What To Expect

Limahuli Garden and Preserve

Ancient terraces, ancient wisdom, life and relationships with the land, the forest, and the water… the stories unfold as you open your guidebook and make your way through this special place. Envision what the valley might have looked like when the first Hawaiians arrived as you follow the path through the native forest walk. Discover the plants that traveled with them in their canoes and how their culture was inseparable from the plants that sustained them. Contemplate the impact of plant invaders and learn what is being done today to protect fragile ecosystems. Ascend to the Whale Trail and take in the dramatic panorama of the ocean. Feel the spirit of Limahuli.

Wonderful guide book and labeled trees and flowers make a satisfying self guided tour. The garden is built on the mountainside, so be prepared for some strenuous paths. Take a water bottle or the paper cups offered at check-in. Online reservations only as parking is very limited. Best closeup view of Makana, or Bali Hai.

Magical valley garden, highlighting ancient farming village, and using canal system in place for centuries. A highlight of our week on Kauai. A real escape from traffic and crowded tourist attractions and excellent history of Polynesian and Hawaiian peoples. A long climb up the mountain, on lovely paths, with steps and railings where needed. Spectacular mountain and ocean views.

The gardens are beautiful! The path is easy enough and short enough for little kids. They had fun running around the gardens and the views from the top are amazing! We could hear the huge waves crashing on the beach FAR below. The signs explaining the plants are informative and entertaining. Highly recommend! Bring your bug spray!
