Oahu - Macadamia Nut Factory

Hi,
I have read about a Macadamia Nut Factory tour on Oahu. I can't find the name of the Factory. Does anyone have any information about this? The name and location would be great.
Thanks

It's probably Mauna Loa or Hawaiian Host. This shows my old age creeping up on me....I just saw the factory on the news recently mixing up chocolate, and I can't remember which one it was!

Mauna Loa has one on the Big Island near Hilo that has tours. Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Factory Tour. They also have a factory on Oahu in Aiea fairly close to Aloha Stadium. I don't know if they have tours.
Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut
Phone (808)484-7930

Hawaiian Host does not have tours.

Another place is Menehune Mac Candies.
This one is located about 1/2 way between the airport and downtown Honolulu. They may have tours. Phone (808) 842-3344

On Oahu, there is one called the Macadamia Nut Farm...great place...lots of samples of nuts and fruits..tours of the grounds....

It is somewhere at the beginning of the North Shore Drive..as soon as I can remember where it was, I will post it.

If you have the Oahu Revealed book, it tells you where it is.



Worth a stop....great place.

iceeu2 - Is this the one your thinking of?

Kualoa Ranch Tropical Farms
Macadamia Nut Farm Outlet
Kamehamea highway
Kaaawa, Hawaii

If so, it is nearby to Kualoa Ranch, Kualoa Park and Chinaman's Hat.

I don't think they have tours, but it is a nice stop to buy some nuts or fruit (kiwi, starfruit, guava) to sample.

It is on Kamehameha Hwy on the Windward side. If you are heading towards the Polynesian Cultural Center it is just before you get to Kualoa Ranch(which is on the left). The Farm in on the right. If you get to the park where Chinaman's hat is you have gone too far. Actually if you get to Kualoa Ranch Visitor's Center you have gone too far. Have fun!!
