Lonely Planet review for Mauna Loa Macadamia-Nut Visitor Center
Some 'tourist traps' can be fun. Mauna Loa Macadamia-Nut Visitor Center provides a window on a working factory, where you can watch the humble mac nut as it moves along the assembly line from cracking to roasting to chocolate dipping and packaging. The gift shop, of course, has every variation ready for purchase, with tasters. The factory is well signed about 5 miles south of Hilo; the 3-mile access road dips through acres of macadamia trees.
