Transportation
The “Moloa’a Fruit Stand” bus stop is less than a 15 minute walk from the farm. The bus leaves every hour. Since there is only one main road, it is very easy to get around the island.

When you arrive, you can either take the bus that will bring you right to the fruit stand near the farm, or a pick you up from the airport can be arranged for you.
