Reviews
We Chose to tour this location because of the greats reviews. We toured one other coffee plantation as part of a tour but this was still by far a better education into coffee processing than we grit at the other place. The tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable and by touring on a Sunday we were able to see all the machinery while not in use. Signed up for the twelve month coffee club because we loved it so much!
A very nice place to take a coffee tour and learn the process from plant to cup. A benefit of this location is it's accessibility as the terrain is flat and paved; the distance to walk is quite short (maybe 5-10 minutes). I appreciated seeing the 3 kinds of sorting machines (density, size, color), which I hadn't seen on previous coffee tours.
My guide says it often rains in the afternoon so you may want to consider that in your timing.
SO, SO, SO WONDERFUL! Above and beyond five stars! Our tour guide was incredible, funny, and informative. They gave us samples of coffee and coffee beans, as well as free fruit. The views were gorgeous, and it was a whole different mysterious atmosphere; such a change from the sunny beaches! A massive highlight of Hawaii. You need to include this in your Hawaii experience!!
The Mountain Thunder Coffee Plantation offers free tours every 30 minutes. They also offer free coffee! We enjoyed the tour and learned a great deal about how they grow their organic coffee. They do offer a Nature Trail walking self guided tour for $10. Although we were tempted, it had just stopped raining and since the path looked pretty steep, we were concerned about slipping. Interestingly, before going on the trail you have to sign a waver that you won’t hold the plantation responsible if you hurt yourself! They have a great gift shop and a coffee club that might beca wonderful way of enjoying their coffee when you are no longer in Hawaii.
Wow! What a fun and fascinating stop. The tour guide couldn’t have been any more excited to tell us all about the process, and it’s obvious they LOVE what they do. The shop has all manner of unique gift ideas, plus some major high quality locally produced (and environmentally/bird/trade friendly) coffee. And the extra nature trail is SO worth it! Make sure you take some time to visit this hidden gem!
Mountain Thunder is a beautiful farm. They have free Kona coffee sampling and tours every 30 minutes. There is a nature trail available for guests to enjoy. It is well maintained and has caves along the route. The path leads to a large porch/patio that overlooks the ocean-so serene!
A great way to get an introduction to coffee making and taste of local coffee. Free tour approx 20minutes which had a lot of information that even for us coffee drinkers did not know! We also paid to do an extra trail to see some better views and more of the coffee plantation. Highly recommend. Get there early as the free tours see a lot of people so can get a bit manic in parking and around the tour area.
9_7_2023 Christmas shopping time (Coffee beans/ground, soaps, candle, delicious cookies, candy, bags, stickers).The coffee tour is free and you can taste all their coffees for free. The atmosphere was perfect within the cloud forest, sun in morning and rain the the afternoon. The coffee tour was very educational and well worth the 15 minutes. The cat princess is a new family member and so beautiful.
