A Great couple hour walk with a very good written guide. Interesting hawaiian legends and plants uses in the guide. Gorgeous scenery well worth the visit. Reservations are needed small parking lot which means not crowded.

Highly recommend doing the GUIDED tour of this fabulous gem. The tour guide is knowledgable and really did an astounding job at describing the plants and their role in the Kauai ecosystem. We left understanding the Kauai flora and how invasive plants are affecting the environment of this beautiful island. Highly highly recommend this garden and its guided tour.

I booked the guided tour for this place which turned out to be the best idea ever! Nancy was our tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable about the plants and histories of Kauai and Hawaii. She shared legends and talked about the different types of plants as well as how they arrived at the island if they were brought by Polynesians. In addition, she pointed out extremely rare species. Advisory: there are a lot of steps going through the gardens and up the hills, so this is not ADA friendly. With that said, the Gardens provide walking sticks to be utilized on the tour and returned afterwards. We had several elderly people in our group that utilized them, but again, a lot of stairs! I highly recommend visiting.

Went on the guided tour through Limahuli. Our guide Freddy was great. Had great information and stories. Nice very informative book is provided at the end of the tour. The gardens on Kauai are special places. I would definitely recommend the guided over self guided Freddy makes it very enjoyable.

Fun to walk through and learn the history of the Hawaiians and occasional mixing of visiting Polynesian cultures. How they influenced what the island looks like today and utilized the resources of the island. Learned about land marks and cultural significance to populations indigenous to the island. Learned a lot about what is/isn't invasive on the island. Changed some of how I saw the island. Made it fun to identify plants on hikes that I went on after visiting this preserve!

Superb collection of native indigenous plants of Kauai and the Hawaiian Islands Beautifully done. It’s located at the far end of SR 50 past Hanalei. Make a reservation if you want to visit. Well worth a visit.

A special botanical garden where you can learn more about the original inhabitants of Kauai and how they lived in nature. Beautifully landscaped, in which it is chosen to bring back the native vegetation as much as possible. Impressive. Compliments for the very informative, easy-to-read guide you get when you visit this garden. Nice to read again at home.
