What an amazing and unique experience! The Maui Dragon Fruit Farm is so much more than dragon fruit they grow a huge variety of tropical fruits like pineapple, papaya, lychee, bananas (others I'm forgetting), and even herbs they turn into tea. Our guide was incredibly sweet and knowledgeable, making the tour both fun and educational. One of the highlights was getting to pick a dragon fruit right off the plant and eat it in the field. It was absolutely delicious and so much fresher than what we get back home. Our guide explained it's because store-bought fruits are picked early for shipping, and you could really taste the difference. As wonderful as that was, the best part came at the end... sampling! We were given a generous plate of fresh fruit, four different teas, and even a couple of cookies. Everything was bursting with flavor and so refreshing. The farm is beautiful, the experience is one-of-a-kind, and the people make it extra special. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Maui; it's fun, educational, and absolutely delicious!
** TEA & FRUIT FARM TOUR REVIEW ** I stumbled across this place while looking for tea tours in Maui. They have a lot of different tour options, but I opted for the tea & fruit combo tour that was roughly 2 hours. I actually ended up booking that day because I wasn't sure about the weather. If you DO book it the day of, be sure to call in advance so they can get the tea ready for you. Our tour guide was Gaia and she was so knowledgeable about the farm. It ended up being just me and my husband, which was nice so we could ask all the questions we wanted. After walking around in the grounds, we were sat in a beautiful patio area for our fruit and tea tasting. I thought we would just get small cups but they gave us full on carafes for each of the different teas!! We got 4 hot teas and 1 cold tea ... in addition to a dragonfruit lemonade (I believe you get this with the fruit tasting too). On top of that, we were just expecting a couple pieces of fruit but they gave us a full spread, including multiple different varieties of dragonfruit. It was so cool getting to try all the different options. You do get to taste fruit on just the regular tour too, but from my understanding you don't get quite as much and it's not on a plate. I'm not one to waste tea, but there was no way my husband and I could finish it all in one sitting. Luckily, they gave us to go cups at the end for us to take home the teas. We enjoyed slowly finishing them throughout our trip. You can opt to do just the fruit tour OR the tea tour, but if you're a fan of tea and have the time, I recommend both. I was really impressed at how much tea and fruit we got. At the end of the tour, you have the option to buy some fresh tea in the gift shop.
Super fun and informative tour. Our tour guide Jacob was awesome. The fruit and the dragonfruit lemonade towards the end of the tour were delicious. Definitely would recommend to anyone visiting Maui to explore this place out to learn and experience about the Island's rich vegetation.
We came here and did it all. The fruit tour, zip lining and feeding alpacas! We checked in at the parking lot with Cameron our tour guide. It was a small group with only a pair joining my party of 3. Cameron shared cuts of the aloes that grew on site. My fav one was the one that smelled like chicken soup. He said that it helps with skin repair. I applied some on a deep cut on my finger. I kid you not, within two days, the cut was drying up and the dead skin peeled off revealing the fresh new skin. It was magical. We got introduced to all kinds of exotic fruits. We took exhilarating rides on the zip line and got to feed some alpacas. At the end the tour, we were served refreshing dragonfruit lemonade and a fruit platter. The entire staff was super friendly. We all had a wonderful time. This is a great way to spend a few hours, as it checked off a lot of the activities that we all wanted to do like spending money on local businesses, have a thrilling adventure, eat fruits that we don't get on the mainland, and spend time with animals.
The good: I booked a tour for $35/pp (toddlers/babies are free). Our tour guide was friendly, informative, and super nice. She took photos for all of us. You're told to wear sneakers or close toed shoes but I forgot to inform my group that so we wore sandals that ended up being fine on the tour. It was super interesting to see so many different tropical fruit trees and to learn about how they fruit or what species were invasive. I was very happy to see some soursop in my fruit platter though I'm unsure if they grow them there. The bad: I was hoping to taste some dragonfruit but we were given none because it wasn't in season. It would have been nice to get that disclaimer beforehand I guess. It wasn't a huge miss for me because my family also has dragonfruit plants at home in our backyard. Instead of fresh dragonfruit we got a dragonfruit lemonade but the quantity was super little (about a large shot glass for each person in my group). The fruit platter for a group of two people was the same as the one for our group of four. The special coconut they let us drink from was pretty bland and uninteresting. We also got one coconut for four adults while groups of two people also got one coconut. There was a lot of talk about banana plants but no banana related products in our tastings. We eat banana leaf flowers in my culture so even that would've been interesting for others to try. The interesting: The tour guides are volunteers. Some of them live on the grounds for free in exchange for their work. There are a couple of pet cats on the grounds. The owner is from China.
This place is pretty cool, but not a must-see. Pros: -beautiful view of Lanai -friendly and bubbly tour guide -interesting facts on the tour -fruit tasting at the end Cons: -the tour is only about an hour -the farm itself is very small so you don't get to walk too much in the hour -expensive for what you get -only one fruit box per party, NOT per adult or ticket
My parents and boyfriend and I went here on our first night on the island. We were pleasantly surprised by only having one other group on our fruit tour! The guide, Jacob, was so energetic and knowledgeable about everything on the farm. We also had a sunset dinner with amazing 3 course dinner, with salad, mahi mahi and acai sorbet for dessert. Jacob and his girlfriend Skylar were both so friendly and calm. We also stayed extra long and got a beautiful view of the night sky. You can tell they love their jobs and life on the island. This is a must visit for anyone (maybe not small kids.)
Really lovely folks volunteering to grow the fruits from their labor and give back to Maui who also give tours. Not a bad way to learn about the agriculture in Maui. Plenty of parking but sort of hard to find at first with the many long driveways in the area. Look for the sign outside! Also, it's a walking tour, don't forget to wear bug spray and good walking shoes. You are out in the relenting sun of Lahaina so come prepared. The staff was super friendly and did their best to know a lot of facts. However, this is the one area I'd say could improve. It would have been nice if they had a deeper knowledge of the history and agriculture of Maui. Eating the fresh fruit after the tour was amazing! So much fruit! Don't forget to tip your tour guides and thank them for the work they are doing. You can also purchase fresh smoothies after to enjoy on your drive back to town!
This was a very informative tour that was enjoyable and tasty :) Although it's called dragon fruit farm, they have many other fruits/plants there as well including aloe vera, pineapple, bananas, etc Our tour guide did an amazing job explaining all the vegetation that they are growing as well as gave a lot of good suggestion on how to be environmentally friendly. I definitely will be attempting to grow a pineapple once I get back :) On top of the tour, they gave us a lot of fruits to sample as well including a whole pineapple! Before coming here, I hated bananas and didn't realize there was many types including red banana and blue banana. Now I want to try those cause it's supposed to taste like ice cream!!! They also have zipline and hamster ball activity available. Price was very reasonable for the tour and I definitely would recommend checking this place out. It's a great family activity

