My daughter was especially fond of the rabbits and again, Heidi was so hospitable giving her some extra time with them. Just to show how much my 7 year old enjoyed it - as a 2nd grader a year after visiting my daughter wrote about her Hawaii trip for a class project. She recalled Heidi by name as the owner of an "amazing farm" she visited. Left a lasting fantastic memory and finally gave me the push to do a write-up to share our wonderful experience. Cannot recommend enough!

She was so excited as she had never seen an alpaca in real life before, and suddenly she was hands on feeding babies and moms!! She was soooo excited! So, many thanks to Padma who made our experience so special, and Sassy Girl, Lola and the other alpaca friends we made, and Snow White the bunny and her fluffy pals too. Padma showed us how to refine the fleece and spin it and we had a go at carding too, and she answered all my questions with ease. It was fascinating to find out more about alpaca....did you know they only give birth during the day, usually in the morning ? Easy to book online, especially with Kamaaina rates being honored, easy to find even though you are venturing into someone's driveway, park and walk a few steps to the alpaca so good for children and elderly/disabled, a small gift shop selling beautiful gifts is right there, compact, cute and incredibly fun. Perfect birthday present for a 10 yr old girl ;)

My fiancée and I shared a salad that was more than enough for both of us, and you could genuinely taste how fresh every ingredient was. And the pizza? Freshly baked, crispy, flavorful, and honestly to die for. The whole place has such a laid-back Maui vibe that makes you want to slow down and enjoy every bite. Already counting down the days until we can visit again.

It is definitely by far the best banana bread I have ever had in my entire life. husband is a major fan of banana desserts and he actually said the same thing ! The banana bread was melt in your mouth soft even when we had it later in the day. The chocolate chips were so well distributed and everything was so good. We had a hard time stopping and actually ended up finishing that whole loaf among the two of us. Regarding that pizza - I went to use the restroom while we made a stop here and the pizza smells so phenomenal! There was also quite a. Crowd and a lot of tables were occupied even on a Sunday afternoon. So clearly this place is good!

This is more of a Hawaiian coconut tasting & history lesson than a farm tour LOL. But still highly…read morerecommend, we had a great experience learning from the wonderfully knowledgeable Punakea Palms team and snacking along the way. Not much walking-- the most is from the entrance/cafe area to the field with an outlook, where you learn about how the Dole family rekt Lanai's natural environment to farm pineapples (kinda evil). Frankly, the history behind mass agriculture and farming is pretty bleak-- you can't help but feel a sense of injustice for the native Hawaiians. Our tour guide was thorough, objective, while empathetic. From thereafter, you're sitting under an overhang while listening to your tour guide explain the stages of coconut growth & trying the different pieces. We tried: - Coconut water - Coconut jelly - Coconut meat - Coconut shavings ... All from coconuts of varying ages, getting the chance to see how each tastes different from the other. Kai even popped by with a surprise: fresh palm hearts! My bf and I frequently use canned ones for salads-- the raw flavor blew our minds. The entire "tour" took around 1.5 hours. The cafe in front is charming, lovely drink & food offerings alongside a gift shop. You can tell that the staff here actually care about the history of Hawaii and respect the island.

It is really sad that Hawaii, which has an abundance of coconuts, gets coconuts flown in from Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines because the labor is cheaper there. Jeremy was the highlight of the tour teaching us so much about the benefits of coconuts. We tried young coconut water to more mature coconut water. We got to taste coconut meat and shavings of coconuts (it was a great moisturizer for the skin too) I'd highly recommend this tour and the cafe! Cute little place. Please go out and support this local gem!

Highly recommend as a unique way to see Up Country!

Best thing to do in Maui & Lahaina, Hands-down! *. *. *…read moreWe had the most amazing time at Lahaina Goat Yoga. We had a group of 6 friends & were looking for a cool new Lahaina activity to do that's not in or on the water (we were so beyond water-logged at that point) & I'm so glad we found this place & decided to try something new & different. We originally found another Goat Yoga place thinking it was in Lahaina (due to the way the Ad read) so please don't be fooled! Luckily, we learned in time that it's nowhere near Lahaina & was all the way on the other side of the island--over an hour away from our hotel in Lahaina! We definitely did not want to drive that far, so we were thrilled when we found the real Lahaina Goat Yoga location, that is actually "in Lahaina." What a concept. The Maui Gods were watching over us that day because this ended up being such an amazing experience of a lifetime for our whole group, from beginning to end. The whole vibe there was awesome & u could feel the love as soon as you got there. Super chill, calming & Zen amongst the breathtaking natural Maui scenery. The peaceful beauty & Aloha spirit surrounds you on a beautiful quaint little farm right in the heart of Lahaina, overlooking the pristine turquoise ocean with the Emerald Green West Maui mountains as your backdrop. I didn't know what to expect with this & was admittedly kind of scared to do it at first. But, the goats were so cute & gentle & we laughed at their shenanigans so much until it hurt! We had the absolute BEST TIME! I'm so glad I booked this as it quickly became the highlight of our whole trip & definitely gave us the most laughs! Kim was such an amazing instructor too. Super bubbly & funny. She has a very kind, magnetic, warm personality & exudes a fun but calming, positive energy. I've had a lot of yoga teachers in the past, but she is extremely knowledgeable & knows her craft. She really connected with us all & was very helpful & patient with us as Newbies. We didn't want the fun to end so we stayed after for a while to talk, share stories, laugh some more & play with & feed all the cute goats. We even got to give the baby goats little bottles of milk! So, if you're looking for something new & exciting, that's adventurous & super fun, and leaves you feeling better than when you came in, sign up for a class the next time you're in Lahaina. You can't beat the price for an activity or excursion in that area & you will leave with a smile on your face, a renewed sense of self, a pep in your step & memories that will last a lifetime. My stomach still hurts from laughing so hard & this was such an amazing, fun experience. Thank you, Kim, Deb, Lahaina Goat Yoga & especially all my new little goat friends for sharing this experience & the true Aloha spirit with us. We will definitely be back for more laughs next year with new friends! Mahalo!

I highly recommend this as one of the best chocolate tours!…read moreWe took the two hour tour with our family - it was a nice small group of six in total. Mike was not only an expert in all things chocolate, but he is easy to understand, he takes time to teach you and answer any questions and he has a great personality! It was pouring down rain the day we went, yet the tour was still a great success. We started out at the farm and then concluded down at the shop. You get to taste fresh cacao, nibs, cacao tea and kakao brew - of course at the shop are the full chocolate bars. Mike clearly loves what he does and enjoys sharing that love with his customers. The only down side is that after listening to Mike you will be ruined forever on eating any other general retail chocolate. So long Hershey and friends!

He built his cacao farm from the bottom up and it was amazing to witness his progress ever since 2017. He walked us through the seed germination process, the growing process, the fermentation process and everything before, in between and after that.. from seed all the way to chocolate bar. This tour is meant to expand your knowledge and change your perspective on how you think about, taste, and experience chocolate. At the end of the farm tour, you drive down to the gift shop (about a 3 min drive from the farm) to make any potential purchases as well as taste even more chocolate! What an amazing and unique experience in Honaka'a and 100% recommend adding this tour to your Big Island itinerary. P.S. my favorite chocolate bar is the barrel aged bourbon bar!! Notes of dark cherry with a bourbon finish :)
