4.5Limahuli Garden and Preserve(718 reviews) - Worth the time and money Wednesday: 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Gardens
If you love nature, you will appreciate this preserve. They provide a booklet that describes the items along the path. I especially appreciated learning about how they have preserved native plants from the interior of the island that are near extinction and impact of immigration to the island. A reservation is a must, as parking and access is limited.See more..
