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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
We arrived at the lavender farm only 15 minutes before closing so everything we did was a bit rushed but we got to see a good amount of the place. We didn't pay an entry fee since we were so close to closing which was very nice of them to do. Parking was solid although I'm sure it gets busier earlier in the day. The farm is beautiful albeit very hilly so be prepared to put some muscle into walking. The views down the countryside are breathtaking and there are cute vistas and spots to take photos. The farm's store is a major highlight as they sell everything lavender based from candles and lotions to coffee and scones. They gave us the coffee for free which again was incredibly nice as they said they were going to dump it either way. This is a very cute pitstop on the way up to Haleakala if you have the time to visit.
Amazing. I've been coming here for years and the peace / relaxation / mana never changes! Tour the grounds which boasts lavender, protea, hibiscus and a handful of tropical flowers! The general store has a wide assortment of items to enhance your visit - beach towels, tshirts, sweaters, linen spray, coffee and teas, jellies and jams, scone mix and culinary lavenders. And a lot more! Store manager Kim is super knowledgeable and welcoming! Entry is $3 per person, $2 for kamaaina with valid ID

We love lavender and being able to visit a lavender farm sounded like a great idea! So glad we did. Upon arrival we were greeted by the very nice person in the booth. We paid and drove in and parked. There was no problem finding a spot. There wasn't a whole lot to see as far as the lavender growing or blooming, but we enjoyed what was available. We stopped in the market store and bought some organic lavender tea, brownies, and candy. I bought a sticker and my DIL also bought a couple of things to bring home for friends. There is seating with umbrellas which we enjoyed. It was another beautiful day in Maui. After the grandkids were finished, we went out to the large field. The adults enjoyed sitting in the grass and kiddos enjoyed rolling around in the soft grass. read more
After checking out of our hotel, we needed to kill some time before our red-eye flight out of Maui, so we decided to stop by Aliʻi Kula Lavender Farm. We had visited before in 2012 during lavender season, which was lovely, but coming in mid-January there really wasn't much to see. Admission is $5 per person, and there's a café and gift shop on-site for souvenirs. During our previous visit, we really enjoyed the lavender scone and iced tea from the café. The views at the top are still beautiful, but I'd honestly recommend visiting only when lavender is in season to make it worthwhile. Also worth noting: it's quite windy in this part of Maui, and the terrain is very steep, so walking around can be a bit challenging. read more

Tropical paradise found! Ali'i Kula Lavender farm is a must-visit destination. So much to see-lush fields of purple blooms, colorful gardens, and the panoramic views of the ocean and surrounding mountains created a breathtaking backdrop to this serene oasis. We spent hours soaking up the tranquility walking and taking in the moments. We even enjoyed a picnic amidst the beautiful scenery. This is the perfect destination to unwind and rejuvenate your soul. read more
If you love lavender, protea, plants and flowers - you'll fall in love with this place. There are different trails to take and so many different variety of beautiful flowers and greenery. It was raining when we went and the gift shop let us use their umbrellas (just had to leave a driver's license). It cost $3 pp to visit, and kama'āina price is $2 pp. After our walk, we went back into the gift shop to return the umbrellas and buy some lavender scones to go. If you love scones, these are such a treat. read more

My absolute favorite place in Maui. I always feel so peaceful and calm when I'm here. I especially recommend trying their homemade lavender cookie - it's so good and not too sweet! read more
Came here with my family during our trip to maui. The air was fresh and crisp. It was nice and cool. I was expecting a full hillside of lavender but it was just a small portion of it that actually had lavender. But nonetheless the experience was relaxing. The gift shop had a bunch of lavender products including food and beverages. There was also a garden that you can walk through and view various plant species. It's a nice relaxing spot to visit. Check em out! read more

Long overdue review of one of my favorite places to visit on Maui! I live on Oahu and I thank my friend and my manicurist (both Oahu-born and raised) for recommending Ali'i Kula Lavender Farm for a Maui itinerary. I meant to review this lavender farm right after my first visit five years ago. On that first visit, it was the spring of 2019, I drove by myself, and enjoyed seeing and smelling all the lavender over sunny, clear skies. I was able to see a beautiful view of the valley below Kula. That visit left such an impression on me that since then, I'd talk my husband's ear off about this farm whenever we'd use lavender products like essential oils or soaps! Last week, I finally took my husband here, along with his sister/my sis-in-law, our brother-in-law and their kids. Even though the skies were overcast, the farm was still serene and calm as ever. What I found interesting was that the gloomy August trip to the farm had much more visitors than my bright April trip, where only one or two other families were visiting. Check out the gift shop/cafe! I enjoyed a lavender latte during my first visit. On my second visit, my family and I split lavender scones and lavender hot tea. Everything was tasty. The scones weren't overpowering of lavender, and they were slight sweet, savory, warm, and crisp from their toaster oven, and even better with butter! Best to review the weather forecast for the town of Kula when planning a trip here! We stayed in sunny Wailea, but Kula wasn't the same as we drove up. Kama'aina and military discounts exist. Kids under 12 enter for free. My husband and I hope to return on a sunnier day and pick up some donut sticks from Makawao's Komoda Bakery on the way! read more

