We also feature hundreds of lowland rainforest species of flowers,shrubs,and ground covers as well.We began this project in1991 with 30 acres of densely overgrown jungle, now after investing more than 20yrs of physical labor and 2 million dollars, we have created one of Hawaii's most visited botanical gardens. We have many plants found nowhere else or are uncommon to Hawaii, such as rare Amazon fruits and medicinal species, endangered hardwoods, spice, exotic nut trees, ferns and so much more...A botanical Disneyland with over 2 miles of maintained graveled walking trails...A truly educational facility with over 700 plants botanically labeled. Try to allow at least 45 minutes to explore.We feature great views and photo opportunities but no direct access to the waterfall or pools.If you are only interested in restrooms (we now have improved facilities) You can do so for free 2 miles down the road.A portion of your entry fee is donated to the nature conservatory. The cost to keep our gate open averages $1,000/dy so we sincerely thank you for your support,,,especially those who have contributed beyond our entry fee. Most botanical gardens have teams of volunteers and use chemicals to curb costs. Our entire staff are well paid professionals, and we are almost entirely a chemical free park. Thank you for visiting, we do take your comments to heart « less

My girlfriend and I vacationed in Maui from June 9th-16th. We did the Hana Road on the 13th, the road/journey itself was great and breathtaking, and was using the "Lonely Planet" travel guide book, 2013 edition for references, and it mentioned the "Garden of Eden" and how Jurassic park was filmed there for a few scenes and etc. So interested...

We had driven the Road to Hana many times, but had never stopped here before. This time we stopped, and are glad we did. For $15 each you can drive through the park and see exquisite flowers and plant life. Then you can walk the many paths, and see the beautiful scenery up close. We spent about an hour there,... More

Beautiful plants and view of waterfalls & rock on coast. Admission may be negotiable as we only paid $10 apiece. Walk is easy.

We really enjoyed our stroll through this garden. The fee was a bit higher than what some might want to pay but I think it is worth it. It was a great way to spend a couple of hours. Don't forget your quarters so you can feed the birds from the candy/bird seed dispenser. That was my highlight. Also stop... More

As we were driving along Road to Hana, we decided to pull up and and check this place. Pros: 1. Exotic birds and plants in the lovely garden. 2. Scenic view from the Keopuka Rock. 3. Not much of the waterfall to see and its quite far as well. Cons: 1. Entry of $15 per head is way steep!

It was a nice trip but not sure I would do it again. It is very expensive, and when you are on the road tou don't want to take 2 hours to really enjoy the park and the flowers so it is a little bit distracting with all of the other interesting things to do. My kids loved feeding the... More

This is a lovely garden with plenty of plants and wildlife to see, very well maintained with lovely views, but we thought the $15 per person entry fee was a bit expensive. There is a fabulous view of the waterfall, but do not go to the gardens just for this view, because it can be seen from the road.

You can tell that the folks who run this place love their plants. People, I think, are a necessary evil. The grounds are extensive and the site on Maui's mountainous windward side is spectacular. The price is at the high end of what the traffic will bear and, in view of the fact that you can grow anything here, the... More

This is a beautiful garden but the price put a sour taste in our mouths. We had misunderstood the entrance brief and thought the Puohokamoa Falls were in the garden but there aren't. They are in fact two bends further down the road in the Hana direction. Beautiful falls and perfect for swimming in, for free!

Most of the $15.00 per adult entry fee is used to support our 30 acres of Botanical Gardens and nearly 3 miles of trails that are maintained like no others on the island. You will find because of our very unique location and elevation, our views simply cannot be seen from anywhere else. Hundreds of plant species are labeled throughout... More
