We came in mid October, and the crunchy persimmons were in season. I came from Asia and tasted many kind of persimmons, but never had this kind before. They were green and yellowish on the outside, and crunchy and sweet in the inside. The texture is very comparable to a softer apple so it had a very satisfying crunch. The fruits were hand picked at peak ripeness, needless to say they were very delicious. My husband pre-ordered a three-pound bag (8 persimmons), fearing we wouldn't be able to finish more than that while we were on Maui. Now we know that's it was not a problem, we will purchase double next time. The owners were very friendly and let us walk around the property after our purchase. The farm was well kept and organized, with many persimmons and avocado trees bearing countless amounts of fruit. It was quite a peaceful setting to be in. Overall, we really liked the farm and the persimmons. We will return when we are back in Maui!

The pathways are beautifully designed, taking you through thriving groves of exotic tropical plants, vibrant orchids, towering protea, and delicate ferns that seem to whisper with every breeze. Everywhere you look there's color -- from the fiery blossoms of bromeliads to the soft pastels of hibiscus swaying in the gentle sun. Plant Variety: A staggering array of species from around the world, all thriving in Maui's perfect climate. Every corner felt like a new discovery. Peaceful Walkways: The trails are shaded and easy to stroll, with benches placed just right for enjoying quiet moments and taking Photo Worthy Everywhere: Whether you're into close-ups of blossoms or sweeping landscape shots, there are endless frames waiting to be captured. Relaxed, Unhurried Vibe: Unlike bigger attractions, this garden felt personal and un-touristy. It was easy to spend a couple of hours just soaking in the calm and beauty, watching butterflies flit between blooms. Overall, it wasn't just a visit -- it was a moment of peace in a hectic travel schedule. If you love nature, flowers, or just a beautiful place to slow down and breathe, this place deserves every one of its five stars.

The visitor center appeared fairly new and the grounds were immaculate. There are several native Hawaiian archaeological sites featured. The property backs up to the beautiful coastline. You continue on down the short drive from the visitor center, to the parking area (which has a few picnic tables), where the walking area begins. It's about 0.5 loop walking area. If you're looking for an ornate botanical garden with flowers, this isn't it. However, they do feature tons of native plants and trees and provide relevant historical and cultural info. I'd say overall it was worth the $18/person non-resident entry. Tucked away and underrated, if you're looking to get away from the crowds at the nearby national and state parks.

We got here at 9 when it first started and this place was packed. We couldn't even find parking nearby, so we parked up the street and took a walk down to the back park.

Then we sat under the tent and enjoyed the entertainment. Then the rain came it poured for a bit so many people came under the tent. It was a fun and exciting day. People are very friendly here.

This was my first visit to the Taro Fest but definitely not my last…read more It takes place at Hana Ball Park. Parking is challenging but not impossible. The event runs from 9a-5p. There's entertainment, arts & crafts, a sort of mini-trade show, and of course food! The main star of the show is the taro. They have demonstrations on how the plant is prepared in many ways for food. FOOD: Taro Seafood Chowder Similar to a squid luau dish. Lightly flavored with a coconut-based soup, luau leaves, chunks of taro, shredded chicken, potatoes and carrots. Needed more salt IMO. Pokē Balls Chunks of unsalted ahi pokē wrapped in a cake noodle and deep fried. Drizzled with a mild wasabi cream sauce (even I could handle it being a wasabi hater) and orange-colored cream sauce. Had it not been for the cream drizzles, it would've been flavorless. Maybe if the ahi was seasoned it would've tasted better. Or even use tako instead of ahi. A bit pricey at $10 for 2 balls. Apple Snails Similar to escargots, they're farmed from the taro patch. I was so excited to eat this again as I haven't eaten them in years. Again, the preparation was very light on flavor. I believe they sautéed them just in its natural broth because there was no flavor other than the snail and earthy taro patch flavor. It was delish but wish I had some garlic-shoyu mixture to dip them in. There are tons of other foods to try, but I like to try things I can't get everywhere. TIP: Bring an umbrella because Hana can bake you during the day, as well as some salt and shoyu as the sodium content at most food booths are very, very low.

It's very unfortunate for that party, but we were really lucky. They could have easily canceled the show but instead my family and I had a really lovely, special experience.

What I enjoyed most though was the learning about Polynesian culture without the Colonial Lens or corporate feel that hotel " luau's" often have.

We even tried twice to shoot for the middle time (eg, if "open" from 11 am - 3pm we'd try 1pm). We waited around once for 30 minutes, as did some others. We tried four times in four days and it was never open- even when the updated post on the front door said it would be. We also tried to call- no one was ever there. Doesn't take much to post a sign with correct hours (even if closed) or change the voicemail to update those very interested in learning about Hawaiian culture. Missed opportunity.
