    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.

    Rupel J.

    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.

    When is lavender season and best time to visit?

    June and early july

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

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.

I also want to apologize for revising this review twice; my first attempt was rushed and full of misspellings, and the second was a quick fix of those errors. However, after being home and having the time to relax and reflect, I realized there were details gnawing at my soul that I needed to share. While I could have justified the $250 price tag if the experience had met my expectations of what was included, I simply cannot justify it for the experience we actually had. I am left with a soured, bitter aftertaste in my heart for an experience that I wanted with my family. It is hard for me to give a five-star rating just because someone "tried"; I believe a top-tier rating must be earned through the experience one had, and Jan lacked in presentation, friendliness, and overall value. For our party of four, we paid $1,000, and in hindsight, we could have had a significantly better experience by using our own rental car and buying a high-quality telescope for half the cost. Don't get me wrong, the views were amazing, but Jan expected the National Park (which she did not create) to carry the entire value of the tour. There was no historical context shared about the land; she simply relied on the scenery to do the work. The lack of consideration for her guests was most apparent in how she rushed us. Both of my parents have medical limitations--my mother is a brain surgery survivor and my stepfather was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's. Both were medically cleared by their doctors for this visit, so while their conditions were not life-threatening, they naturally move at a slower pace, or what some would refer to as "Hawaii time." At the stop at the top of the mountain, Jan initially told us we would have an hour to look around, then suddenly changed it to 15 minutes. This was incredibly insensitive; 15 minutes is a rush for someone physically fit, let alone for people managing mobility issues. The actual stargazing was equally frustrating and felt hypocritical. Jan would complain if someone accidentally turned on a phone screen, claiming it affected her dilated pupils, yet she had no problem using a high-powered laser pointer against rocks instead of the sky, refracting the light directly into our eyes. Furthermore, none of us got long at the telescope because she insisted on refocusing it after every two people, all while a personal friend of hers joined for free and took up our paid telescope time. To put the lack of value in perspective, we recently paid $165 for a snorkeling tour on a catamaran that included a crew of five, two full meals, and equipment. Here, we had to bring our own snacks and water, and Jan even requested to use our personal National Park passes to get the group through the gate. Between the conspiracy theories playing loudly on the radio, her robotic and demanding attitude, and the underwhelming equipment, we felt massively overcharged. You can find better value elsewhere or by driving yourself at your own pace.

From start to finish, everything was well organized and comfortable. We traveled in a tall Mercedes Sprinter van, which made the drive much more enjoyable with less motion sickness than expected. The seats were comfortable and there was plenty of room to store personal items. Janet provided warm jackets and pants, which were greatly appreciated since temperatures at the summit can drop into the 60s and feel much cooler with the wind. She really thought of everything. We toured the summit area of Haleakalā, enjoyed snacks and dinner while watching a spectacular sunset, and then transitioned into an incredible night of stargazing. The telescope views were stunning--far more detailed than I expected. We were able to see so much, and the images through the telescope were truly unforgettable. Janet is exceptionally knowledgeable and did a fantastic job explaining astronomy, the night sky, and Hawaiian history and culture. She used a laser pointer to guide us through the constellations, making it easy to follow along and understand what we were seeing. No question seemed too small, and her enthusiasm was contagious. Most importantly, the entire experience was fun, respectful, relaxed, and full of good vibes. Janet clearly loves what she does, and it shows. If you're considering a Haleakalā stargazing tour, I highly recommend booking with Janet. It was an incredible experience that we'll remember for years to come. She provides you with a PowerPoint presentation at the end and pictures highlighting the stars! Above and beyond! You can't see the objects you will see without her high powered telescope! It was spectacular !!
