My husband and I are 30, no kids, and we went out of curiosity to Surfing Goat Dairy during a 1-week stay in Maui. It was wonderful to learn about this family business and taste delicious cheeses! The Liliquoi Quark was a knock-out. We've been reading a bit about independent farming in the US, and Surfing Goat's business practices and... more

$7 per person for a tour that should be free. A bit disappointing. Prices on the cheese are very high. It's not what I will suggest to others travelling to Maui. Perhaps the longer tours represent a better value. more

We are sorry you felt like you did not get the tour you were expecting for $7. The $7 Casual Tour is meant to be a general overview of our dairy along with some fun visiting the goats out in their pasture area. We are the least expensive thing to do on the island, so we have always felt like...

We took the Grand Tour and loved it. We met and fed the goats, watched the dogs herd them, milked one of the goats, and then spent a marvelous hour sampling dozens of different cheeses made at the dairy. A delight for foodies, but this tour was too long for young children - if you have little kids, take the... more

My husband and I visited this dairy today and all I can say is WOW! The cheese is fantastic and all home grown ingredients. We took the dairy tour and also bought some cheese which I can say is uncomparable to the so called 'feta cheese' you can buy at the local food stores and well worth the price!! We... more

This little stop was recommended to us by a friend who lives on Maui, and we are sure glad we went! We got to sample some cheeses for free (and they were ALL delicious), as well as roam around the area and see the goats. We opted to take the little $7 tour and learned all about the goats while... more

six of us including twoo kids visited the farm after reading adds and recommendations from locals. what a joke! cheese was ok but expensive. the tour lasted 15 min and was not worth the $42.00 it cost us. herb garden was a real joke. don't waste your time or $$$. more

Thomas Kafsack, Manager

While we thank you for taking the time to review our dairy, we wanted to clear up a few things: 1. The tour costs $7 per person, not $42 as some might think by reading this. 2. The tour that you went on lasts for 20 minutes (as stated in all ads and when you call us for information). This...

We've toured their dairy and it was great fun and informative. We've attended three of their special event dinners and they were fantastic. BUT IT IS THEIR CHEESE THAT YOU'LL LOVE! So many wonderful flavors! And best of all we are seeing their cheeses show up on the menus of Maui's finest restaurants. more

Our family which included our 1 yr old & 4 yrl old did tale the $7.00 tour. It was fine for the price and not too long for the kids. I thought the staff was fine and the cheese was great! The kids loved feeding the goats and would recommend for younger ones as a day trip. more

We enjoyed the cheese so much that we had to go back the next day for seconds. The employees were very friendly and even offered us some Ping Pongs to try. Once we tasted the Ping Pongs we had to buy 2 jars. I really love the Men's Challenge and the Ivory Coast. My son who did not come with... more

our group of 4 women visited this farm and found hands out quickly for our $7.00 tour. tall blond women almost totally bored with not only us but the farm in general. this led to a hasty hand off to another short dark haired milker lady who was also not into the whole farm deal. we were then hustled to... more
