Hawaii Banana Source Farm Tour — O'ahu

Most people have only ever tasted one kind of banana. At Hawaii Banana Source, we grow dozens — rare, heirloom, and hard-to-find varieties that tell the deeper story of one of the world’s most ancient fruits.

This guided farm tour takes you through our O’ahu property where you’ll see rare cultivars up close, learn how we grow and care for them, and understand why banana biodiversity matters more than most people realize.

This is a real working farm. A real story. A real education — straight from the source.

What’s Included:

∙ Guided walk through rare and heirloom banana cultivars

∙ Expert narration on banana history, diversity, and cultivation

∙ Banana tasting experience

∙ Open farm environment — bring your camera!
