My husband and I went to their farm tour on a Saturday morning and it was so much fun. Their hospitality and kindness is truly unmatched and we felt that even before we got there. We were having some issues with our rental car that we weren't sure if we were going to make it. But when I called they were so accommodating and helpful. What started as a rough morning turned into the highlight of our trip. The farm is owned and operated by a family that pours so much love and hard work into these flowers. They shared a vast amount of knowledge about the beautiful plumeria that had us taking personal notes we just didn't want to forget. At the end of the tour you get to immerse yourself and walk through the plumeria that overlook an amazing view of the North Shore shoreline. If you are a lover of the Plumeria or just want to learn and smell the most beautifully fragrant flower there is please make this farm a stop the next time you're in Oahu. We will definitely be back to do their Lei Making Tour.

This was my first time visiting and my family and I were all amazed by the beautiful varieties of plumeria. The presentation was very informative and the time we were able to stroll on the land was scenic and offered beautiful views. I am thankful they keep their tour groups small as it provides a more personal experience. Every staff member here was so kind, happy, and helpful. We purchased three plumeria cuttings today. For my next visit to Hawaii I will definitely be returning here again to purchase more.

We visited the botanical garden today as a family, but unfortunately, it was below our…read moreexpectations. It is nice that the entrance is free, but the garden was not as well maintained as we had hoped. There was not a lot of area to explore, and the experience felt more like a walk through a forest rather than a traditional botanical garden. That being said, it can still be a peaceful place to relax, enjoy a quiet coffee, read a book, or simply spend some time away from the city. It is a nice spot for unwinding, but it may not be the best choice if you are looking for a well-developed botanical garden experience.

I especially love seeing the monsteras crawling on the trees, and the tall bamboo garden. The cherry blossom trees here are also my favorite place to visit when it is spring in Hawaii :). This place is one of the locations where you can view cherry blossoms. I don't usually frequent this area since it's a bit out of the way but the views and beautiful plants are worth it! Definitely bring walking shoes because this was actually a work out...Felt like I was in Jurassic Park - I was having fun jumping on rocks and stuff but I decided not to go too deep into the jungle of this botanical garden this time because I didn't want to get my shoes *dirty* I am very particular on keeping my shoes looking good...
