This plantation offers much more than just pretty scenery. Visitors consistently praise the beautiful grounds perfect for leisurely strolls, complete with ponds, gardens, and ducks to feed. The property features multiple draws: a produce market with fresh tropical fruits at reasonable prices, a train tour that gets high marks for being informative, and zipline adventures led by exceptional guides like Nate, Seth, and Pono who blend safety with humor and genuine care for guests. Cafe O Lei stands out as a major highlight. The brunch earns rave reviews, particularly the French onion soup, and the mountain views from the large patio create a memorable dining experience. Between the walking paths, tours, shopping for farm products, and quality food options, there's enough variety here to fill a few hours. The overall atmosphere feels family-friendly and relaxed, with visitors appreciating both the historical sugar mill elements and the well-maintained tropical setting that makes it an appealing stop during a Maui visit.
Duck pond with fish and turtles. Food is $2.50 for ducks. Beautiful grounds and great for kids for a quick trip. You'll most likely pass by this place. Worth a quick visit.
