Hawaii is the only state where cacao is grown, and at our first stop, Waialua Sugar Mill, you will enjoy rare and aromatic Oahu-grown coffee and learn about the locally produced cacao made into a superb dark or milk chocolate.
Driving through the colorful art and surfing town of Haleiwa you will arrive at the lush and beautiful Waimea Valley. This enchanting location, also known as the "Valley of the Priests" and consisting of 1,875 scenic acres has been a sacred place for more than 700 years of native Hawaiian history. World famous botanical gardens containing over 5000 species of tropical and subtropical flowering plants, ancient archaeological sites, a Hawaiian Temple, and one of Oahu's most scenic waterfalls await you.
After stopping at the world-renowned surfing location of Banzai Pipeline we arrive at one of the North Shore's most famous shrimp stands where you will be served your choice of nine different sautéed shrimp plates, fresh lemon and steaming rice while your nature guide provides information about Hawaii's aquaculture efforts.
Traveling along the scenic and relaxing windward coast of Oahu we arrive at the exotic Macadamia Nut Farm where you can sample a delicious assortment of tropical grown treats.
Throughout your journey of discovery around the island of Oahu your nature guide will provide a fascinating narration about Hawaii's bird and plant species, geology, history and culture.
