    Cute little shop, we didn't have time for a tour as we had dinner reservations at Ocean nearby. We had a cheese tasting for $27. It was good! My favorite was Ole. Beautiful area.

    If you have little ones this would be a really cool place to take them. They offer some awesome tours along with some tasty treats to try that are made out of goat milk... like cheese and chocolates. If you want to just come by and check out the gift shop and grab a bucket of hay to feed them you can do that too. They have beautifully kept grounds. Clean! Staff was very welcoming!

    This was a wonderful experience! Love the goats, love the cheese, love the beautiful property with gorgeous views! And the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and exceptional tour guide.

    If you're out in the area, i definitely recommend stopping by the Surfing Goat Dairy. I came at about 10 am on a Saturday a with no reservation. I was able to buy a bucket of hay for about $10 and feed a selection of goats that were sweet and ready to be fed! I stopped inside the gift shop and there was a lot of cute items to buy as souvenirs as well as a goat cheese flight and an assortment of truffles. My boyfriend and I did a cheese flight together about $27. One cheese flight for 2-3 people is definitely enough, I would not recommend getting one per person unless you are REALLY hungry. 4 people could probably eat one flight if you're just looking for a small sampling. I did not do a tour but the farm is relatively small so I feel like I still enjoyed myself without a tour. I'd definitely tell friends and family to visit here!

    This tour advertises that there is a kamaaina discount but there was no option to add the information for it. I read somewhere that you have to show them your ID at check-in and they will credit you the discount. Well when we showed up they said they can't credit once a transaction is completed. Advised next time, don't actually book it online. Just called to hold the space and pay when you show up with your kamaaina ID. Won't be a next time for us. The actual tour was informative. This time of the year, no baby/kid goats, no milking of the goats. Just petting the goats behind the fence and feeding some alfalfa and leaves. You end with a free truffle of your choice. I ordered the mixed cheese tasting plate online. It was a good variety and nice amount of crackers. Our group liked the sundried tomato and the one the best.

    The truffles are SO DELICIOUS- definitely recommend buying those!! Also the goats milk soaps smell HEAVENLY. The goats are super adorable and feeding them was a real treat. We loved the variety of flavors in our goat cheese flight and we absolutely loved the experience of coming to this beautiful dairy farm! Lovely place for a laid back afternoon!

    Cheese flight

    I'd give this place 20 stars if I could. We booked the baby goat experience and it was AWESOME!!! The baby goats were so cute and playful. They liked being held and touched. We also got the goat cheese flight and the cheese was delicious! I'd definitely visit again!

    We ve come before, so this time, no tour. Just pet the goats and bring home 2 nice cheese spreads. Only avail here. All smiles here.

    We had a wonderful time at Surfing Cow Dairy during our Maui trip. We got to tour the grounds, learn about the goats, the cheese and truffle making process, pet and feed them and enjoyed a delicious cheese plate at the end on their pretty grounds. The tour leader Tracy was extremely knowledgeable, fun and great with kids. My only regret is that we didn't do the Golden Girl's tour (ages 18+) because you get to spend more free range time with the goats and I would have loved to meet the older gals, but that's our mistake. Bookmarking it for our next trip! Also they talked about the major upgrade of the grounds they did in 2023. I'd probably concentrate on the more recent reviews as it sounds like the experience now is much nicer. They have a lovely store for additional cheese and truffle purchases, merch, quiche, cheesecake and more.

    Goat milk soap made at Surfing Goat Dairy (3 for $30) - April 2025
    Joanna R.

    Really not sure this place could be any cuter. Booked a last minute baby goat experience tour and they were flexible enough to let us add another person as our numbers changed. We arrived a bit early, easy parking, felt comfortable and secluded enough to leave my purse just in the car. Cute shop with chocolates and branded merchandise. Pens with the baby goats with their birthdays labeled from youngest (2-3 days old) to oldest babies (5-6 weeks old). The older ones were the babies we were able to have the experience with - they were brought into a special area with seats for the humans and climbing things for the goats. They were so curious about our shoelaces, our hair, everything - so friendly. It was a fun way to spend 30 mins on our way to the airport. The most fascinating part was listening to (one of) the owner(s) talk about how he takes care of these goats - how well organized and responsible they are with the hundreds of goats they're raising. He had a fascinating backstory of how he wound up in Maui at the Surfing Goat Dairy and their plans for the future. Fun little side trip - got some soap to take home and wish we had time for the cheese boards. We'll do it next time!

