Tropical Farms - Stop #2 on Oahu Half-Day Trip: Windward to North Shore

After grabbing some snacks from the Kaneohe Bakery, we still had some time before the place we wanted to go to for lunch opened, and we were going to stop at another park for the kids to play, but we ended up stopping at Tropical Farms.

Tropical Farms is a Macadamia Nut Outlet where they sell not only macadamia nuts, but LOTS and LOTS of local goods.


They also offer free samples of their Macadamia Nut Coffee (and I read that they have samples of their different Macadamia Nuts, but I didn't see any - although I didn't really look around too much).

Outside of the shop there is an area where you can crack open macadamia nuts using nothing but stones.

There are also a lot of chickens running around (they have a big sign near the macadamia nuts that says "Don't Feed the Chickens, but they need to make signs in different languages because many tourists from other countries kept feeding the chickens!).

I read Tropical Farms does offer a tour, but there didn't seem to be much to do other than crack open macadamia nuts and shop (shopping seems to be the big draw).


Regardless, it was a quick, fun stop along the way!
