Thousands of acres throughout, the number of farms reaching far beyond the hundreds. Some are managed by large corporations while smaller crops are run by family-owned businesses. Like this one, located on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Āhualoa Family Farms. Where you won't find just one farm associated with this local small business, because their macadamia nuts and coffee are harvested in multiple locations on the Hāmākua Coast. Born and raised on the Big Island of Hawai'i, I'm familiar with how vast this area can encompass. A beautiful, scenic 40+ mile coastline stretch with high cliffs, it was the way to Waimea, Waikōloa and Kona while growing up. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I've garnered a high appreciation for Hawaiian macadamia nuts after my high school band fundraiser required us to harvest them by hand. It's a product I gravitate towards in our local grocery stores, a menu item I'll order if featured as an ingredient. I'll make a point to visit their vendor table at community events. That's how I found Āhualoa Family Farms. First in 2025 at the 32nd annual Hawai'i Arts, Crafts & Food Festival at Nani Mau Gardens. Then in 2026 at the same location during the Merrie Monarch Festival once again. Also at the 2026 official Merrie Monarch Invitational Hawaiian Arts & Craft Fair. Products visually presented lured me towards this vendor, the featured item had a stronger grasp on me. 100% Hawaiian macadamia nuts. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "SEA SALT - Roasted Macadamia Nuts" An indulgent crunch, each nut with roasted richness. I found the flavor profile simple with a light dusting of fine sea salt. Enough to enhance without overshadowing the butteriness of each Hawaii-grown macadamia nut morsel. It was so divine, I actually returned two days later to purchase more. The freshness of the nuts harvested in small amounts, then roasted in macadamia nut oil makes all the difference in taste and texture. "COFFEE LIQUEUR - Roasted Macadamia Nuts" With eight options to choose from, this one caught my eye. Caramelized crunchy exterior with a buttery center. Their unique macadamia nut flavor and texture is ever so present, as coffee and chocolate notes come through in a subtle way. From Āhualoa Family Farms Hāmākua dark roast coffee, Kahlùa liqueur and natural sugar cane. Harmonious. It made a perfect dessert treat on many nights for me. "MAC BUTTER - Honey Macadamia Nut Spread" A quick stir after opening, the result, decadent and creamy, smooth with a slight thickness. Finely ground Hawaiian macadamia nuts are found in each bite when placed on crackers or toast. A must try like I did, a spoonful just solo. Delicate sweetness from honey brings forward toffee-like aftertones. Luxurious. "VINAIGRETTE - Lemon Macadamia Nut" Balanced, blended and emulsified. A sharp citrus tang, I appreciated the flavor equilibrium of all elements showcased. Versatile as a dressing or marinade, I've only enjoyed this creamy, nutty and bright vinaigrette on my salads. A gourmet upgrade from olive oil, an indulgent taste featuring macadamia nuts from their Hāmākua farms on the Big Island of Hawai'i. A unique stand-out vs supermarket bought dressings. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Their ability to roast macadamia nuts in small batches gives Āhualoa Family Farms an advantage over larger corporations in Hawai'i who mass produce their macadamia nut products. The flavor profile of each nut, every unique item sold is crafted with care and precision. It shows in their packaging, more so, in the taste and texture alone. There's no comparison, exceptional freshness and quality. Āhualoa Family Farms. Tempting items, deliciously crafted. I hope to find them at future community events as a vendor. A visit to their main showroom in Honoka'a is already on my list. Taste the difference, proudly serving 100% Hawaiian macadamia nuts and Hāmākua-grown coffee.

We bought several items and were delighted with all of them. They have home brewed coffee and fresh juice drinks as well as some fresh snacks to go along with the wide assortment of mac nuts.

