Maui Macadamia Tours — Attraction in Maui

We went not expecting much but we were pleasantly surprised. This may be the best tour we’ve ever been on! Actually, the farm does much more than macadamia. They are a cooperative which is passionate about farm to table sustainable foods and hydroponic agriculture. They are a relatively young farm but quite established. We were only the fourth tour they’ve ever done and it was just us and the guide. They had coconut, dragonfruit, banana, lilikoi, pineapple, papaya, mango, avocado, orange, and macadamia nut trees. They also grew several varieties of lettuces, tomatoes, and herbs hydroponically for local restaurants. They operate entirely off the grid and are totally organic. They gave us fresh picked coconut and lilikoi. Both were very good. We had lunch there at Ula’Ula Cafe. Chicken Katsu and a vegetable sandwich (using veggies grown at that farm). Both were tasty. They have lots of plans to expand and improve. But the best part of the tour was the crew…all of them were extremely enthusiastic, knowledgeable and dedicated to the land and what they could produce on it. And their passion...

So to be honest this tour was an add-on to our trip and not in the initial plans. My wife and I were so glad that circumstances changed so that we were able to have this experience. Gant was our guide. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour a real treat. Speaking of treats, getting to eat freshly picked dragonfruit, coconut and tomatoes grown hydroponically was a highlight.

I personally enjoyed learning about how the farm was rehabilitated organically as well as the sustainable practices utilized currently. I also was impressed with how they are experimenting with innovative techniques to expand on both efficiency and biodiversity. Again, Gant’s passion on these issues made the experience special.

In summary, I would highly recommend this tour. If/when I return to Maui I definitely plan on doing it again and would be looking forward to see how they have progressed. With everything to see and do in Maui both my wife and I felt this tour was one of the...

My fiancé and I drove past this place on our way to the Waihee Ridge Trail. We decided to book a tour with lunch on a whim. We really enjoyed the whole experience and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Gant (the farm manager, apologize if the spelling is wrong!) was super knowledgeable and patient, answering every question we had. He was enthusiastic to teach us about the farm and its sustainable practices. He was also really excited to share projects that are in the works. We got to drink/eat coconuts straight from the tree, crack and eat our own Mac nuts! Also the farm to table lunch from the food truck was incredible. We got the loco moco and the mahi mahi salad. Both were absolutely incredible and probably one of our favorite meals of the trip. The passion and commitment to sustainable farming really shows throughout the tour and the amazing fresh food we got to eat. We both highly recommend visiting, even if it’s just to...
