Maui Vanilla Farm Private Tour

The beautiful farm, delicious tastings and Candace and Clay's knowledge made this an amazing experience! We will definitely be adding this to our must do on Maui list.

Wonderful people and amazing product!

What a treat! Something so simple but so informative! If you like to learn new things and can spare a few minutes go check it out.

Wow, what a lovely experience. The size of our tour reminded me of dining car dinners on a train trip; how exciting to be engaged with other travelers in a way that feels like we’re really together on a disparate journey. The level of inspiration+fun is via culinary extravaganza, research, trial and error, biology, joy, hard work, creativity, love & … I can’t tell you too much because you’ll be immersed in the wonders for yourself!

A fascinating day learning all about growing artisan vanilla at a family run, small scale farm. Candace and Clay are warm and generous with their knowledge and hospitality. Candace’s homemade desserts are delicious, and home bakers will walk away with secrets to take their baked goodies to a whole new level. A must-do Maui excursion.

Small group, intimate and informative about everything that goes into growing, pollinating and curing vanilla beans. The vanilla lemonade to start was good, but the ice cream and cheese cake samples at the end were Michelin star level. Our 90 min tour ended up being 2-1/2 hrs because the owner stayed and shared a lot of extra info with us. Very much enjoyed.

Wonderful afternoon spent at the vanilla farm. It’s not only in a beautiful upcountry location but also a great learning experience. Candace and Clay operate a small vanilla farm and are very eager to share not only the science behind growing vanilla beans but also some special homemade ice cream and cheese cake with all the guest at the end of the tour. If you’ve ever done a coffee of cacao tour you now need to experience the vanilla bean tour. If you have never done any eco food tour, this is a great one to start with.

We had the best time ever. I loved learning about the whole vanilla bean process and seeing it all happen. Beautiful property and amazing people. We can’t wait to be back!! I’m dreaming about the likikoi butter and cheesecake. (And vanilla bean ice cream of course)

Candace and Clay were extremely welcoming and accommodating. I came in knowing next to nothing about vanilla, and left with a deeper appreciation for all the hard work that goes into the growing process. We were greeted with a refreshing vanilla limeade which was absolutely delicious. We concluded the tour by trying lilikoi jam, lilioki butter and a delicious homemade cheesecake and ice cream which was some of the best I have ever had. They were so knowledgeable and engaging throughout the tour and the farm was absolutely beautiful. I would consider this tour as a must when visiting Maui and I hope to be back soon!

We had a free day in Maui and this was one of those things where it sounded interesting and different so I signed up for a tour. I actually made a mistake when booking on their website and I was able to call them right after and they cleared up my mistake. Day of the tour, we were greeted by one of the owners and he made us feel at home. Our tour started and we found out that we were the only ones who signed up for that time slot so we got our own private tour! There are some delicious samples of things made with their vanilla throughout the tour. The vanilla limeade was so good! They give so much interesting information during the tour that you feel like you want to start your own vanilla farm once you get home. They also have a very adorable dog on property that was the icing on the cake for me. Overall a 10/10 experience!!!
