A very nice half day. There is a tour of the dairy and, especially, the goats. The people who operate the diary are obviously devoted to doing it right. They love the goats, they love the area and they love the cheese they make. The lunch available is fairly priced and very pleasant. It is out of the way from... More

A quick tour that is informative and kid-friendly. The samples afterward are excellent. Plan to buy some goodies for snacks later. Friendly up-country people who take the time to give you some real aloha. More

A beautiful part of the island away from the typical tourist traps. Loved every part of this quaint little goat farm...except the price was a little steep for their 20 min tour -- $10 per person seemed a bit much. The goat cheese samplers were great and our 3 year old daughter loved feeding the goats their grains. More

This place is really worth the stop while on an Upcountry road trip. We arrived just before opening time at 10 am and were treated with open arms by the wonderful Ranch Hands. What a great laid back place to visit. We actually made breakfast out of our visit, with the full sample plate and a meat and bread platter.... More

It's fun and funky, and great to sample. They now have goat cheese truffles, but they seemed a little pricey, so we didn't get any to try. The basil herb and olive oil cheeses are our favorites, and we got a frozen container of the basil herb to take home, on their recommendation. Kept in the freezer at our condo... More

We love goat cheese, so we decided to check Surfing Goat Dairy out. It was great! There is a free goat cheese sampling of 4 cheeses. After that, we decided to order a sampler to try more flavors. The goat cheese with sun dried tomatoes and the mango goat cheese were awesome! Some were really interesting, like the goat cheese... More

Great stop, we tasted cheeses and their chocolate truffles, purchased some cheeses to enjoy on the beach at sunset and some to take home. Then headed to the winery. More

A little out of the way but well worth the drive, I enjoyed a 6 taste flight of goat cheese. Ended up purchasing a slice of the lilikoi cheesecake - so tiny and not as tasty as expected, also enjoyed the basic goat cheese, the Sicilian - delicious - and the garlic chive blend was perfect on a baked potato....

We headed out to the Surfing Goat Dairy earlier this year than we did back in 2010 - learned from our last visit that to enjoy the cheese you need to have more than 1 day left on island! We made it a part of our 'upcountry day' as we wouldn't go all the way out here for just the... More
