Welcome to Maui Farm Tours

Maui’s bookable farm tours are two very different visits. The Ku’ia Estate Cacao Farm Tour walks the orchard above Lahaina and finishes with a tasting of nine chocolates, in 90 minutes, at $95 per adult and $75 per child, ages 3 and up.

Upcountry, the Haleakala Creamery Farm to Spoon Goat Dairy Tour lets you meet, feed and milk the goats, in 90 minutes, at $65 per adult and $45 per child. For more of Maui’s food, read eating your way around Maui.

  • Hawaii is the only U.S. state where cacao is grown commercially.
  • Cacao grows best within about 20 degrees of the equator; Maui sits right at the edge of that band.
  • Chocolate starts as cacao beans that are fermented and dried before roasting.
  • Upcountry Maui on Haleakala's slopes is noticeably cooler than the coast.
  • Maui's volcanic soils support crops from cacao to coffee and pineapple.

Maui Farm Tours Travel Tips

Both farms are working farms. Closed-toe shoes handle mulch, grass and the odd muddy patch better than sandals.

The goat dairy is on the slopes of Haleakala, so it combines well with a Haleakala or upcountry day.

The cacao farm is above Lahaina, a short drive from Kaanapali, so it fits a West Maui day.

Farm tours are mostly outdoors. A hat, water and reef-safe sunscreen make the visit more comfortable.

The cacao tour ends with a tasting of nine chocolates. The goat dairy tour is hands-on: you meet, feed and milk the goats.

Yes. The cacao tour takes children aged 3 and up (no infants), and the goat dairy tour has a $45 child rate.

About 90 minutes each, so they fit easily into a day with other plans.

The route includes uneven mulched ground and about 24 broad stairs with a railing, and farm vehicles cannot take wheelchairs.
