With more than 10 years of experience as a professional writer, Megan holds a degree in Mass Media from her home state of Minnesota. After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
Many people who don’t live in the Aloha State are surprised to learn that Hawaii is 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, the 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.
Nestled on Maui’s northwestern coast near Lahaina is the truly spectacular Maui Dragon Fruit Farm. If you love dragon fruit as much as we do, you’ll want to plan a visit this fantastic farm right away.
Cultivating more than a dozen varieties of dragon fruit alongside a variety of other tropical fruits and plants — pineapple, papaya, banana, starfruit, guava, lilikoi, mango, sugar cane, avocado and more — the Maui Dragon Fruit Farm is one of the most unique farms in the Aloha State you can visit.
To experience this farm for yourself, book a one-hour farm tour on their website. Each guided walking tour includes a lesson about West Maui’s agricultural history, Hawaii’s fauna, the farm’s founding story, and the unique health benefits of these fruits.
As you meander across the farm, take in the picturesque, panoramic views of the West Maui Mountains and the vast Pacific Ocean. Don’t forget your camera!
But you can do more than enjoy a tour at this exotic fruit farm. Soar over dragon fruit fields on this fast, exhilarating zipline. The unparalleled, 450-foot-long Dragon Zipline is a fast medium range gravity breaking zipline that lets you try out tons of fun ziplining tricks.
Each 1.5-hour tour lets guests zip down this epic line four times so you can become comfortable with what to expect. It’s also perfect for non-zipliners — small children, parents, and grandparents — who can easily watch, take photographs, and enjoy the show!
Not interesting in zipline, but still want an adrenaline rush? Take a ride in the epic, one-of-a-kind aquaball, a double-walled inflatable ball that takes guests on a 450-foot-long course that is slippery, super fun, and extremely safe.
Run like a hamster in a ball or relax and let the aquaball swish you around — the choice is yours!
Both of these adrenaline-inducing adventures are accompanied by complementary farm tours the entire family will love. The Maui Dragon Fruit Farm is one sweet spot you’ll want to experience for yourself.
So, what are you waiting for? The Maui Dragon Fruit Farm is one of the island's most unique and you'll want to add this spot to your Hawaii bucket list as soon as possible.
The Maui Dragon Fruit Farm is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, or to book a tour, ziplining excursion, or aquaball adventure, head on over to their website.
