Farm Tours

What We Love Now

BY Krystal Kakimoto

Located on O‘ahu’s North Shore, three generations of the Little family dedicate their time to the world's most extensive collection of rare, hybrid plumeria and share their fragrant treasures. What started in 1973 as a hobby for Jim Little has now blossomed into a thriving business spanning 20 acres of farmland, which is home to a variety of plumeria cultivars, many of which were developed by Jim Little himself. Farm tours are offered from April through October. During the one-hour guided farm tour, guests are taken in small groups through the winding paths of the colorful flowering trees and nursery plots. Along the way, guides explain the distinct stages of growth and the differences between the diverse types of plumeria plants. The tour ends with guests picking a few flowers and appreciating the unique scent each variety offers. Another memorable way to experience the farm is through the Sunset Lei Making experience, which is held on Tuesday and Friday evenings from April to October. During this 1.5-hour experience, guests begin with a stroll through the plumeria trees, where they pick flowers that they will craft into a handmade lei while learning about their cultural significance. The group gathers near sunset to string their lei while taking in the panoramic views of the mountain and sea. Whether you are a plant lover, photographer, or someone who enjoys stopping to smell the flowers, the tours and experiences offered at Little Plumeria Farms are both vibrant and inspiring.
