Maui Dragon Fruit is an organic farm as certified by the USDA. From the gorgeous property, you will be treated to both sweeping ocean and epic mountain views.

On the plantation, 16 varieties of exotic dragon fruit are cultivated, along with several other tropical fruits including mango, guava, starfruit, soursop, and sugarcane.

Hour-long tours are offered with a guide who will teach you all about the agricultural history of the island, organic farming, sustainability, and how the dragon and other tropical fruit are grown.

Also included in the tour is a tasting of freshly picked fruit from the farm. If you've never had dragon fruit before, the exterior is bright pink that, when cut open, reveals a white interior speckled with tiny seeds much like a kiwi. The taste is actually similar to that of a kiwi mixed with pear or watermelon.

Take in the stunning views of both the farm and surrounding landscape. It's easy to see why so many couples choose to hold their weddings here.

In addition to the guided tour, you may choose to participate in one of the family-friendly activities hosted on the farm by Paradise Eco-Adventures. Kids and adults alike will enjoy the exhilerating zipline flying above the dragon fruit fields or rolling around in an aquaball on the ground.

Head to Maui Dragon Fruit Farm to enjoy the incredible ocean, mountain, and farm views as you get lost among the dragon fruit. You'll be glad you did!
