Nicole was a great tour guide to the inner and outer workings of the SGD!! It was refreshing to find out the goats that stay, get to live their lives out in goat comfort! Loved the Golden Girls pasture! When I get to be an old goat, I'd like to retire here!! And of course, the babies were precious!!

We went to the goat farm today because I heard it was a great thing to do for my 3 yo twins. They loved the goats, but the staff basically could care less that we were there. It is $10 per person for the adults, and at first that was all they said, but then they said $7 per kid... More

Don't bother with the half hourly tour unless your children are with you then, feeding the goats is fun. They are very cute. The real attraction here is the cheese. Oh so, good and Oh so fresh! The second best thing here is the goat milk soaps, Makes your skin feel like silk.... Lovely place go support them, so we... More

We stumbled down from Haleakala in the late afternoon, starving. So we didn't do a tour or anything, but this was a great place for lunch. We had some kind of panini thing (AMAZING) and a tasting platter, and it was really fun. They have a wonderful outdoor space for eating...I only wish we could have had some wine with... More

It was fun to go and test the different goat cheeses but buying a tiny tub to take home was like $8.00. We didn't end up going on the tour. We also bought some very expensive truffles that we thought were just ok. I was with a couple senior citizens so I think the tour with children might be more... More

Don't be deterred by unusual name. Stopped in only becase we were nearby, having gone to the farmer's market in Makawao (great fruit source). This is a totally modern goat cheese operation, with free tasting of their many varieties of young cheeses infused with many combinations of herbs and spices. They also have several varieties of aged cheese. We bought... More

Great history. Beautiful grounds. Limited tastings. Conscientious owners. Stuffed toy goat for my son cost $25. Experienced lots of petting zoos back home, thereby minimizing the aw factor. Tour was expensive for what you get...almost gimmicky. This farm is a major supplier of goat cheese throughout the island and beyond. A vacationer with limited time should seek other venues. Agree...

I went to the Surfing Goat Dairy with my boyfriend and another couple while on vacation in Napili. It was 100% worth the drive. The employees were the friendliest people I encountered on the entire trip. We had an amazing cheese sampler plate, tzatziki with veggies and goat cheese truffles. Delicious!!! We also got to see some kid goats graduate.... More

It is what it is. A goat cheese farm. They have some great and expensive goat cheese and other stuff that can be attributed as coming from a goat. The folks there are very nice and I think that it's worth a drive to find it. Some of the sights along the way are as good as your final destination.
