When was the last time you tasted something for the first time?

Add another first to your collection of Galapagos Safari experiences and taste the world’s first ever Galapagos chocolate bar.

Did you know that cacao comes originally from Ecuador? Using the oldest and rarest variety of native cacao bean, Ecuadorian chocolatier To’ak produces limited editions of single-origin, premium Ecuadorian dark chocolate bars. Through carefully curated, tree- to- bar process and patient aging, To’ak is elevating the making and tasting of chocolate to the level of fine wine and aged whisky. Such dedication to detail made them the perfect partners for Galapagos Safari Camp and our unique, first ever, Galapagos single origin chocolate bar.

Our Galapagos Chocolate Experience is a perfect activity to enjoy after a day of exploring the islands.

OVERVIEW

The Galapagos Chocolate Experience

The experience is divided into two parts: a tour of the cacao , followed by a tasting session.

The Cacao Plantation

The experience starts with a guided tour of our cacao plantation. You will learn about Ecuador’s rarest “cacao nacional” variety; how it made its way into the remote Galapagos islands, and eventually into our chocolate.

The Chocolate Tasting

Back at the lodge, you will sit down to sample several editions of To’ak’s bars as well as the world’s very first Galapagos chocolate, grown by Galapagos Safari Camp and crafted by To’ak. This is a limited edition and part of their Terroir collection.

Much like wine tasting, you will observe the colour of the chocolate, detect its aromas, appreciate the texture and allow your senses
to linger in this unusual and rewarding experience. It always surprises our guests how many characteristics and flavours they can detect in the chocolate, simply by being aware of their senses. It is a fascinating learning experience, highly recommended to
anyone who is curious about food, unusual ingredients and pioneering concepts.

Due to limited supply, we only offer our Galapagos chocolate bar to guests who participate in our To’ak Chocolate Tasting Experience.
