Arrive early because same-day admission to the garden is included! Take a leisurely walk through the garden and enjoy being surrounded by tropical foliage wherever you look. At the end of the paved path is Waimea Falls. If the conditions permit, you can take a refreshing swim in the natural pond.
After enjoying the botanical garden, it's time to enjoy the traditional Hawaiian luau. Prior to the big feast, watch a variety of cultural presentations and arts & crafts. Then sit down to a mouthwatering dinner featuring island-style foods. Dinner is followed by a spectacular Polynesian revue.
