We stopped here after a visit to Iao Valley State Park on a Sunday afternoon to browse the craft fair. Small number of vendors, but they had GREAT (better) prices on Hawaiian products that are available in shops and another larger craft fair. The bonus was the train ride around the farm. My mom and I are native North Dakota... More

Nice place to learn about plants and produce of the island. Quick little trolley ride, great for those not so fast on their feet. Lots of interesting fact! (Bit pricey)

My expectations were not met on my first visit to MTP. While the grounds were nice the farm was quite underwhelming. Sure we saw some interesting tropical fruits but a lot of things were not growing that well. The tram tour was pretty lame and definitely not worth the price paid.

My husband and I enjoyed spending a few hours touring the plantation. The prices were reasonable for the train ride and in the gift shop.

A very pleasant afternoon tram ride though the planation and a demonstration of how to open and use a coconut. The guide's enthusiasm for the whole process was very entertaining. By the time he was finished he told us cocnuts were great for your skin, healthy to eat and cured many diseases. He did a great job and made the... More

We were on our way from the south beaches to the Lahaina area and decided to stop by the Maui Tropical Plantation. One of my nephews wanted to zipline for the first time and this was a nice decision. For we adults, we took the tram ride to learn more about the plants of Maui while the 10 and 12... More
