Set off on an unforgettable lakeside journey that takes you right into the heart of Rwanda’s coffee-making tradition. Cruising across the calm waters of Lake Kivu, you'll arrive at Nyamirundi Island, home to thriving coffee farms and welcoming local growers.

This immersive experience gives you a front-row seat to every stage of coffee production — from the soil to your cup.

What to Expect:

• Scenic Boat Ride:
  Begin your tour with a tranquil boat trip offering panoramic views of the lake and surrounding hills.
• Explore Coffee Plantations:
  Visit small-scale farms run by local cooperatives. Learn how coffee is grown with care, using traditional and eco-friendly methods.
• Harvest Your Own Cherries:
  Get your hands dirty picking ripe coffee cherries straight from the tree, and see how farmers determine quality at the source.
• Behind the Scenes at the Washing Station:
  Tour a local washing station where you'll discover over 20 detailed steps — from pulping and fermenting to drying — that transform raw cherries into green coffee beans.
• Roast & Brew Your Own Coffee:
  Try your hand at roasting beans over a fire, then grind and brew them the Rwandan way. Sip your handcrafted cup with the farmers who made it all possible.

This tour is not just a lesson in coffee — it’s a cultural exchange that supports local livelihoods and deepens your appreciation for every bean. A perfect mix of education, scenery, and taste, this is Rwanda at its most flavorful.
