    Lavender
    Craig T.

    Where to start this place is unbelievable the view and the relaxing country vibe. Entrance fee is $5 although being Kamaaina it's only $2 what a deal . This Alii Kula Lavender farm is located in Kula approximately 25 mins from the airport. This farm is not only strictly Lavender they have all kinds of pretty flowers and trees . There's a nice little gift shop which they sell all kinds of merchandise from Lavender oils, lotions, bar soap, clothing, exfoliation soaps and more. Inside their Gift shop they also have a small cafe that they sell coffee, teas, scones, muffins and cheesecake. Normally I'm not a cheesecake person but this cheesecake also had a hint of lavender taste it was very good . The only downside to this review is that they only have porta potty . Other then that i highly recommend this stop if your visiting Maui. Support local

    Lovely view

    Beautiful views and a lot of different plants. I was surprised that the lavender farm really didn't have that much lavender. It is $5 a person to get in unless you are 65+. There is a lot of steep walking which may be difficult for many people. The bathrooms are just outhouses. They do have a small, cute gift shop with coffee but no espresso.

    If you are looking to do something away from the beach scene in Maui, I recommend coming here (could also be a nice addition if you visit Haleakalā National Park but note this place is only open Friday - Monday). Admission is $5 but $2 for over 65, military, and some others(?). We went toward the end of February but even though it wasn't lavender season, we still spent about two hours wandering the gardens, shopping in the gift shop, and enjoying tea and scones (with butter, honey, and jam). The flowers were beautiful! Note the elevation is 4000 feet and the property is steep so wear comfortable study shoes. Because of the elevation, it can also be cooler so bring a light jacket. There are plenty of benches sprinkled through should you want to rest

    I visited this place hoping to kill an hour but I ended up spending less than half an hour here because the field is so small. I walked the entire thing in 15 mins. The souvenir shop has nice treats though. Pros: +Only $5 for admission! Can't beat that. +Souvenir shop has tasty lavender scones+tea +Great view of the island since it's on top of a high hill Cons: -Small field -Very few lavender in sight

    For a sec I thought this was a real person!

    Well, it takes quite a long time to get here , but it's perfect for an 'on the way' stop-off while heading to Haleakala. tThe grounds are well-kept and quite nice and you'll find some unique and tropical flowers and plants. They set up several picturesque 'instagram' spots in various locations. The view of Maui is expansive and awesome. You don't realize you're at a high point on the island till you see this. The gift shop and coffee shop are a nice touch. All lavender stuff. Even scones and coffee. Pro tip: Arrive 15 min before closing and parking, coffee and tea are complimentary. There's a steep hill where the lavender patch is. It is very tiny. Much tinier than I expected since it's called lavender in the name! And a little Buddha or Tao statue. More picture time. I don't think it's a must-see attraction but certainly worth it if you're in or around the area. A generous four stars cuz many people love it.

    This was my second visit to the lavender farms, the grounds are not too large they have plants and a gift shop, the premises can be steep in various areas around the grounds so be aware and prepare to walk on uneven pavement. Admission is $5 per person, $2 for seniors, parking is free. We walked the grounds for about 30 minutes, visited the gift shop and were on our way. It's something to do and see at your own pace and leisure, but not as engaging as a guided farm tour like other options on the island.

    We went in December so it may not have been the season. The flowers that were in season were gorgeous. The lavender was a bit sparse. The gift shop smelled so good! Didn't have anything from their cafe but it was all lavender theme! They offer a military discount which was great.

    We got the lavender scone and lavender tea here and both were great! I personally don't love lavender tasting foods however my husband thought they were both great! He especially liked the lavender honey that they give you to add to both the tea and the scones. They were really quick with their service and had nice seating outdoor as well as toaster ovens to heat of the scones, which was really considerate and nice!

    A lavender themed gift shop with a per person paid entry fee and a cute garden. Although the view is gorgeous it feels a bit too much of a tourist honey pot. Oh and there is a small lavender field you can walk to.

    Beautiful views, local goods and delicious scones. Gardens were lovely. Wear walking shoes!

