From palaces straight out of a fairytale to vibrant gardens full of rainbow eucalyptus trees, the Hawaiian Islands are home to countless enchanting places. While it would be impossible to choose the most enchanting location in all of Hawaii, we certainly have a good idea of the strongest contenders, including a Maui farm that will absolutely blow you away. Upcountry Maui, on the slopes of Mount Haleakala, gets a great deal of rain, resulting in lush, green scenery, and flourishing lavender fields at the always-enchanting Ali’i Kula Lavender Farm.
The stunning 13.5-acre farm is located on the slopes of Mount Haleakala at approximately 4,000 feet above sea level.

Home to approximately 55,000 lavender plants and 45 different varieties of lavender, you would never guess that lavender wasn’t native to the island - the cool, dry climate here means lavender can thrive year-round.

The beautiful, fragrant lavender isn’t the only thing to see at this gorgeous farm – visitors will also be rewarded with panoramic views of the entire western half of the island.

Guests of the farm can take a rejuvenating tour of the gardens and breathe in the fresh mountain air or participate in special classes, a daily self-guided treasure hunt, and themed tours, like the always-popular “Pick Your Own Lavender” tour.
