and making process. We tried a couple types of coffee in the main room of the nice house the roastery is in that were available to the public, but we also got to try a couple fancier coffees from being on the tour. The coffee to purchase was pretty pricey but it was tasty and clearly high quality.
I booked this tour because it was rated #2 on Yelp (#1 had a religious theme which was definitely not for me). We arrived early and enjoyed some extra coffee and beautiful views. The tour was very informative and gave us a deeper explanation into how they produce such wonderful coffees. I wish I had the vision and ability like the owner, Jeff, to come to the Big Island and develop such a wonderful product. The coffees to buy at the end are a bit pricey, but the best you will ever have.
As a coffee addict and a first timer to the islands, I was excited to try the infamous Kona coffee. My honey and I got there a lil early and we were immediately greeted by Moni (hope I spelled it right). Moni and Laura made us feel right at home while sippin on the delicious coffee. Very relaxing to drink good coffee while catching an amazing ocean view. Moni took us on a tour and she gave us a great overview of the Kona coffee growing process and the Hula Daddy way! We had a great experience and hopefully be able to return again someday. Mahalo!
I am a complete coffee fanatic, I was over the moon to go to a coffee farm. Unfortunately it was raining but that's okay because no one was there. The coffee was delicious, the view was beautiful but I deducted a star because although the staff was nice they hardly said much. Maybe my expectations were different but I at least expected them to offer some history or explain how the whole process works.
I had a great time taking the tour. Hula Daddy makes my favorite coffee, so I looked forward to getting a feel for how they make it.Seeing the trees, and the berries on them, then watching Laura in action blending, and finally tasting the finished product was great!
Best coffee tour hands town. Also best coffee. You can only buy it online or at their farm. They make a artisan premium coffee with their focus of quality not quantity. The tour is by the owner and she is very passionate. It was a true educational experience.
Who knew coffee was so complicated? Went on this hour tour of a local Kona coffee grower. So interesting to find out about the process of getting coffee from the farm to the coffee pot. Tour was $15 but well worth the time and money. A kid friendly activity as well.