So fortunate that I get to attend this year's Waimea Cherry Blossom Heritage Festival. Luckily I…read moreplanned ahead and booked flights and rental car as soon as I found out date of event. I saved me some money vs the first year it was last minute. This makes it tge 32nd year for festival which was held early this year, Saturday February 1, 2025 from 9:00 am- 3:00 pm. I hope the event stays open 2 hours longer next year, I felt that 3 pm is too early, as it got closer I was trying to rush at the event to try to squeeze in as much as possible. This festival commemorates the blossoming Cherry Blossom ( Sakura) of the original 20 Japanese cherry blossom trees planted in 1972 by the Waimea Lions Club at Church Row Park and observes the Japanese tradition of Hanami viewing. This is my 3rd year attending the festival, I loved and enjoyed every moment. We arrived early , first flight to Hilo but also made a stop for breakfast and farmers market. Driving in to Waimea took a little longer due to traffic along the way, I noticed the festival was more crowded this year which is a good thing. There was traffic along the main road and looking for parking at Parker Ranch was a struggle. Happily we found a spot, after waiting a bit but yay. Stopped at the food court at Parker Ranch for bathroom break and off to enjoy the festivities, we had a nice picnic lunch while enjoying the entertainment. Did a little shopping, checked out some booth. I missed quite a few line up on the agenda but def. next year, I get here sharp at 9 am. & The question, was there blooms on the Cherry Blossom trees?!- YES. not all trees but there were enough blooms for all to enjoy. I love Cherry Blossom!! The littlest things in life brings me joy. Waimea Cherry Blossom Heritage Festival is such a great event for the Kamuela community, I can see this was enjoyed by all family, residents & visitors of all ages. I can't wait for next year! Check out the Festival, this is such an awesome event, see ya all next year!

The off-roading itself was so fun, and the views were unreal, but what really made the experience stand out were our guides, Jericho and Samson. At every stop, they shared stories that brought the history of Kohala to life. The way they told them was so vivid and engaging that it made each location meaningful, not just scenic. You could tell they genuinely care about what they do and about sharing the culture and history of the area. If you're looking for something fun, adventurous, and actually enriching, I can't recommend this tour enough. Huge thanks to Jericho and Samson for making it such a memorable experience! Mahalo

I brought my gf and my parents to this tour. The tour was just the four of us, so it felt very private and VIP haha. Jericho and Nathaniel were our tour guides. They were amazing, knowledgeable, friendly, and took so many pictures for all of us. They even stopped us at more viewpoints since we had time to spare as our group was just the four of us. The tour had everything. Whether you wanted to enjoy a scenic view, or a waterfall, or the chaos of a UTV drive. There was something to love for everyone. The drive was almost 2.5 hours I'd say, but I lost track of time as I didn't check my phone once. I just didn't want this adventure to end. Highly highly recommend. I've been ATV driving in Cabo San Lucas and in Taiwan. This is by far the best.

Recently we brought a few friends with us and wanted to do some touristy things that we had never tried before. We found the Giving Tour, and hands-down - this is the best trip we have had to date on this island ever! Sam and Dev live on the Island and are just absolutely wonderful human beings, extremely warm, reliable, knowledgeable at the about the island and the area and passionate about helping people and giving back to their beautiful island. Dev is a riot, there are no dull moments when she is around! Sam is a Jack of all trades who always has a fresh coconut on hand to crack open and share. We booked the farm lunch and tour and it was amazing! The farm is on a beautiful 20 acre property that will blow your mind. It filled with so many different kinds of fruits and vegetables and even animals! The spread we had for lunch was out of this world... We ate until we could barely move. The farm tour was awesome, Travis, the garden manager showed us the garden with all of his awesome medicinal plants and tasty veggies then we got the grand tour with so many exotic fruit trees to sample from and plants from around the world to marvel at. This is not a tour that you can pick out of any random guidebook. We became closer as friends, and made some awesome friends at the farm. This is an insiders look into life on the island, and I cannot recommend it enough! If you want a run-of-the-mill tour with long lines and manufactured entertainment, this is not the tour for you. This is a behind the scenes look at this beautiful island and culture. You will have tons of fun, meet amazing people, eat incredible food and have memories that will last a lifetime. We also did another tour the same week and it also surpassed my expectations. It's a great value for the money and Sam and Dev are the most amazing tour guides I've ever experienced anywhere in the world. Thank you Giving Tour for giving us this beautiful memory.

Wow...I hate to break the suspense...but to finish the tour with the view they have....well...like I said that's worth the trip. I'm always hunting for that insider's angle on the place I'm visiting. That spot where I can feel connected to how the locals are living and a sense of connection beyond what I can find at the next resort or airbnb. The Giving Tour was just that--and then some. I can't more highly recommend.
