Dive into the flavors of windward Oahu at the beloved Kailua Farmers Market, sampling rare Hawaiian fruit, local honey, poi, and artisan goods — then extend into Kailua's celebrated food scene with stops at Mānoa Chocolate and local legends.
What to expect
The Kailua Farmers Market (Thursdays at Kailua Town Center) buzzes with local farmers, beekeepers, and artisan food producers. Your guide introduces you to vendors by name, explains the cultural significance of traditional Hawaiian staples, and selects tasting plates that tell a story. From the market, the tour moves to Mānoa Chocolate's boutique — where single-origin Hawaiian cacao is processed and tasted — and then to one of Kailua's celebrated breakfast spots such as Over Easy for farm-to-table local cuisine. A final stroll through Kailua town's boutique streets rounds out the morning.
Good to know
Market runs Thursdays 8 AM–noon; confirm your port day aligns. Easily completed in 3–4 hours. Kailua town is a 10-minute rideshare from the pier. Pre-book the private guide to secure the best vendor introductions.
