This off-the-beaten-path sanctuary offers something genuinely special for animal lovers visiting Maui. Guests consistently praise the knowledgeable and patient tour guides, particularly Danielle, who shares the rescue stories behind each animal while introducing visitors to guinea pigs, tortoises, turkeys, goats, cats, chickens, and more. The $50 tour includes time to interact with the animals afterward, and many visitors mention staying well past the official tour to cuddle with the residents and explore the stunningly beautiful grounds filled with native plants. The property radiates serenity and peacefulness, with reviewers calling it "magical" and "a piece of heaven on earth." Families appreciate how welcoming the experience is for kids, and even volunteering opportunities are available. The animals are clearly well-cared for and friendly, creating memorable encounters that guests say they can't stop talking about. One traveler noted difficulty reaching them by phone, so booking ahead with some patience might be necessary. Overall, this sanctuary stands out as a heartfelt operation where rescued animals receive genuine love and care.
This was a cool experience off the beaten path. These animals are all rescues that are cared for by volunteers and the owner of the property. For $50 each they take you on a tour of the property and teach you about the animals and where they were rescued from. Then they allow you to stay and meet the animals and spend time with them. Ample parking, portable bathroom in the parking lot. There were guinea pigs, tortoises, turkeys, cats, goats, chickens and more.
