If you are looking for a truly unique, fun and educational experience during your Maui vacation, this is the place to be! At Punakea Coconut Farm tour, not only will you get to taste fresh, young coconuts, but you will learn what makes this seed is so special! On our recent trip to Maui to tour and inspect our Maui Villas, we had the opportunity to experience the Coconut Farm Tasting Tour at Punakea Palms. If you are considering an awesome local experience on the island book this tour ASAP! We can't wait to take our friends.We are Coco-NUTS for the Punakea Palms Coconut Farm Tour! They did a wonderful job of following safety protocols with Covid and the small group tour made it intimate and amazing! They also have a very cute gift shop and once the café fully opens will be the perfect spot to enjoy fresh coconut themed snacks and beverages among sweeping views of the ocean and the iconic coconut palms. We had the chance to walk the grounds and were able to enjoy all the coconuts our hearts (and stomachs) desired. We learned the process of making coconut milk and also tried mature coconut meat. Our guide, Kai, cracked open juvenile coconuts so we could drink fresh coconut water and enjoy the coconut meat before moving on to mature coconuts, highlighting the differences between the two. Our experience started with fresh coconut milk cold brew coffees and from there we walked the farm and eventually settled in to learn more about coconut life stages. Located in Lahaina this coconut farm tour was an awesome way to learn about the life of a coconut and explore more of Maui. Make sure that when you put the farm in your GPS, you actually put the physical address and don't just ask Google to take you there. The owner was also very understanding of the fact that we were almost 15 minutes late! Sorry, Heidi. Everything was safe, masks were worn, sanitizer was available and everyone was asked to use it between petting and feedings. I cannot say enough about how awesome the owner was! She read the girls stories and provided treats for the kids to feed the animals, as well as fruit treats and nice cold drinks for the kids. Yes, her farm is up a dirt road, and boy was it bumpy, haha! But so worth it.īTW, our little girl came home so dirty and tired and so so happy! :) One outfit down the drain, a ton of memories to take its place! We will definitely be back on our next trip. Its a real working farm, Heidi is a hardworking farm owner, and she does it all on her own. If you decide to judge this place on the few negative comments on this page, then you and your little ones are missing out on a great experience. Such a wonderful experience and so worth spending our afternoon there, for all the memories, photos and the good time the baby had! And all of them with the best names!Įvery one of her pets is very loved and you can tell how much she cares for them just by the way she introduces everyone and she has a great story about how the animals have come to be there. She introduced us to the whole farm :) :) Including some horses, mini horses, a donkey, some big old piggies, ducks and geese, all her bunnies and chickens, a whole herd of great goats, giant (and I mean giant) tortoises, turkeys.the list goes on. We got to meet her newest addition first, a baby goat!! He was so stinking cute, playful and affectionate! He loved the 2 toddlers that were a part of our group. This is a perfect outing for kids and parents, especially younger kiddos. It is an actual farm, up a dirt road overlooking the beautiful Ocean. The owner, Heidi was so welcoming, kind and such a good soul. ![]() We had such a great time at Maui animal farm! We took my granddaughter, who is 2 this month and it was perfect. ![]()
