Along the way, you’ll visit a 1,000-acre tropical farm for an interactive tree-to-chocolate adventure, learning the fascinating process of turning cacao into chocolate. The day also includes a stop at the iconic Rainbow Falls in Hilo, where you’ll marvel at the stunning 80-foot cascade surrounded by lush rainforest.
