Was a spectacular experience getting to see the happy farm animals and the passionate care that goes into raising them. Our tour guide was terrific with handling questions and engaging the whole group in petting, feeding, and even holding the animals! Would definitely recommend this experience not just for the delightful animals, but for the love these workers show towards them.

If you are looking for the best family-friendly activities in Maui beyond the beach, Leilani Farm Sanctuary in Haiku-Pauwela is an absolute must-visit. Our family recently took a tour, and it was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our Maui vacation! Nestled in the lush, beautiful landscape of upcountry Maui, this non-profit sanctuary is a true haven for rescued animals and an incredible eco-tourism destination. From the moment we arrived, the peaceful atmosphere and the clear dedication to animal welfare blew us away. It was such a joy to see Nicole, Aria, and Landon light up as we got to interact with the amazing residents. The hands-on experience is incredibly special—we spent our time mingling with sweet goats, friendly pigs, and curious turkeys. We also loved seeing the roaming cats, chickens, elegant swans, and massive tortoises! It is so rare to find a place where you can get up close and personal with such a wide variety of happy, well-cared-for animals in a truly ethical environment. As an educational experience for kids and adults alike, Leilani Farm Sanctuary offers a profound lesson in compassion. The team is knowledgeable, passionate, and shares wonderful stories about the animals' rescue journeys. It’s a fantastic way to support a local Maui non-profit while making unforgettable memories. Whether you are an animal lover, a family looking for meaningful things to do in Maui, or just someone wanting to experience the greener side of the island, do not skip this. Book a tour, make a donation, and prepare for your heart to be incredibly full. Five stars isn't enough!

Really special experience. Such a beautiful place with amazing people caring for it. Danielle was the perfect person to show us all around and introduce us to all the animals and plants on sight. So many reasons to revisit Maui, but this is honestly a huge draw to come back, which says a lot considering all the beauty this island has to offer. So grateful to have experienced this! Definitely would recommend!

Yeah, it makes me feel like I were in the garden of Eden. It was such a unique experience to interact with all the animals. It makes me re- think of an 8 to 5 office job.

What a wonderful tour! I loved meeting and feeding all the animals, especially the adorable baby goat and deer. The farm was absolutely gorgeous and felt like a dream. Laurelee was super knowledgeable about all the animals, and I learned a lot. I will definitely be back!

Laurelee was a knowledgeable and friendly host! The farm is stunning, She has built a beautiful oasis for all these animals and you can tell how much she truly loves and cares about each and every animal. This was such a fun and unique experience. Got to hold cats, chickens, brush a tortoise and feed deer and goats! Would highly recommend this experience, especially for those who also love animals.

Spent 4 days in Maui and this was by far my favorite part. Leilani’s farm is incredible, beautiful, and everything good in the world! Hoping to one day have her exact same set up! Must must must visit in Maui :)

We had such a wonderful experience at this animal sanctuary on Maui. Laurelee was incredibly kind and hospitable, even welcoming us to wander the beautiful property on our own before the tour began. When the rain rolled in, she thoughtfully offered ponchos so we could still enjoy everything comfortably. Hearing Laurelee’s story and how she came to create the sanctuary made the experience even more special. You can truly feel the love and care she has for every single animal. Being welcomed onto her property to spend time loving on the animals was such a unique and memorable experience. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Maui looking for something heartfelt, peaceful, and genuinely special.

The most incredible tour and experience we’ve ever done. From the moment we arrived, this place felt absolutely magical. Looking around and seeing animals so genuinely happy, free roaming, loved, and living their best lives was something really special. We loved getting to see and meet the tortoises, pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, deer, turkeys, geese, swans, cats, and so many more amazing animals. Every single one has their own rescue story and unique journey, which made the experience even more meaningful. You can truly see how loved and cared for they all are. One of the most inspiring parts was meeting Laurelee, the founder and host. Hearing her stories and learning about the incredible work she’s done to rescue and save each of these animals was unforgettable. Her passion and heart shine through in everything she does. You don’t just walk around and look at animals, you get the full experience. We got to pet, hold, and feed so many of them, making it feel incredibly personal!

We had the most beautiful time at the breathtaking, sweet Leilani Animal Farm Sanctuary. It was joyful, miraculous, magical, pure! Truly it’s been on my heart each day! Time truly is relative, because Laurelee and the animals felt like true friends and kindred hearts instantly. And seeing them in such harmony, full of love, together and with us, is indescribable. And we have such gratitude for the immense work and dedication of Laurelee and her wonderful humans. They take such wonderful care of their oasis, and of us as humble, loving visitors. It’s also such a beautiful, eye-opening experience of education and interconnectedness between all living beings, us. And the chance to explore the gorgeous farm, play and cuddle with the animals, to feel like it’s your home from home, oh what a gem. Sending so much love to Laurelee, ‘the kiddos of the sanctuary’ and all kindred hearts! PS: Hi Mr. Sweetiepie! (come meet Sweetiepie, Leah, Henry and all the angels)

We didn’t know what to expect but we’re very pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome from Laurelee. She is the founder, and very passionate about her rescued animals, who she has all named. It is very hands on, you can brush the pigs, hold chickens, geese, all 42 cats. You also feed the free-range guinea pigs carrots, her two deer, and handle quite a few of the animals. It is a great experience for anyone but especially people who never lived near or on a farm. I loved how compassionate Laurelee was and how much she loved each and every one of her animals who are now living on 8 acres in their forever home. After the tour you are welcome to stay as long as you like and continue to enjoy her animals. An added bonus for plant lovers is the beautiful grounds with lots of flowers.