This is a must visit site if you're ever visiting the island of Maui in Hawaii. It's located in the up country area of Maui in the small town of Kula, just below Haleakala. There's approximately 55,000 lavender plants and 20 variations of lavender. They also have varieties of succulents, fruit trees, and a small store the features lemonade, jams, jellies, lotions, pancake/scone dry mixes, and dryer sheet sacks all made from the lavender plants grown on property. The energy up there is amazing. You can sit all day and meditate in their sitting areas, gazebos, and in the open trail areas they provide you to discover on your own. They continually expand every time I visit there's always a new addition I've not seen. I no longer live on Maui but visit here every chance I get. read more

This is our second time here - the first time was in January of 2020 and now again in 2024. The first time the farms were filled with lavender all the way down the hillside and the garden was much more full of exotic flowers. This time there were 3 small patches of lavender and less in the garden. It seemed wild to still call themselves a lavender farm. That said, it is still one of the best views on the island, despite the lack of lavender. So still worth the $3. The gift shop is where they really gouge you. A bookmark was $16. Other items are up to $200. Staff is very friendly. Views are amazing. It's still a good stop along your journey, just don't expect too much lavender. read more

Ali'i Kula Lavender farm is a must include stop in your itinerary if you're visiting Maui. The entrance fee is $3. That's pretty cheap for what you will experience. The farm is a self tour with a beautiful view and a nice scent of lavender. And it's not just the lavender you will find. There's olive trees, succulents, hydrangeas, to name a few of the plants in the garden. It's a lovely place to just relax, a laid back activity to enjoy as you walk around. They have a little shop that sells lavender-infused honey, snacks, chocolates, teas, coffees, and other souvenirs items. read more
Great stop! Would highly recommend. They have upped their prices to $5 per person but the grounds are well kept and so many different flowers and plants to see. The store inside has a bunch of different lavender souvenirs to take home. Absolutely do not forget to get a lavender scone and make sure to toast it! I ate one while there, took one to go, and got the jar of jelly for home! read more
Always one of my favorite places to go to on maui. Peaceful and beautiful, you could just sit up here in your own thoughts and just relax. Don't forget to stop at the store to get your delicious lavender scone with butter and jelly. They dont have the toaster oven to warm up your scone anymore so def take it home with you if you prefer your scone toasted. It's still delicious either way. As im writing this, im kicking myself that we didnt buy more to bring home for some breakfasts this week! This is def a place to take your loved ones who are visiting from out of town. Beautiful grounds, lots of places to walk, and lots of amazing plants to look at. Don't skip this on your trips upcountry! read more

Absolutely beautiful place to spend an hour or two wandering. Gorgeous views and beautiful plants. I wanted to buy everything in the gift store. Loved the scone and jam. Staff were very friendly and helpful. read more
I'm sad that I couldn't give this place more stars. As an avid gardener and a lover of the outdoors this place had, in concept, everything for me but sadly it came up short. The grounds and view are beautiful but when you hear the words "lavender farm" I think of just acres and acres of fields filled with lavender. Such is not the case. There is lavender there but not in an amount I would classify as a "farm". They do have lavender products available for sale and we had a scone and some other goodies which were delicious. Everyone there was super friendly and nice and I generally liked it. To me this is a farm that grows lavender, not a lavender farm. I would not say this is a "must see" if you're headed to Maui. read more

It's a lovely stop to spend some time snacking, walking, and enjoying the views. The gift shop is plentiful! I walked away with some lotions. My husband got the lemonade and cookie.

Beautiful gardens to visit. Up in the mountains, the road to get there is a little curvy. The admission fee is $5 per person. I would say if you are a manual wheelchair user, this would be a difficult place to visit- even difficult for some power wheelchairs as the gardens are on a hill, there are 3 levels to it all. The plants and flowers here are pretty, it's a peaceful place to visit. They have a gift shop to browse with a few snacks and drinks. There are port-a-potties. read more

There's more lavender at the Home Depot! At best, it's a cute gift shop, but it's evident they procure lavender products from other sources. Here are so pictures for folks to decide. I bought some lavender lotion produced in the pacific northwest per bottle label. Recommend to skip unless you are in mood for lavender drinks and food. $5 per person entry fee. read more

The last time I was here was over 10 years ago. Times have really changed for this lavender farm. I was surprised at the $3 per person charge for admission...cash only. Upon driving onto the grounds I couldn't believe the barren fields that were once filled with lavender. The farm still has a beautiful view of the ocean and the stillness of the surrounding. There are lower gardens with a small walking path. The small garden of proteas are very pretty. What was once the after thought of other flowers became the main greens. There are some really great Instagram worthy shots but no lavender. The cute store is still there with overpriced apparel, toiletries and trinkets. The scones are okay but part of the experience. Seating outside is lovely. We would like to return when the fields are replenished. Unfortunately we saw the former lavender fields choked with weeds. read more
