Most People Have Never Visited The Little-Known Maui Butterfly Farm In Hawaii
Most people are surprised to learn that the Hawaiian Islands are home to countless incredible farms, ranches, and sprawling fields. From macadamia nut and local coffee farms to cattle ranches, organic spirit distilleries, and even honey bee and goat dairy operations, Hawaiian Islands are home to countless incredible agricultural ventures. And while these farms are all truly one-of-a-kind, this little-known destination stands out in a class all its own.
Tucked away off the beaten path on the slopes of Mount Haleakala just outside the charming town of Makawao, few people have heard of — let alone visited — the Maui Butterfly Farm.
Unlike many other butterfly farms on the mainland and around the world, all of the butterflies that live on this organic farm are home-bred and hand-raised meaning that every single butterfly found here is endemic to Hawaii.
Not only is this the oldest butterfly farm in Hawaii, but it’s also the only one that offers private tours. Nowhere else in the Aloha State can you see live Hawaiian butterflies than their walk-in butterfly flight house.
In addition to butterflies, you’ll get to interact with a variety of farm animals when you visit the Maui Butterfly Farm. How many chameleons will you spot as you tour the property?
Among towering eucalyptus trees and stunning views of the coast, the farm is nestled on several acres of land and is a wonderful excursion for visitors of all ages. So, what are you waiting for? Book your tour today!
The Maui Butterfly Farm offers tours by appointment only for groups of up to 14. For more information, including pricing, you can visit their website. Have you ever been to a butterfly farm before? Would you like to go?
