10 Farms in Maui That You Shouldn't Miss
The Hawaiian island of Maui is a destination for true nature lovers. The ethereal bamboo forest and churning waterfalls in Haleakala National Park can be explored via the Waimoku Falls Trail. Stretch out on warm, golden sands or hit the surf for an unforgettable windsurfing or snorkeling session. Driving the scenic road to Hana along the island’s northeastern shore will be among the most spectacular journeys of your life. Time stands still at the Hawaiian village of Keanae, definitely worth a visit.

Reservations are required. $40 per person tax-deductible donation (for adults and kids). Minimum age for visitors is seven years old. Home to goats, turkeys, rabbits, donkeys, cats, geese, pigs, tortoises, guinea pigs, ducks, deer, chickens, a cow and a dog, Leilani Farm Sanctuary is located on a lush 8-acre farm in Haiku, Maui. It is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization created to provide shelter and care for rescued animals, and humane education to the community. On the outer, most visible level, Leilani Farm Sanctuary lives and breathes upon a unique piece of rolling land, eight volcanic acres on a green Pacific island. But its superb location and jaw-dropping natural beauty are but reflections of its lush inner essence. The sanctuary is truly a paradise for animals and humans alike.

Amazing! Reordering will be a must! I ordered on-line for my mom's birthday. They arrived perfectly packaged and on perfectly on time! We just can't believe how unique and gorgeous this arrangement is! Mom loves all the greenery and can't stop looking at this arrangement! She did get other flowers for her birthday and these proteas make them look so boringly average, even though they are very pretty on their own. I did my research on other protea sites but this one kept standing out. This large arrangement was also very reasonably priced, especially compared to other sites. You can stop looking and once you've found No Ka Oi Protea Farm!

We had such a great time at Maui animal farm! We took my granddaughter, who is 2 this month and it was perfect. The owner, Heidi was so welcoming, kind and such a good soul. It is an actual farm, up a dirt road overlooking the beautiful Ocean. This is a perfect outing for kids and parents, especially younger kiddos. We got to meet her newest addition first, a baby goat!! He was so stinking cute, playful and affectionate! He loved the 2 toddlers that were a part of our group. She introduced us to the whole farm :) :) Including some horses, mini horses, a donkey, some big old piggies, ducks and geese, all her bunnies and chickens, a whole herd of great goats, giant (and I mean giant) tortoises, turkeys...the list goes on. And all of them with the best names! Every one of her pets is very loved and you can tell how much she cares for them just by the way she introduces everyone and she has a great story about how the animals have come to be there. Such a wonderful experience and so worth spending our afternoon there, for all the memories, photos and the good time the baby had! If you decide to judge this place on the few negative comments on this page, then you and your little ones are missing out on a great experience. Its a real working farm, Heidi is a hardworking farm owner, and she does it all on her own. Yes, her farm is up a dirt road, and boy was it bumpy, haha! But so worth it. BTW, our little girl came home so dirty and tired and so so happy! :) One outfit down the drain, a ton of memories to take its place! We will definitely be back on our next trip. I cannot say enough about how awesome the owner was! She read the girls stories and provided treats for the kids to feed the animals, as well as fruit treats and nice cold drinks for the kids. Everything was safe, masks were worn, sanitizer was available and everyone was asked to use it between petting and feedings. The owner was also very understanding of the fact that we were almost 15 minutes late! Sorry, Heidi. Make sure that when you put the farm in your GPS, you actually put the physical address and don't just ask Google to take you there.

Located in Lahaina this coconut farm tour was an awesome way to learn about the life of a coconut and explore more of Maui. Our experience started with fresh coconut milk cold brew coffees and from there we walked the farm and eventually settled in to learn more about coconut life stages. Our guide, Kai, cracked open juvenile coconuts so we could drink fresh coconut water and enjoy the coconut meat before moving on to mature coconuts, highlighting the differences between the two. We learned the process of making coconut milk and also tried mature coconut meat. We had the chance to walk the grounds and were able to enjoy all the coconuts our hearts (and stomachs) desired. They did a wonderful job of following safety protocols with Covid and the small group tour made it intimate and amazing! They also have a very cute gift shop and once the café fully opens will be the perfect spot to enjoy fresh coconut themed snacks and beverages among sweeping views of the ocean and the iconic coconut palms. If you are considering an awesome local experience on the island book this tour ASAP! We can't wait to take our friends.

Who knew a coconut was such a magical, sustainable fruit? We learned so much about coconuts on this tour. Everyone had an awesome experience (2, 4, 6, 38, 39 years old - fun for all ages!) It was great to explore a new area of Maui. Ryan's farm is so beautiful and he has such a great story. We all enjoyed tasting the different ages of coconut, learning how to make coconut noodles and milk and eating out of coconut husk bowls. Highly recommend!
