Maui Butterfly Farm

This family-friendly experience has become a standout attraction for visitors of all ages. The passionate, knowledgeable guides lead small group tours that last about an hour, taking guests through the complete butterfly lifecycle from egg to chrysalis to butterfly. What makes it special is the hands-on nature of the experience—visitors hold flowers and watch butterflies land on their fingers to feed, and sometimes the butterflies even perch on shoulders and hair. Guests consistently mention learning far more than expected while having genuine fun. The staff earns particular praise for their enthusiasm and expertise, creating an educational yet magical atmosphere. Parents report that toddlers and young children were completely captivated, though adults found it equally memorable. The farm showcases monarchs and swallowtails, and you might even witness a caterpillar forming its chrysalis. Located conveniently next to a fruit stand, it's positioned well for combining with other stops. Reviewers recommend bringing cash for tips and booking online in advance, with many calling it one of their favorite Maui memories worth every dollar.
