A Maui tropical plantation is seen from across a blue green pond: palm trees swaying in the breeze, blue skies with fluffy white clouds, and lush hillsides rising into the background make this scene almost cliche–but it is so beautiful that cliche is replaced by a sense of place and longing to be there.
Plantations like this dot the coast along the West Maui Mountains and fill the hillsides of Haleakala. Maui majors in sugar cane, but one can also find pineapple, coffee, lavender, and more in this tropical paradise.