We booked this tour at the last minute directly through their website, and it turned out to be a great experience for both the kids and the adults. Nick was friendly, knowledgeable, and did an excellent job teaching us about the tropical plants and fruits grown on the farm. We learned a lot and appreciated how informative and engaging the tour was. The tour ended with a tropical fruit tasting, and the fruit was incredibly fresh, juicy, and sweet. It was one of our favorite parts of the experience. Feeding the alpacas was also a lot of fun, and our kids absolutely loved it. The farm also has zip lines and giant inflatable bouncing balls, so there is plenty to keep families entertained. Definitely worth checking out. read more
This was a fun experience for the whole family. We booked the Alpaca and Tropical Fruit Tasting Combo Tour. Nick was our guide and he was fantastic. He started with some farm history and then he took us to see the alpacas. They were so cute and friendly. We all got to feed them and pet them. Next was the tour of the farm. He walked us through the many plants and fruits that grow on the property. For some we got to feel or taste them as he told interesting and funny stories. After our tour, he took us to a beautiful lookout with tables where we experienced a huge plate of tropical fruits and a glass of dragon fruit lemonade. It was all refreshing and delicious. This is a great experience and I highly recommend it. read more
Enjoyable little tour, definitely was longer than the advertised 1 hour tour more like 2 which was wonderful! Lots of cool fruits to see how they grow and the progression through different developmental stages. Was also wonderful to be able to eat all the fruits we got to see growing at the end. Definitely changed my opinion on some fruits that I now like because I've never had them at their peak ripeness. Our guide was super nice and had good energy. I did however feel like the farm was run by a lot of very young adults or ppl that felt like they didn't have a ton of experience there yet so kinda wasn't able to answer a decent amount of questions but it's ok we still enjoyed ourselves and them. read more

Pretty awesome experience learning about organic fruits grown on this farm. Keep in mind that dragon fruits are in season from May until November (I came in March, so it was during the off-season), but there are plenty of other spectacular fruits and plants grown on-site. There are also alpaca on their farm, and it was wonderful to be able to feed and interact with them on that part of the tour. There are also wonderful views of Lanai and Lahaina Town down below. read more
I went on the Tropical Fruit Tasting Tour with my family and partner on our vacation, and thought it was a cute, family-friendly excursion! We got to the farm about 15 minutes before our tour start time to check in and then met our tour guide. She said it would be a 45 minute tour but it ended up being more like 25 minutes. As we came in December, many fruits weren't in season (including dragonfruit) which is probably why there wasn't as much to show us, but our guide was knowledgeable and knew all the answers to our questions! I love supporting local businesses, so even though it was a somewhat shortened experience, I was happy to just be on the farm and enjoy the views. Best part was the food at the end! My group of 5 got a large container of fruit samples, one coconut, and some dragonfruit lemonade. We could've easily eaten 2 or 3 containers of the fruit, it was sooo good. I wish we could've purchased more fruit (we would've literally left with bags and bags of freshly picked fruit if we could) but was also very happy with the selection that we got, especially since they did give us some dragonfruit, and some parties are unable to depending on when they visit. At the front of the farm there's a nice gift shop with really cute items, as well as some food options. We got a papaya-mango-dragonfruit smoothie and a pineapple-orange-guava homemade popsicle - pricey ($8 for smoothie and $5 for popsicle) but both very sweet and delicious. They also have heartier items like smoothie bowls and avocado toast, and an assortment of drinks (kombucha, tea, coffee), so you can really fill up on some nice, organic, healthy foods while you're here! On the tour I also noted that they have a fun looking zipline which we did not make reservations for, but something to keep in mind if you want to maximize activities on your trip here! read more