    Feta was terrific

    Get educational experience!! We met a baby goat born earlier in the day, had an opportunity to pet and feed older goats. Learned about breeding, milking and the cheese making process. Finished with a yummy cheese flight, and truffles (try the birthday cake flavor!)

    We had such an amazing time at Surfing Goat Dairy! Our tour guide, Tracy, was wonderful--friendly, funny, and so knowledgeable. The cheese platter was delicious, the truffles were incredible, and the cheesecake was out of this world. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. Side note: the restroom could definitely use some attention--the toilet bowl was honestly the most disgusting I've ever seen and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a while. But aside from that, the experience itself was fantastic and absolutely worth it!

    Lilikoi Cheesecake with Goat Cheese
    Emily Y.

    Very cool dairy farm! You can book a short tour that comes with goat feeding and a small cheese & choco tasting, but you don't need to if you just want to enjoy the farm. The shop has treats like chocolate truffles, quiches, and a lilikoi cheesecake make with cheese from the farm. There's a lovely seating area to enjoy your treats and just watch the goats. The tour is informative about goat breeding, rearing, milking, the dairy industry, and cheesemaking.

    Are you able to do a cheese tasting without booking a tour? All the tours at 6 years old + and we have a little one. Would love the opportunity to still come, enjoy and try the goat cheese.

    Yes

    Is the cheese tasting still available? How do you book it?

    Yes still available

    I have a 2 year old does she need a ticket as well and can we buy tickets for the casual tour at the place?

    Suggest reviewing their website or email placing a call

    Anyone know if their cheeses are pasteurized?

    Yes

    Can I buy surfing goat cheese truffles on the mainland? Specifically, Las Vegas?

    No you cannot buy them there, you must have them shipped from Maui

    Do the truffles need to be refrigerated? How long are they good for?

    No idea :/ I do, however, remember that you can put the frozen goat cheese in your checked bag and it will stay frozen while you are flying. The goat cheese it soooooo good!

In the back, you will find a food court with endless options, whether you grab what is already laid out or order fresh off the menu. I had the California roll twice, and the rice was so soft with a perfect rice-to-filling ratio, easily the best California roll I have ever had. I also tried the BBQ flatbread, which was pretty good. Ordering off the menu was also a great option. I got the fried rice and galbi, which came with sides and were all delicious. One thing my friend could not stop talking about was the poke, which was slightly on the spicier side but fresh, soft, and very tasty. This place has it all, and you really cannot go wrong. It might be a bit more on the expensive side depending on what you get, but it is pretty in line with the rest of Hawaii's pricing. Do yourself a favor and check it out. You can also grab groceries and snacks while you are there.

This deli is located in a strip mall and is bigger inside than it looks from the outside. On one side they have the ordering area with a beverage cooler, a display case, and hats for sale with their logo. The other side has seating and can probably fit around 30 to 40 people. For lunch on this day I went with the chicken pesto panini while my father went with a hot dog with mustard and sauerkraut. The menu described my sandwich as chicken breast, sun dried tomato, toasted pine nuts, provolone, and pesto spread, and my father's simply as sauerkraut and mustard. It was busy when we were there, so it took about 10 minutes to order and another 15 minutes for the food to come out. Since we ordered separately, my food came out first and even though I planned to wait, I had enough time to eat it while waiting for my dad's. The chicken pesto panini ended up being quite good. The chicken was moist and flavorful and there was more than enough cheese. The sun dried tomatoes added a nice pop of flavor, although I wish there had been more. My favorite part was the pesto spread and pine nuts, especially the garlicky flavor from the pesto. My dad also thought his hot dog was good. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I enjoyed my sandwich and my dad enjoyed his hot dog, so I would be interested in trying more of the menu.

We have ordered a mix of different sized boards to fit our needs for each event. The boards were beautifully presented and offered a variety of meats, cheeses, and crackers to choose from. It was because of them that I discovered the Sartori Cabernet Sauvignon BellaVitano Cheese (delicious wine cheese) and that pesto is amazing with honey. Haha :) At first we weren't sure if it was "enough" food for the amount of people we were expecting, but they turned out to be perfect for snacking/grazing and everyone loved the presentation. It can get quite a bit pricey, but they will work with you to create a menu that fits your budget and ideas if needed, and can even incorporate any dietary restrictions or preferences. For us, it was worth it to add something that was not only pretty and delicious, but saved us a lot of time!
