Owner description:
Ahonui Botanical Gardens is a family owned and operated garden paradise located in the Princeville area of Kaua'i. The Robertson Family, with the help of their close gardening friend, have transformed their 8 acre retirement home into a breathtaking garden with dramatic landscaping in two steep valleys. The Robertsons grow a small cacao (chocolate) grove and process their own homemade dark chocolate. Part of every tour is a short chocolate tasting and lesson on how the family makes their chocolate. The fun, educational tours of the garden include ethnobotanical and medicinal uses of plants, stories and information about native Hawaiian and "canoe" plants, and much more about a diverse collection of species from around the world.Visits to our garden are by APPOINTMENT ONLY. "Drop-ins" will be turned away and asked to book a reservation on one of our guided tours. Please call us before visiting.

Owner description:
BY APPOINTMENT ONLY!!! Rejuvenate, Relax and Be Healthy "The Best Massage in Kauai"! About Us: Our business was officially established in Kauai, Hawaii in 1994 after completing massage certification program. My knowledge of healing arts goes back to my childhood in the Philippines where my grandfather of Chinese descent taught me the ancient art of Hilot combined with Chinese techniques which he inherited from the old country. I attended healing arts and massage school in Manila, where I graduated with top honors and worked in some of the major spas before leaving for Hawaii where I established my own private business in the Island of Kauai. I use very unique techniques which I learned from my grand father and my very own that I have developed throughout the years.
