Limahuli Garden & Preserve
Limahuli
A branch of the National Tropical Botanical Garden in a North Shore valley, with terraces, native plants and Nāpali mountain scenery. It has been rated among America's best natural gardens.
Limahuli Garden lies in Limahuli Valley in Hāʻena and belongs to the National Tropical Botanical Garden. It preserves stone-walled taro terraces built by ancient Hawaiians. The garden focuses on Hawaiian native plants and plants brought by Polynesian voyagers, and it explains the relationship between plants and island culture. A loop trail of about 1.3 km overlooks the valley and the ocean. Self-guided visits and tours must be booked online in advance. The garden was temporarily closed after Hurricane Lowell in September 2026, so check official notices before you go.