    Cute walk followed by a lavender scone ! Don't mind the views , which was breathtaking

    For my 500th review I was hoping to have a wonderful, over-the-top, out-of-this-world review. While the views at Ali'i Kula meet the standard, everything else is very nice but not really 5 star level. It's a nice drive from Kihei or Lahaina on a nice sunshiny day, and as I mentioned the views are phenomenal! But, the lavender, not native to Hawaii, is not really abundant. They farm several types that bloom at different times of the year. The fee to enter the grounds is $5 per person. For that you get some great views, you can traverse the grounds, which are beautiful, and you can buy assorted lavender sundries and souvenirs in their shop. Prices seem fair, but definitely don't come across as a great deal. Hearing other patrons talk about how good the scones were, we had to try them. They have a small deck outside the shop with toaster ovens as well as lavender honey and lavender-lillikoi jam to top your scones. We tried it all and did find all of it to be very good. We may return sometime, but I don't think it makes the list of "must do's" for future Maui trips.

    Beautiful, relaxing spot! The scent is incredible everywhere you walk. Although we came after lavender season, there was still much to do! Cute gift shop with hand made goods and lavender treats too. $5 entrance fee. Porta pottys available.

    No you do not but there is a fee to see the farm

    Are you open Christmas 2022 weekend?

    If I come in late September will this be a nice experience?

    Yes

    Are we allowed to take pictures throughout the entire tour, or are there certain areas/ events that are restricted from digital/ video cameras?

    You can take pictures everywhere as far as I know .

    When is lavender season and best time to visit?

    June and early july

    We are here at the end of June, is lavender in bloom, is it worth the trip?

    Lavender is always in bloom, definitely worth the trip. Take the cart tour, so worth it and you learn about the different types of lavender and all of our other indigenous plants.

    Are the guided tours required? or can we just walk around ourselves?

    The guided tour is not required. We just did our own walk. We did the scavenger hunt and that was fun.

    Are the flowers blooming at Ali'i Kula in November?

    Not sure. It was my first time visiting there in August.

    O'o Farms delivered a truly, unique and interactive experience with their Farm Tour and Farm to…read moreTable Lunch. I took my parents for their 44th Anniversary and we all love outdoorsy activities so I knew we'd all enjoy this! We were asked to arrive at 10:30 am for the tour and it lasted until 1-1:30 pm. Arrive with good walking shoes, SPF, light sweater and hat (it can get either a little chilly or hot from the direct sunlight), and well hydrated if possible. We were greeted by our friendly and knowledgeable tourguide, Kate from Maryland! She shared with us so many facts about the locally grown produce from herbs, vegetables, fruits, to the friendly worms, to compost and facts about the Farm and the hardworking staff! It was interactive because we got to sniff the herbs, taste the locally grown lettuce, carry a chicken (as seen in the photo with my mom), and even pick the Cherry coffee! After the 2 hour tour, the last hour takes you back to this beautiful seating area in a garden like setting for your 4 course lunch! Each course, the chef comes out and shares details of each course. First course was a Medley of Greens grown on the farm with Tangerine vinaigrette. It was a generous portion for our party of 3 and tried to eat it throughout. There was spiraled carrots and radish with julienned snap peas. Second course was Pan Seared Ono (their proteins are all locally sourced) with Mamaki Tea and Lemongrass Rice with Bok Choy, Collared Greens and Cabbage. Third course was my favorite! I'm usually a big fan of fish but the chicken was so savory and that rub was delish! It was an Organic, Cage Free Chicken with Coffee Cherry Citrus rub with Caramelized Coffee Honey Hash of Carrots, Parsnips, Rutabaga and Celery Root. The spread was a Turmeric and Parsnip puree. Last course of dessert was the O'o Freshly Brewed Coffee with Milk and Simple Syrup with a Dessert Platter of Fresh sliced Pineapple, Tangerine and Apple with Homemade Chocolate Truffles. The meal left us full and nourished! What a wonderful anniversary gift to give my parents. We truly enjoyed it and even made some new friends, both local and visiting.

    The best meal that I had in Maui! Everything was fresh and I loved knowing exactly where our food…read morecame from. My son enjoyed the mahi mahi tremendously, which for a kiddo who only eats chicken normally, is a huge compliment! I thought the tour was very informative and interactive as well. Our guide Molly let us pick, smell, and explore a lot of the plants they have growing on the grounds. She also very nicely picked a tangerine for my son because he really wanted one. Overall, worthwhile experience, despite the long drive from Lahaina. I would do this again, whether it is the brunch + coffee tour or the lunch tour!
