The experienced and knowledgeable staff at Maui Animal Farm ensure that all farm visitors leave knowing more about the various animals and the important roles they play than they did coming in.
The general Petting Zoo Tour is a good option for small parties or those who don’t mind touring with others they don’t know. This tour includes an opportunity for guests to hold the cuddly bunnies and guinea pigs on pillows on their laps. They can also brush and pet the baby Nigerian Dwarf goats named Ben & Jerry and learn about resident parakeets Eenie, Meenie, Miney, and Moe.
Next up, guests on the farm tour will be able to pet and feed the miniature horses named Rebel & Kisses, Baby Doll, and the miniature donkey named Elsia Me. The ram and sheep part of the tour includes a look at Ramses the resident ram. Guests will also learn the difference between sheep and goats and get to feed them.
Tours will also include a chicken coop stop where guests can meet and feed the chickens and learn interesting facts about roosters, chickens, and their eggs. Guests will even get to see different colors and sizes of eggs. The duck stage comes up next where they can meet the Maui Animal Farm Muscovy Duck, named Duck Vader along with his friend Ringo Star. Watch them waddle and feed them!
Finish up the tour by meeting and feeding the Kune Kune Pig Hauoli. Guests can even help give the pig a bath with a hose. Don’t forget about the rare red-footed tortoise’s Hunk, Louie, and Yoshi or the Sulcata Desert tortoises named Elis, Mrs. T., Torit, and Honu. Last but certainly not least, visit Tonka the 140lb tortoise.
The Private Petting Zoo Tour is another option to enjoy the farm and gives you the ability to tour on your own. It is designed for large parties. You can opt for this instead if your party is large enough. The itinerary as far as the experience goes, petting, feeding, and observing are pretty similar for both tours.
In addition to tours, Maui Animal Farm also offers birthday parties. The standard price includes 16 guests, but at least 16 more guests can be added to the booking page. This private birthday party, in addition to the standard tour itinerary, includes the use of the open-air barn or picnic tables, which feature panoramic views of the ocean and mountains.
The overarching mission of Maui Animal Farm is to have guests arrive as strangers but leave as friends. They also want to make guests smile and create one of the most memorable family experiences that will be forever cherished, along with the photos that are taken throughout the tour.
