Tucked away in Waiʻanae Valley on Oʻahu’s west side, Hi Honey Farm is a local treasure producing some of the island’s finest raw honey. This small, family-operated apiary offers visitors a unique opportunity to learn about beekeeping, taste honey straight from the hive, and explore how important pollinators are to Hawaiʻi’s natural ecosystem. For those looking to go beyond the beach and explore the flavors of the island from a more grounded perspective, Hi Honey Farm is a sweet and worthwhile stop.
Hi Honey Farm specializes in raw, unfiltered honey made from local nectar sources, giving each batch its own distinct color, flavor, and aroma. The bees forage on native flowers and tropical blooms, resulting in honeys that reflect the unique biodiversity of Waiʻanae. Guests are often surprised by how much honey can vary depending on the season, the floral source, and even the location of the hive.
Visitors can sample and purchase several varieties of honey on site, including rare infusions like lehua blossom or wildflower honey. Small-batch body products made with beeswax—such as lip balm and lotion bars—are also available, along with other bee-friendly goods. The team at Hi Honey Farm is friendly and welcoming, offering insight into the daily care of bees and the vital role they play in both agriculture and environmental health.
Depending on the day, visitors may also get to view an active hive or learn about the honey harvesting process. These informal educational moments give travelers a closer look at the world of bees in a relaxed, down-to-earth setting. Hi Honey Farm also participates in local farmers markets and community events, making it easy to support them even if you’re just passing through.
Located a short drive inland from Mākaha and the west side’s coastal attractions, Hi Honey Farm is quiet, scenic, and infused with a genuine sense of care. It’s not a large tourist destination, but that’s part of its charm. For travelers seeking a taste of local life, sustainability, and handcrafted flavor, this family-run apiary offers something both sweet and meaningful.
