The One Enchanting Place In Hawaii That Must Go On Your Bucket List Immediately

Ali’i Kula Lavender Farm in Maui offers stunning views, diverse lavender varieties, and unique visitor experiences.

From palaces straight out of a fairytale to vibrant gardens full of rainbow eucalyptus trees, the Hawaiian Islands are home to countless enchanting places. While it would be impossible to choose the most enchanting location in all of Hawaii, we certainly have a good idea of the strongest contenders, including a Maui farm that will absolutely blow you away. Upcountry Maui, on the slopes of Mount Haleakala, gets a great deal of rain, resulting in lush, green scenery and flourishing lavender fields at the always-enchanting Ali'i Kula Lavender Farm.

The stunning 13.5-acre farm is located on the slopes of Mount Haleakala at approximately 4,000 feet above sea level. It’s one of the most beautiful Hawaiian lavender farms.

Home to approximately 55,000 lavender plants and 45 different varieties of lavender, you would never guess that lavender wasn’t native to the island - the cool, dry climate here means lavender can thrive year-round.

The beautiful, fragrant lavender isn’t the only thing to see at this gorgeous farm – visitors will also be rewarded with panoramic views of the entire western half of the island.

The eco-friendly and self-sustaining farm is all about community and relaxation. Farms in Hawaii, especially on Maui, are beautiful places to visit.

The only way to reach the farm is by car - buses are not allowed on the property. But it’s worth it, because this is one of the best lavender farms in Hawaii.

Guests of the farm can take a rejuvenating tour of the gardens and breathe in the fresh mountain air or participate in special classes, a daily self-guided treasure hunt, and themed tours, like the always-popular “Pick Your Own Lavender” tour.

Don’t forget to stop at the gift shop and pick up a souvenir from your visit.

Ali’I Kula Lavender Farm shares their harvest with more than 25 local businesses that incorporate the lavender into more than 75 unique products, including essential oil products, cosmetics, sachets, soaps, candles, and scrubs. Ocean Vodka even makes a lavender-flavored organic vodka. Oh, and you can’t forget to grab a cup of lavender-infused hot chocolate while you’re at the farm - there’s truly nothing quite like it.

The Ali’i Kula Lavender Farm is open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily at 1100 Waipoli Road. There are fees for admission and walking tours. For more information, call (808) 878-3004, or visit Ali'i Kula Lavender Farm’s website.
