    A fun family outing! It's not so much a farm tour, hence why it's called coconut tasting tour. Our guide Parker was really knowledgeable and had excellent machete skills. The first part of the experience is walking around the property to see coconut trees and the various fruit trees like their apple banana, pomegranate, mango, lemon, papaya trees. We also got to learn a bit of the history of Lahaina. After that we got to try coconut water and coconut meat at different stages of their life. I didn't realize it took so long for a coconut to mature. Also the effort and skill that it takes to open a coconut is impressive. It really made me appreciate coconuts, even though I'm not a fan of coconut. I will say, that's the best coconut water I've ever tasted. The coconut water they sell at Costco is awful compared to an almost mature fresh coconut in the wild.

    Just went there with my two daughters after having searched the island high and low for a place to get them a coconut "drink". We pulled up and they were "closed" but Kai, Megan and Barry were kind enough to welcome us in the middle of their breakfast with their family and serve up my girls some drinks anyway. Thanks guys!

    We added the Punakea Palms Coconut Farm tour on our itinerary while talking to another tourist on another excursion. It sounded quite interesting and I was like hey why not? It was our 3rd time in Maui and we wanted to try a new and unique experience. Since it was last minute there was only 4pm spot available on the day that we can fit it in. And it turns out this time slot was perfect! More on that later.... We took this tour back on 12/23/2019 and being on Maui the weather was perfect. Our group of 10 had an educational tour about coconuts and coconut trees. Oh and did I mention I love coconut everything? We learned about the different stages at which you can harvest coconuts. Then you get some freshly chopped coconuts to eat and drink, it was so refreshing! We walked over to see the many fruit trees in the garden area, there's literally one of every fruit trees here! Then we walked over to actual coconut trees to learn about their age and different layers. Afterwards our guide took us to another area where they have on site weddings. He showed us where the ceremony, the band and the dancing area would be. And being that we took the 4pm tour, by this time it was the gorgeous sunset view!! This was simply the best view on the whole island. I would hands down have my wedding here if I wasn't already married! Then lastly they teach you how to make homemade coconut milk! Just from a little bit of coconut shredding, you can make a whole mason jar of coconut milk where we can take home! We had to fly out to Kauai the next day, so we drank some that night and finished it next morning during breakfast. This was truly a very unique and fun experience to have. We also got to take home our individual eco friendly bamboo straw in addition to the coconut milk. I thought these straws were great stocking stuffer so I bought a few more as souvenirs. I did noticed a group of family of four had to share their one mason jar of coconut milk though. It would probably be better if they have one jar per 2 person since I assumed we all paid $50/pp for the tour.

    Super cute place to stop for sugar cane drink, coconut drink and other drinks they offer. As it is a coconut farm, you can book a tour to understand more about coconut cultivation and consumption, while enjoying the experience of hand-made coconut products. We didn't book a tour as it was last minute when we found this place so we decided to still check it out. Service was friendly. Highly recommend the mango lassi drink for those who like mango as it is refreshing in the humid weather and the mango taste is strong. I enjoy the coconut drink. It definitely taste more fresh than the coconut drinks I usually get from Costco (still like the ones from Costco too). Coconut flesh is tastier and they will help you cut it if you want to try. At the end, we also got sugar cane drink to go. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Maui!

    What a great experience. They opened a number of coconuts for us allowing us to taste the water and meat at various stages of the life cycle. The farm is family owned and they are extremely knowledgeable. We saw many other trees and fruits. We even got to participate in making coconut milk. The tour lasted 2 hours but felt like 10 minutes. The farm itself is beautiful and we were in the shade most of the time. There is a restroom available. Do bring bug spray though. They send you home with a full jar of the coconut milk that you make yourself. There is a very small gift shop on your way out. It was fun.

    The farm tour was a lot of fun and totally worth it! Lots of tasty coconut! I recommend you pack some dark chocolate and maybe a flask of rum to further enhance the experience ;) the garden surrounding the grove was beautiful as well. They also have the cafe open if you want to stop in just for fresh coconuts, coffee, and more

    A lovely bunch of coconuts!
    Erica E.

    I had so much fun on the coconut tour finding out all the hidden knowledge of coconuts. This small operation deserves mad love for all the passion they have about preserving the a culture that has been completely taken away from the island. Sad... but true. I will never be able to look at a coconut the same way again and I am thankful for that. I also enjoyed a coconut iced coffee once the tour was over and it was to die for! I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for something a little different on Maui. You get fun, history, culture and the beauty of nature all wrapped up in one neat package! Keep it up guys!

    Super unique experience with the amazing ocean view, sugar cane Juice and coconut iced coffee.

    After the tasting, we got to open and bring home our own coconut!

    SO FUN!!! This was my first time in Hawaii and I am so glad I did the coconut tasting tour here! We got to have so many coconuts that we were drowning in them! It was so interesting seeing and tasting the coconuts at all the different stages of maturity. Our guide Kai was so knowledgable about coconuts that my mind was blown with all the facts them. The property is so beautiful and I am definitely coming back anytime that I find myself in Maui; only next time I'm making sure to bring friends!

    We decided to take the farm tour and it was great! I love that this farm is small and family owned/operated. You get so much value from the price you pay. I am not a fan of structured tours and the laid back vibe of Mike and the team was perfect. During the tour, you will eat/drink a lot three coconuts and make a TON of coconut milk. If you can, take this tour earlier in tour trip so you have time to finish all of the milk that you will make. The only downside is the fact that the property is a little messy, but for a good reason. They choose to leave debris and compostable material so the threes flourish. Because of this, my husband was covered in bug bites. They let us eat some of the ripe fruits from their trees as well! If you are interested in learning more about culture, coconuts, and supporting a small, local business, I highly recommend!

    What a hidden gem of a place. Look, learn, and discover all about coconuts. Try young coconut water straight from the fruit off the tree. Super cool.

    Nutritious snack break!
    Cannon S.

    By FAR this tour was the highlight of my family's Maui trip. We took our five-year-old daughter and I know this will live in her heart for a very long time. Mikey was so great with the kids and was still able to juggle all the questions thrown at him by the grownups. He was a warm host and after the first 10 minutes this tour felt more like an educational outing with friends. Who knew the coconut was such a universal fruit/nut/seed?! On part 3 of the tour after we made homemade coconut milk (yes, out of fresh coconuts and a little work that the kids did all by themselves) Mikey gave all three kids the shredded coconut from the straining sacks. The biggest smiles spread across their faces as they had a coconut snowball fight! Already looking forward to our next visit when the cafe is finished. Great parking, excellent service, and absolutely top-notch tour. Thanks for the memories, education and nutritious snacks.

    Kai tells about the life of the coconut tree and the coconut . He weaves the history, practical uses and the future of the coconut. kai's sincere, heartfelt approach to sharing his family farm with visitors is much appreciated. $55 gets you a tour, tasting coconuts at various stages in their life, learn to make coconut milk and a chance to stroll their lovely farm. This is a must do!

    Are kids under 3 allowed?

    There was another party with a child around 1~2 years old, so I assume so. The property is very well built but there are definitely parts you cant bring a stroller through, so they will have to be in your arms.

    Hello! Can we still visit the farm without a tour?

    The information says tours at 9a and 1pm but the booking calendar only has 9a. Do they still do 1pm tours?

    We took the 1 pm tour recently. If an afternoon tour is all booked up,it will not show up on that particular day’s availability. You need to call or check what days have a 1pm tour available.
