The area was once used to cultivate crops and orchards, including taro, sweet potato, and bananas. Today, the park boasts more than 5,000 plants from around the world, along with individual gardens dedicated to Guam, Madagascar, the Seychelles, and more.

  The self guided tour was very easy so no need for audio. Facility is clean and very well maintained. I got a real feel of the culture. The guy who make the weapons by hand had the greatest stories and was funny. The waterfall was amazing and well worth the hike. Close second were the two ladies singing Hawaiian songs. They were really good!

  This is such a beautiful place to hike or take the shuttle up to. The view is breathtaking and beautful. To see and appreciate this gorgeous creation that nature has created, you really need to see it in person.. You can swim in the water and even under the waterfall.. It is free and so worth the hike.. The shuttle is $10.00 for a ride up and down.. I really love this peaceful beautiful place.
