Day 11 - Surfing Goats - Not Really!


Hiking and the thin air caused all of us to gain a deep hunger. It took us quite a bit of time to get down from the summit, so we had plenty of time to look up where we wanted to eat. After a little research, we all agreed on the Kula Lodge. It had a great mountain view overlooking the ocean villages. The grounds of the place were sprawled with a plethora of tropical flowers and bushes. Far better than the lavender farms flora we saw the other day.

The restaurant had outside seating that was somewhat unique. They had seven round tables, with covered gazebos stacking differently along one of their floral paths. Topping the path, was a brick fire oven where they cooked the pizzas. They had me at the fire oven, so LT and I ordered one of their pizzas. Olivia got a Maui Onion Soup, along with a salad and Anna did the same minus the soup.

When in Kula – order a lime pie! I think that is a saying – anyway if not, it was this afternoon. The pie was yummy! Once we shoved the pie in our pie holes, we hopped across the parking lot to their general store where we picked up a few things.


Back on the road and off we went to go watch Surfing Goats - not really! But we did go visit the Surfing Goats Dairy farm. We didn’t need to drive far as it was only around 6 miles away. We attempted to go to the place on the 4th, but they ended up being closed for the holiday. Today, however, they were opened.




We opted for the 3:30pm tour, otherwise known as the “Goat Milking Tour”. Everyone had a ball! The highlight was – you guessed it – milking the goats. Each of us spent a couple of moments pulling on the tit! Did a little taste testing and then we were off to the races – feeding time – another highlight! We had a great time at the farm!
