2.Farm-to-Table Chef’s Dinner at Kulaniapia Falls

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 42 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $249

Meet at 6:30 pm at Kulaniapia Falls for a small, al fresco chef’s dinner beside a private waterfall. Explore 42 acres of gardens and streams, then enjoy four tasting-menu courses made mostly with seasonal Hawaiian ingredients. An optional wine pairing is available for an extra fee.

“Chef Rachel made an excellent 5 course meal. I never truly understood what flavor profile meant until we experienced her dining creations. It was truly a unique setting with a waterfall in the background. I don’t know if the waterfall or the meal were the stars of the show. Walk the grounds and see the beauty and then be pampered with a meal fit for a celebrity. Great experience!”

Press the intercom button with her name located on the right hand side, push the door open when you hear the click and go to first floor. An amazing night awaits you”
