This was my last activity in Kaua'i before going home, and I am so glad I left it till last, to end on a high note. The gardens itself were amazing, the food and chocolate tasting was even better, but the guide was the best part! My tour guide Sherry was so passionate and full of knowledge, which made the tour very worthwhile and so much more enjoyable. Could not have asked for a better guide and tour. Definitely a must visit

The views were amazing. This was a great spot to unwind I honestly wish I could go every day. Bring bug spray. The mosquitoes are real here. That's just nature for you.

This tour is worth every penny. You think three hours is going to feel too long but it flies by. The gardens are one of the most beautiful sites I’ve ever seen, I could have stayed forever. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about every plant she discussed.

Paul was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable in native and non native and invasive species of foliage on the island. The tour was quite exceptional. A garden of Eden.

It was amazing to get to taste Hawaii. Our tour guide, Lisa, was knowledgeable about the plants and history of Hawaii. It was one of our favorite experiences on our family trip.

Jaye T

This place was a wonderful mix of seeing the beauty of Kauai and tasting yummy chocolate. Our guide was Cheri and she was really knowledgeable about all the plants that resided in the garden and the history behind the property. The guides explained how chocolate is made and we discussed the various chocolates from around the world during the tasting. You also get to taste some fruit the gardens offer throughout the tour. They also had a gift shop that you could buy the chocolate from if you decided to and various other items. It wasn’t that enduring of a hike throughout making it perfect for everybody of all ages. I highly recommend in going.

The garden was amazing and Lisa was very informative. Abigail was very welcoming and the whole team (sorry, I forgot the gentlemans name as he wasn’t our guide, but very personable), did a wonderful job. They’ve thought of everything to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Panchos, umbrellas and repellent were made available. It was raining, so we needed a pancho ($2.00). The chocolate tasting and the on trail fruit samples fantastic. Be ready to hike. The grounds have been thoughtfully prepared. As a someone with a little construction background. I saw that the concrete was poured with no slipping grooves in mind, the steps were comfortably placed. However, the elevation changes are significant so use the handrails and watch your step anyway and you’ll be fine. Overall, a great experience.
