Where in Hawaii to find choose-and-cut Christmas tree farms, pre-cut trees, stands, sleigh rides, hay rides and related winter events and fun!

Whether you want to cut your own tree, pick a live tree and have it cut for you, buy a tree already cut or buy a living tree you can plant, this page provides detailed listings of Hawaii's choose-and-cut Christmas tree farms, places to buy pre-cut (also called pre-harvested and fresh-cut) trees, stands, sleigh rides, hay rides and related winter events and fun. Some listings are for tree farms, others are tree lots, and some only offer hay rides, sleigh rides or other winter events. READ EACH LISTING to know what each facility offers. The farms are listed further down this page, so scroll down the page! I'm always looking for more to add, and to correct any inaccuracies or errors, so if you encounter any, please email me!

Tips:

If the name of the farm is blue with an underline; that's a link to their website. Click on it for the most current hours and information.
ALWAYS call the farm or store BEFORE YOU GO to confirm their supply, their hours and whether they have trees, are allowing choose-and-cut or just precut trees; and which attractions or winter activities are available. All three can change during the short Christmas season, due to weather, demand and the farmer's business conditions! Farms get sold, shut down or run out of trees, and I have no way of knowing, because I can't call or visit every farm every month, let alone every day. For more tips to make your trip fun and successful, click here! DON'T DRIVE OUT THERE IF YOU CAN'T REACH THEM BY PHONE OR EMAIL!
And please tell the farmer you visit in Hawaii that you found their farm here! I need the farmers to realize that you found them here so that they will keep their information up to date!

Now there IS a cut-your-own tree farm in Hawaii. AND, there is a Christmas tree ship. Yep, a Ship. Refrigerated container ships started crossing the Pacific in the 1960's. Now, usually on Thanksgiving day, a ship arrives with trees. Still, many Hawaiians use Norfolk Island pines, which are common there (although they were not native - they came from another South Pacific island).

Many visit local nurseries and pick their choice of Norfolk Island Pines from the native crops. Others buy potted specimens to decorate and illuminate. A few even poach them from local forest reserves.

Helemano Farms in Wahiawa - cut your own Christmas tree
At the end of Whitmore Avenue , Wahiawa, HI, Phone: 808-622-4287 . They have 15,000 Norfolk Pines, feathery Leland Cypress and rounded Monterey Bay Pines. The trees range in height up to 15 feet, priced from $30 to $80. Call for hours and directions. Notes: although the branches of the Norfolk Pine are spaced farther apart than other species, the trees are hypoallergenic and the needles don't shed; lasting a much longer time than other trees. A visitor writes: "We are a military family stationed in Hawaii. Originally from Washington State we are accustomed to cutting down our own FRESH Christmas tree every year, so when we moved to Hawaii we thought we were going to be stuck with getting a fake tree like everyone else here. We were so happy to find Helemano Farms last year after searching the internet. The farm is near the Dole Pineapple Plantation and the family is very helpful in assisting with cutting down the tree and loading them in the car. We highly recommend this farm. The trees are beautiful and last for a very long time. Here is a link to a newspaper article from last year. Very happy to find your website. We were looking for a pumpkin patch and you showed us that there are 3. Thank you so much. "
