Susan M BakerSeptember 23, 2013This place is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G...if you have the chance to go run don't walk...not to be missed...its very tropical, a jungle with amazing vistas of the ocean tucked away inside
Stephen CMay 22, 2016$15/adult. For $5, a golf cart assists cane-walkers down/up the steep, 300-foot boardwalk. Flowers! Orchids, ginger, cats whiskers, firecrackers.
- eric bornemannJuly 4, 2023Stunningly beautiful garden with amazing plants and views by the ocean. However, it’s enraging and stupid that they won’t let you hike down to the beach. Asinine really.
- Brian DuncanJanuary 15, 2015Really lovely. Worth a season pass if you are a local. Don't miss the hiking trails near the ocean.

- Xiaoyi ZhongJanuary 3, 2013Make sure to spray bug spray before getting out of the car, you get attacked as soon as the car door opens. Off! works really well.
- Chris SutterJuly 14, 2016This is a "must go" location while on the Big Island! It's between Hakalau Vacation Rental in Hakalau and Hilo.
James DrageApril 20, 2015The parking lot is 10-15 degrees warmer than the trail. Bring an extra layer.
ChristieJuly 4, 2012One of my favorite places in the world! This garden has everything. Just beautiful.
Jennifer ChangOctober 11, 2011By the shoreline there is black & green sand. Worth the walk down there. Its steep but paved.
