Mountain Thunder Coffee Plantation

"Just awesome! Definitely worth a stop on your trip. I don’t drink coffee BUT tried the samples and thought that there were really good. They show you the factory and give the history and story of what they do here. REALLY INTERESTING!! You can see the coffee beans growing out back!!"

"We Chose to tour this location because of the greats reviews. We toured one other coffee plantation as part of a tour but this was still by far a better education into coffee processing than we grit at the other place. The tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable and by touring on a Sunday we were able to see all the machinery while not in use. Signed up for the twelve month coffee club because we loved it so much!"

"A very nice place to take a coffee tour and learn the process from plant to cup. A benefit of this location is it's accessibility as the terrain is flat and paved; the distance to walk is quite short (maybe 5-10 minutes). I appreciated seeing the 3 kinds of sorting machines (density, size, color), which I hadn't seen on previous coffee tours. My guide says it often rains in the afternoon so you may want to consider that in your timing."

"The Mountain Thunder Coffee Plantation offers free tours every 30 minutes. They also offer free coffee! We enjoyed the tour and learned a great deal about how they grow their organic coffee. They do offer a Nature Trail walking self guided tour for $10. Although we were tempted, it had just stopped raining and since the path looked pretty steep, we were concerned about slipping. Interestingly, before going on the trail you have to sign a waver that you won’t hold the plantation responsible if you hurt yourself! They have a great gift shop and a coffee club that might beca wonderful way of enjoying their coffee when you are no longer in Hawaii."

"SO, SO, SO WONDERFUL! Above and beyond five stars! Our tour guide was incredible, funny, and informative. They gave us samples of coffee and coffee beans, as well as free fruit. The views were gorgeous, and it was a whole different mysterious atmosphere; such a change from the sunny beaches! A massive highlight of Hawaii. You need to include this in your Hawaii experience!!"
