Wonderful experience! It's a single, windy, paved road with a few potholes on the way up so take your time. Bring a jacket just in case. You will be outside the entire time. You'll walk around some coffee trees so tennis shoes and bug spray are helpful. Our guide was so sweet, nice and knowledgeable. She did a great job answering all our questions! I highly recommend this cupping (under a tent). It's laid back and a smaller group setting. Thank you!! ??❤️

Kate and her team are incredibly professional, timely and accommodating. She has done nothing but go above and beyond for her clients. The set up is always gorgeous and she has fantastic taste(especially when it comes to flowers!). You just can’t go wrong with them.

Our group of 6 had a great time visiting the farm and enjoying a coffee tasting experience! Lovely location, super informative, adorable goats= a perfect way to spend a morning.

Great and informative visit. We learned a lot and had a great time at the tasting. Dona was a great guide at the farm and for our cupping session. Tour doesn't go too far into the orchard, but that was just the right speed for our group. Also loved feeding the goats at the end. Most importantly, they have great coffee. Would recommend!

My husband and I are so lucky we hired Sunshower Weddings to help with our wedding planning and coordination. We were only a couple of months out when we decided it was time we needed help planning our wedding out in Kona, HI while we were busy with our lives in California. If only we knew about them ahead of time and all the stress it would have saved us, we definitely would have jumped on it sooner to book them! In the first conversation with the owner Kate, I knew off the bat she would be really organized and responsive with every and each need we had for the wedding. A very thorough job and questionnaire to understand what was needed and all the calls/check points on the way kept us on track. She definitely understood our vibes and what we were going for and the day went over so incredibly smoothly! Her team, Whitney and Allison ran the rehearsal dinner and helped on wedding day as well, we hadn't even met them until that point, but they were briefed in so well that it was super seamless. The attention to detail, the care in making sure nothing went awry, and the aloha they all had definitely made our day amazing! Not only is the team great, but they also have good connections on all the local vendors and helped us navigate the permitting during covid protocols. So grateful for their services and would definitely recommend them!
As the owner of Big Island Hawaii Makeup, I have worked with Kate at sunshower farms for many events and she's always such a pleasure to work with and so organized! She makes sure the day runs seamlessly and is so organized with all of the vendors! I would recommend her services to any bride looking to get married on the Big Island of Hawaii

My husband and I hired Kate to plan our Kona wedding, after having to cancel our first wedding in New Zealand. After postponing twice and we decided to ultimately hold the wedding in October 2021. Kate was there to support us every step of the way, helping us with securing all the best vendors and handling the communication with them. She has lots of great connections in Kona and has a considerable amount of insight on vendors, locations, etc.I loved how real she kept things (if I had an idea that was not good or not within our budget, she would tell me.) She had to be super creative with our wedding, as there were CONSTANT changes from the state and county due to the ever-changing covid restrictions. She was basically on call through it all and was there for me anytime we would have to pivot our plans. Not only did she keep me calm and focused through it all, she also remained positive through all the stress and remained extremely helpful every step of the way. I don't know how I would've made it through pandemic wedding planning without her. She truly was a saving grace and the best decision that I made for our wedding.On the wedding day itself, Kate went above and beyond. Throughout the rehearsal, ceremony, and reception, Kate was somehow everywhere at once, making sure everything went smoothly. She had every detail organized and was flexible with any last minute changes and truly made the entire day go by so efficiently. We had an amazing wedding day and Kate was a huge and integral part of the reason why. I do not envy her job at all (especially during the pandemic and navigating all the changes that come with it) but I am so glad that she is a wedding coordinator, because she absolutely KILLS it at her job.I cannot recommend her wedding planning services enough and I’m looking for future party excuses just so I can book her again. She will hands down be one of the best choices you can make for having the absolute best day ever!Also, the coffee from here is fabulous! I am born and raised on Big Island and this is some of the best Kona coffee I have ever had. We had coffee bags as the favor for our guests and multiple people told me how much they enjoyed it. Will definitely be ordering more in the near future!

Spending time at this farm is such a privilege. I can't recommend it enough if you are looking for Kona coffee to buy or a farm to visit for a tasting or tour. The farm is located right in the world famous Kona Coffee Belt and the ocean views are unreal! The Hickeys, who own the place, have really made it something special. Also, if you need an event planned on the Big Island, look no further than Kate Hickey of Sunshower Farms. She is a master wedding and event coordinator and you will not regret working with her.

Had a coffee tour and tasting and to be completely honest, was left searching for more. More depth. More finesse. I understand it's a working farm, but the grounds weren't kept for "tours". While I appreciated being taken out to see the trees, we didn't get to tour them or the grounds. We sat by a tree while facts were given to us, then back to the house for tasting. I would have liked to have seen how the beans get roasted, and explanation of their roasting process as well as what else they do on their farm. The tasting/"cupping" was a great experience which upped my initial 3 stars to 4. We purchased 3 bags of coffee which we will enjoy. Thank you for the unique experience.
