This 1.5-hour guided walking tour takes you through a lush 1.5-acre vanilla plantation where you learn about vanilla cultivation, pollination, and curing. The tour begins with a meet and greet featuring a welcome beverage, followed by a 60-minute walk beneath shade structures supporting over 200 vanilla orchids climbing custom trellis systems.

Educational and Gourmet Highlights

Your knowledgeable guide explains the delicate hand-pollination process that occurs just one day per year and why vanilla is one of the most labor-intensive crops. The tour concludes with a gourmet tasting on the covered patio, featuring desserts made with farm-grown vanilla and fresh lilikoi (passion fruit) samples from the weekly harvest.
