Maui plantation tour

[Cruisingirl2012]

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has booked this independently or taken a taxi to the plantation and booked tour directly at the farm?

what plantation?

Sorry, the pineapple plantation or tropical

I don’t see why you couldn’t book the pineapple tour independently but if you rented a car you could see more. I’m not sure what the cab situation is like there.

 

The Maui Tropical Plantation has a tram tour but you can also just walk the grounds for free. We’ve been here a few times, it’s a lovely place.

I ended up booking a tour with the cruiseline that includes the plantation tour. Thank you 🙂

My daughter and family live on Maui and after the tram tour, my Granddaughter, who was 5 at the time said at the end: Is this all there is? We laughed when she made the statement, which says a lot. According to what I've read, there is more there now, with the duck/fish pond, tropical flower gardens, and the Mill House Restaurant which I understand it is excellent! All the changes could most probably change our perception of the time we spent at the Plantation. We'll be visiting our family again in June so we may go back and check out the changes. As for the tour; I'm quite sure we'll pass on that. 

 

Enjoy your time in Maui, it's a beautiful island!

Veterans can tour the "farm," museum and grounds, for free, including all members of their party.  I think the tram was extra $.  It's an interesting glimpse into a part of Maui's history, an interesting stop, easily done in an hour.

The Plantation is great!  Totally recommend it!  It has even improved over the years with the gift shop and restaurant.  My opinion is to go there on your own--as it will allow more freedom.

Thanks for the update on the Maui Plantation as it has certainly changed from when we were there last. We will make a visit and since we'll be there for 2 weeks plus beginning on June 15th. I'll update my post after our visit! Thanks Triptkr!

I initially booked the Maui Deluxe Sightseeing and recently changed it to Iao Valley and Maui plantation tour instead. The first one included the Aquarium and we don't have much interest for.