We had the most amazing time at the fruit tour! Walked around and had the most knowledgeable guide who was so sweet, she knew so much about the property and all fruit! Will definitely be coming back to continue on with the fun! read more
Super beautiful farm. The tour was very educational and fun. Farm staff were very friendly and knowledgable. Getting to taste all the fruit at the end was awesome as well. Only thing I wasnt a fan of was sharing the coconut drink, I'd rather pay more to have my own. Loved the tour and 100% recommend! read more

I had high expectations for this tour, which unfortunately were not met. I'll start with the pros and get to the negatives after. Pros: The grounds of the farm is quite beautiful. There's plenty of ocean views, and it's cool seeing the different kinds of bananas, papayas, and dragonfruit growing on the property. The tour guide was also really nice and answered any and all question from the group, as well as offered to take pictures of the people in the tour, their energy was wonderful and welcoming. Cons: The name of the farm is Maui dragonfruit farm but there were hardly any to try. This wasn't disclosed when booking, and in addition, I ordered two tubs of jam to take home when booking weeks in advance, and they did not have them at the end of the tour (they did give me a refund for that though). I also was expecting to try fruit from the actual farm. We had 5 people in our party and we received a tray of lychee, pineapple, mango, and soursop. when I asked the tour guide if the fruit was grown on the farm, the only thing I was told was from the farm itself was the pineapple. The others were from other farms in the area. I was really hoping to try more dragonfruit, bananas, and some papaya, and at $35 per person, I was hoping this would be the case. I was happy to get to try some dragonfruit, but that was only after multiple people in the group were asking about them. I'm very happy our tour guides spent the time to look for some ripe fruit, as we are a bit early into the dragonfruit season. In conclusion, the farm itself is actually pretty nice, and the tour guides are vibrant and friendly, I would just like to try a bigger variety of fruits like papaya, bananas, and other varieties of dragonfruit. read more

Good tour with yummy samples at the end. We did the 1.5hr afternoon tour during Thanksgiving week. I recommend choosing a morning tour because it was really hot in the afternoon with no shade. I brought an umbrella which helped a little. Unfortunately we missed the harvest (summer to fall), and there were hardly any dragon fruits left to see. read more

This was a unique experience. We mistakenly booked the wrong dates, and the staff were super gracious in getting us in. The tour is run by the young people who run the farm. Our tour guide, lizzy, was sweet, knowledgeable and cleary very happy to be part of the farm. The walking tour is about an hour, and you'll learn quite a bit about local fruit (we also booked the tea tasting, so you learn of tea as well). The tour has wonderful views of the mountains and sea and at the end you're presented with a substantial plate of fruit grown on site. The tea tasting is definitely worth the add-on. The teas are created from both sourced and on-site plants. It sounds nerdy to say, "im going on an eco tour," but it was a great way to learn about the native land from people who live and work here. I highly recommend it! read more

Our guide did a really great job, she was patient with some in laws that came on the trip, went at a good pace and answered questions. Took off one star because there wasn't dragon fruit available and were only able to trek a small part of the farm. We're able to see a variety of plants though, which was interesting. Fresh fruit at the end of the tour and lemonade. read more

Our wonderful Opera singer, Savannah gave is an informative tour on the plants and fruit on the farm. we came in the summer months and got to see the dragon fruit growing. The tour is one of the ways the farm is rebuilding after a fire. The fruit at the end of the tour was delicious and we tried a few kinds we have never tried before. It was great. read more

We had an amazing time! My review is for the ball and fruit tour. I booked the ball for my two sons, 18 & 14. They loved it! You get to go down the big hill twice and they said it was their favorite thing we did on our trip. And trust me we do a bunch of cool stuff. The fruit tour was interesting, we requested a quick version because it was quite hot, and we learned a lot about the farm and the local fruit. You also get fruit to taste! The views are also amazing, we stay in kihei and it is worth the drive to Lahaina. Go into the little shack by the parking lot for jam to go! read more

Great tour today at this local dragon fruit farm with 3 teenagers. We learned a lot of fun facts while at the farm and tasted many wonderful fruit. We liked that it was a tour just for us and very low key. It felt like we just visited with some friends. We asked many questions and took lots of cool photos. Wonderful and warm people.

Is there an age limit? My family and I would like to visit but are wondering if we are able to take a 6 month old and a 4 year old?
Is dragon fruit in season yet? Planning to take a tour on 6/14/19...
Yes! June through November. :)
Can we buy dragons fruits from here? Or is it more of a guided tourist attraction only?
Its a guided tour, very enjoyable. If dragon fruit is in season, you can buy them.
Do you have to book ahead, or can you just show up and pay to go on the tour?
We recommend that you make reservations for the tours in advance. That way we know you and your group are coming and have everything ready when you arrive. However, if you do just show up and we have room to include your group on the tour, we are…
