Na ‘?ina Kai Gardens, Kaui, Hawaii

Na ‘?ina Kai Gardens, Kaui, Hawaii

This artistic and horticultural vision displays the founders strong love for the land and the people of the tropics.

The gardens span 240 acres and is a living mosaic of 13 diverse and bounteous gardens with a hardwood plantation, a moss and fern draped canyon and a pristine sandy beach between a meadow and the waters of the Pacific Ocean.

The Na ‘?ina Kai, "Lands by the Sea" in Hawaiian, continually evolves.  It showcases the particular rare palette of flora, fauna, land, water and climate. 

There are also more than 90 bronze sculptures throughout the gardens.  It is one of the nations largest collections.

To tour the gardens you will need to take one of the guided tours whether on foot or on board a covered, motorized carriage.  Each garden has its own personality and mood and will transport you into a world away from where you have been.

Tours are offered each Tuesday through Friday throughout the year. Tours range in length from 1.5 hours to 5 hours.

All tours are guided and suitable for children 13 and older. Children younger than 13 will enjoy one of our “Under the Rainbow” Children’s Garden Family Tours. Family tours must be pre-arranged.

Reservations are highly recommended; however, they are happy to accommodate drop-in guests on a space-available basis.

Na ‘?ina Kai’s Orchid House Visitor Center and Gift Shop is open each Monday from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m.; Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.; and Fridays 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. Na ‘?ina Kai is closed to the public on weekends and holidays.
