July 13, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
Ever thought of visiting a Surfing Goat Dairy?
The name is a bit misleading, as the goats don’t really surf. But Maui’s Surfing Goat Dairy makes for a fun visit for the younger guests to the Valley Isle.
Located in Kula, on the slopes of Haleakala, the Surfing Goat Dairy is home to some 140 goats that graze the farm’s 42 acres. Children will enjoy the two-hour Grand Dairy Tour, which lets them become a goat herder and try to milk a goat.
Children can also play with the goats during the tour, while older visitors can learn how the farm’s various cheeses are made.
A tour highlight? Visitors can sample the different cheeses. They’ll find that they are a big improvement from the cheese they find at their local grocery stores.
For tourists in more of a hurry, the Surfing Goat Dairy also offers more casual tours that last about 20 minutes. These tours, which cost just $7 a person, are quick and fun.
The Surfing Goat Dairy has long been an institution in Maui. The farm makes 24 different cheeses on site, and it makes these tasty creations every day.
Needless to say, there are plenty of cheeses for sale. Visitors can also indulge in some free samples. Those not hungry can purchase bars of goat-milk soap.
The Surfing Goat Dairy proves that Maui isn’t only about surfing, beaches, golf and hiking. There are steam train rides, pineapple plantations to tour and inspiring film festivals to take in.
There are many treasures hidden on this island. Tourists just need to keep their eyes open to discover them.
Go visit the Surfing Goat Dairy!
