Everything about this factory tour was lovely. Gunner’s passion was evident in how thoroughly he answered questions. The small group made it possible for everyone to see everything very well, and the chocolate tasting with Eric afterward was terrific. This was an excellent activity on a rainy day.

This tour is an unsung treasure.
It didn’t show up on any “Best of” lists but it definitely should be.
The owner and founder- who is himself fascinating- does the tour personally and is incredibly knowledgeable.
Learning about and actually watching the process of making chocolate from bean to finished product was amazing and made the tasting at the end even more delicious.
Could not recommend this more strongly!

Our tour guide Gunnar is also the CEO of the company, he is passionate about his company so knowledgeable. He answered all questions, I highly recommend if you visit Maui take a tour of his chocolate company and buy his delicious chocolate.

This was an interesting experience. Our host was the CEO himself! He explained each process in the chocolate making and what makes Kuia chocolate so special. We loved the chocolate tasting but what made my day was tasting the sorbet made out of the white slime from the cacao beans! That was some fantastic stuff. I also appreciate their mission statement and what they do for the community

Fantastic experience. The CEO truly knew every aspect of his operation and had so much great information. The chocolate is superior and is even better knowing how it's made with so much care.

The factory tour was very detailed with a lot of great nuggets of information shared by the owner. There were several tasting opportunities and the chocolates was absolutely to die for, smooth, not bitter with amazing flavor.

Very in-depth tour of the facility and the entire process they go through to create the amazing chocolate treats, led by the owner! Excellent experience followed by a tasting session, to sample the wide selection of flavors. Tour price includes a $25 gift card so you can take some sweets with you!
