The botanical garden is set in a tropical valley in the shadow of Makana Mountain that towers over the area. Limahuli Gardens gives you the opportunity to experience a living history of sorts as you view native plants, plants that were introduced by the Polynesian settlers and by westerners. You’ll walk through lava rock terraces built by Limahuli’s first inhabitants and see the taro that still thrives there. You’ll see plants such as mango, kava, tumeric and sugar. There are benches located along the ¾-mile trail that allows you to take in the extraordinary views and scenery. Limahuli Garden is a part of the National Tropical Botanical Garden, which focuses on conservation and education efforts in restoring the native ecosystem.
