Upcountry Tropical Farm Tour

With 8 acres of lush gardens, the Enchanted Floral Gardens of Kula is home to over 2200 species of tropical as well as semi-tropical plants and flowers. As “Maui’s best kept secret”, the gardens are becoming a popular stop of Upcountry Maui. Enjoy a day surrounded by wild nature and the cool mountain air as you wander the looped trails!

Nestled on the island slopes, the Alii Kula Lavender Farm on Maui has become a favorite mountain sanctuary for locals and visitors alike! Wander the scenic gardens and take in the view of the island below as you enjoy the popular lavender scones paired with a cup of coffee you picked up at the gift shop. 

If you have been hoping to add a farm-to-table dining experience to your time here on the island, then O’o Farm is the stop that you have been looking for! With 8 acres of pristine land that has been sustainably maintained and naturally cultivated, the farm is committed to providing quality local produce to both Maui restaurants as well as their lunch tours.

Situated in lower Kula, the Surfing Goat Dairy represents one of only two goat dairies in the state and is an award-winning operation. Take a casual walking tour of the working dairy farm and get an up close look at the dairy goats in action! You might get the chance to hand-milk a goat and see how the famous cheeses are made.

Go exploring for the day in historic Makawao Town, the birth place of the Makawao Rodeo and the Paniolo Cowboy. Our driver will stand by at your direction or accompany your group as your personal tour guide. There’s lots to see, from a glass blowing studio, to unique shops and boutiques, saddled by some of Maui’s best hole-in-the-wall restaurants.

Just five minutes down the slopes of Haleakala from the pineapple fields, Paia Town (pronounced pie-EE-yah, unlike the Spanish seafood dish) is the epicenter of Maui’s North Shore. One glance at the people and the shops, you can sense the international flavor. Europeans and surf aficionados from around the world have long gathered there to surf Ho’okipa, world’s best windsurfing beach. Stop at any of Paia’s amazing restaurants, or visit Willie Nelson’s restaurant, Charlie’s, for a bite or a beer.

Perhaps you’ll want to drive down the coast to see the windsurfers and kite surfers in action skimming the surface of the waves like butterflies on shimmering glass, or head another 5 miles down the coast to Peahi get a witness the power of “Jaws” one of the world’s biggest waves.
