Description:

Kauai’s nickname is “The Garden Isle” for its lush-green meadows, tropical rainforests, verdant valleys, and fertile botanical gardens. Venture to the National Tropical Botanical’s Allerton Garden and tour the prehistoric-looking terrain that set the backdrop to the Jurassic Park Hollywood films.

From the visitor center, journey through scenic vistas on a tram to the Allerton Garden—Kauai’s best-kept hidden treasure on the cliffs of the Lawai Valley and the grounds of Queen Emma’s (wife of King Kamehameha IV) mid-1800s summer cottage and retreat. Surrounded by the queen’s favorite, deep-purple bougainvillea, the landscape is masterfully designed to showcase a variety of charming, native plants. As you explore the one-mile path, your knowledgeable guide spouts history and trivia of the surrounding tropical plants and Hawaiian culture.

Take a moment to admire the massive trees featured in the Jurassic Park films, and listen to the vocal exotic birds. Along the curving roots you find golden bamboo, palm trees, native heliconia, and tropical gingers. Stroll through the outdoor quarters beside flowing pools and European-inspired sculptures, and learn about the royal monarchy that once ruled the Hawaiian Islands.
