We stopped at the lavender farm while we were in upcountry on the way to Maui Wine. It is a beautiful farm with fantastic, breathtaking views. There is a small entrance fee, but we had a coupon from a local travel guide that offered us free entry. We took a walk around the gardens, took photos and went shopping! We bought quite a bit in the gift shop and especially loving the honey and aromatherapy spray. You can do as little or as much as you would like at this farm.

We visited the lavender farm and found it to be a mixed experience at best. The good: wonderful views and great gift shop, and the grounds are very pleasant to walk around. The bad: the infrastructure for this place is just atrocious, including awful parking that is heavily sloped, poorly designed, insufficient, and barely paved. This is definitely NOT a place for those with mobility issues such as use of a scooter. Okay to visit once but would certainly not go back.

I visit this farm every time I come to Maui. It is an absolute delight to spend an hour or so wandering the paths through these gardens. There are some amazing species of horticulture here besides the lavender fields. Many of the lavender fields have just been replanted, but some were still in bloom.
Their store limits the shopping experience to ten people in the shop at one time, but that was the best way to not feel overcrowded. The hot tea with lavender honey (for only $3 a cup—what?!? A deal in Hawaii!) was delicious. Any merchandise can be purchased in the store or online (if you think you are running out of room in your luggage by now!).
They are only open a few days a week, so plan ahead, and consider getting there right as they open. You might catch some hang gliders just outside the gardens. And, they have special parking for early birds while you wait for the farm to open. We visited on our way up to Haleakalā National Park and we’re able to comfortably do both adventures in one day.

I was expecting more Lavender for it being named so. It was a huge garden, they didn’t charge the entrance fee the day I went, if you like flowers / gardening I’m sure you’ll love this area. Does have a great view but I was disappointed overall.

I would rate this a zero. For a farm that specializes in lavender, a calming oil and scent, the staff is completely rude and unfriendly. We arrived at 3:40 along with two other groups And the nasty woman at the gate only let the two groups ahead of us in and told us to leave. We were about 30 seconds behind them because i got something out of my bag.

We arrived before they opened and while waiting, watched paraglides sail off the mountain behind the Lavender farm. What a fun bonus. Once inside, we took a picture of the map of farm and began our wander. The gardens are laid out like an English garden, but felt more relaxed than those. We enjoyed the walk and many varied plants. Several types of lavender were beginning to bloom, but many other plants were blooming. This was a lovely peaceful morning excursion. I’m happy we went early, a van of tourists arrived halfway through our wander and it wasn’t as peaceful then. The gift shop was lovely.
I would have enjoyed a guided tour with someone who could tell us more about the plants, I knew some, but not all.

Beautiful lavender farm and gardens. There is a small admission fee but it’s worth it to see the lavender growing and walk in the fields and gardens. The farm is on a hillside so there are hills to walk but lots of opportunities to rest and take photos. Cute gift shop with coffee and refreshments made with lavender. The gate attendant was very kind to us on our motorcycles and let us park at the top of the entrance.

We went February 22, 2020. It was a nice drive; although a bit chilly once we got there due to elevation. Not a lot of lavender blooms this time of year, but enough to get to learn about the different varieties! Our tour guide was great and gave us clippings which I took back to the condo ad put in water. It was wonderful exploring the gardens and seeing the views. Also, the scones with real butter are as good as they say! From someone who didn’t know a lot about lavender, but loves to explore plants and gardens, this was a great inexpensive afternoon activity! (About $10 a person for the tour).

I wish we would have had more time. We had to be somewhere after coming off Haleakala so we were rushed. We knew we wouldn't have enough time to walk the grounds so we quickly went to the gift shop to buy scones for the next morning and lavender gifts. They only allowed a certain number of people in the shop at one time. I also got a lavender lemonade which was delicious.

Ok, this is a sleeper destination activity. Why an activity due to the amount of walking around the property to see all the different plants and flowers. This place on the hill, high up from the beaches is cooler in temperature due to the altitude. Great place to take a picnic lunch as there are many benches to take in the views.
Fabulous, a word that I don’t use often, gardens and many paths dot the property. One of the islands best values. A must go if you like botanical gardens.
Yes there is lavender plants there also plus lots of lavender products for purchase.

Is this something you have you have to purchase tickets for or is it a more self guided tour? Do we need to plan ahead or can we just swing by?

You can just swing by. Once you get there, you can pay for a guided tour. In my opinion, it was nicer to walk around at our own pace. There is a small entrance price to park.

Are lavender blooming now
Here at AKL Maui we are lucky to have certain varieties of lavender in bloom year-round. The peak of the season where the big lavender fields bloom is limited to mid-summer, June-August , and the beginning part of September. At this time, we do have a lot of French and Spanish Lavender that are blooming :)
There are also many varieties of other plants and flowers to be found as well.

Allow at least an hour but I agree with the other responder--this isn't worth a special trip. Makawao is a cute town to visit and the surfing goat dairy is anothe fun diversion if you head up country.
