  Go for the water or go for the plants you will have a good time. My wife and I are nerdy and we went for the botanic gardens and spent nearly five hours walking around seeing the different types of vegetation well-placed name cards are all over to show you the names of the plants as well as a guide that you can take with you. There are stations along the way where people teach you about crafts and activities of the ancient Hawaiians we were lucky to meet a fun Auntie there well worth the time and money spent.
