My wife and I did the lunch and farm tour. Zach (Zack? Didn't ask spelling!) was amazing. Such an incredible passion for the farm. The lunch was amazing, and tour so informative. I'll never call the simple things plain and vanilla again!

Fantastic! My wife and I ate lunch and went on the tour and had a wonderful time. The food was delicious and Zachary was informative with a wit that was really enjoyable and a demeanor that was really kind. This truly was a highlight of our trip. If you are thinking about it, do it!

Recommended as Best of North Big Island Because: The Hawaiian Vanilla Company offers a refreshing tour and lunch on their farm, all about vanilla.
Ice cream, chocolate-chip cookies, coffee, cakes, shakes-these are the goodies where you expect to find vanilla beans or vanilla flavor. But what about lemonade, BBQ sauce, chutney, cornbread, maple syrup, jelly, or salad dressing? And would you expect to find a vanilla farm (the first and only commercial vanilla operation in the U.S.) in Hawaii? The Big Island continues to surprise me, and today the surprising secret ingredient is?.Vanilla! Don't miss the chance to have a vanilla experience on the Big Island. You can have a vanilla lunch complete with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for dessert, and then take a walking tour of the vanilla farm and learn how the Hawaiian Vanilla Company started raising this crop on the Big Island. Overall, a great way to spend an afternoon. And you won't go hungry!
