I’ve been to Maui many times. In the PNW our waters are stunning but ice cold, so in Maui we tend to gravitate to beach activities. But this time I came for work with a friend who was also working & the one thing she’d planned was this Maui Alpaca Tour. It’s not something I would’ve thought to book so I was happy when she told me about it. It did not disappoint! Because this isn’t something I’d never thought of, I’m gonna provide more details so others, who also usually stick to the beaches, will consider this on their next trip to Maui. Our tour included a beautiful lunch beforehand but we were running late & our guide & the owner were so gracious & told us they’d let us enjoy lunch after the tour. There was a family with 2 young boys on our tour which I was delighted about since, again, this isn’t something I’d ever thought to do with my own boys so I LOVED seeing how absolutely captivated they were & how equally attentive our guide, Rebecca, was to us as well as the kids (we’re for sure bringing our boys when we come for our 20th wedding anniversary next July!). Before heading to meet the Alpacas, Rebecca provided lots of cool information about the Alpaca breeds, what their fur is used for, as well as the farm itself. Most importantly she took the time to explain that Alpacas are quite skittish by nature so it’s important that we don’t approach too quick, that they may not even let us pet them & that that’s okay because we want them to feel comfortable in their home, she explained some behaviors to indicate if they’re stressed as well as behaviors that would let us know they feel comfortable enough to let us pet them. Then she explained how & where on their bodies (always on the back/body & never near the face) we may pet them if they indicate that they’re at ease & feeling up to it. She also explained some of the relationship & breeding dynamics taking place at the farm which was so cool! She took us in to meet the ladies who were all so sweet & beautiful! She handed us food bowls to allow the animals to snack while checking US out & we watched for the signs Rebecca explained to us before anyone attempted to pet them- even the kids! Much to our delight, not only did they feel at ease with our group, Sassy (the black Alpaca in my pics) even laid down to allow pets! Our guide explained how special & rare this was so we felt so lucky. There’s a word for this behavior that the guide used but I don’t remember because as soon as I got to pet Sassy my brain was all hearts & rainbows! Lol! After a good amount of time in the pen we headed to meet the Angora Bunnies. Oh my stars were they soft! Once again our guide was thorough in teaching us about the breed, their part on the farm, how their fluffy hair is used, & most importantly the safest way to interact with them & hold them, as bunnies are also skittish. Once we had all the info, we got to snuggle them. I wish you could see the kids being so good while holding them due to the clear instructions the guide gave. You can tell she has kids! The bunnies prefer short snuggles but the one I held nestled onto my chest & we had quite the moment. The owner, Janet, came out to greet us while we were with the bunnies which was a nice gesture! Our guide, also showed us how the fur from both the alpacas & the bunnies can be processed & spun by hand via hands on demonstration. This was especially fascinating for the older boy in our group (maybe 10 yrs old?) & he was absolutely having the best day of his life! At the end is a little gift shop where you can buy souvenirs & even skeins of yarn made from Alpaca or Angora hair (heads up that both are rare & therefore pricey just as a finished sweater, hat, etc would be in a store). I got an Alpaca tree ornament that my kids loved. As I stated earlier, we enjoyed the our lunch at the end of the tour because we ran late. Both Janet & Rebecca took the time to sit with us & chat. So kind! Again, I can’t wait to go back with my boys but this tour is great for all ages!

I've always been a lover of Alpacas so when I saw this place I immediately booked the "Alpaca Trekking" event. Padma, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, fun, and made the whole event interesting! 10/10 she needs a promotion to bunny queen. The whole thing was so great that all my family scheduled a trip there the very next day. If you are a fan of Alpacas, bunnies, or animals in general I would highly suggest visiting here.

Our visit to Maui Alpaca Farm was AWESOME!!!……Padma was the best host ever, she really took the time to show and tell us about everything Alpaca. Our Alpacas Sophie and Sassy were fun to interact with, but it truly was a bonus to love on and learn about their Angora Rabbits. Definitely a Don’t Miss on your trip to the Upcountry of Maui!!!

Phenomenal experience meeting the alpacas it was therapeutic and so much fun! As a bonus surprise we also met four angora bunnies who are all named after Disney princesses 👑 And it was incredibly educational with our guide Joy who is a local and she showed us how fibers can be harvested and be turned into yarn with hand powered tools. I have to also point out that our guide Joy took the time to make the portable potty super clean and pleasant before we arrive and this attention to detail is super appreciated. Thank you Janet and Joy!

This was my favorite activity we did on Maui! We had such a wonderful time meeting the girls (Alpacas) and bunnies ! I loved getting to try my hand at spinning yarn and hearing all about the farm. Petting the softest baby alpaca was the best part 🥰 I even bought some yarn made from one of my new friends ! Highly highly highly recommend this unique and delightful experience.

This was highlight of our trip for my mom and kids (ages 15, 13). Learned so much fascinating facts about alpacas and angora bunnies. My mom wanted to stay longer and just hold the bunny. And seeing what goes into making a hat was so cool. I bought a very soft and adorable hat made from angora. Picnic lunch was delicious and so well laid out. Definitely would do again!

My 5 year-old daughter and I had a fantastic time at Maui Alpacas this past week! The farm grounds are absolutely beautiful. Our guide, Erin was very informative and kind- she told us all about the alpacas and angora bunnies they raise. We got to feed & pet the alpacas, who were super sweet and gentle. The angora bunnies were really cute and soft. Erin also showed us how they make yarn from their fur. It was a great experience- so happy we were able to visit!

I booked the picnic tour for a business team building activity and everyone on my team LOVED it! The food was great and plentiful and the Maui Alpaca team was so great with the animals and the humans in the group. It was so fun get up close and personal with the animals and learn more about them in a beautiful peaceful environment!
