To see the Allerton Gardens, you must take a tour which costs around $40 per person and lasts about 2 hours. You'll understand once you see it why you can't do a self guided tour. The approach is worh seeing and getting explanations on for its own sake and the more formal gardens themselves have so many plants to see... more

This tour was recommended in a Kauai guidebook, and I'm so glad we listened! We're not necessarily people who would normally sign up for a garden tour, but this one was exceptional. The tram ride was fun and our tour guide, David, was so laid back that he added to the serenity of the location. The garden itself is a... more

We went with a group of 8 family members. I wasn't sure whether the kids would like the tour, but they loved it. The scenery was varied - most of it jaw-droppingly beautiful. We loved the tram ride and the walk through the "jungle" part, and of course, the "rooms." Our guide, Nate, was terrific. This was a different kind... more

We went to Hawaii with family and one thing everyone wanted to do was the botanical garden..... except me!!! I wasn't too keen on looking at plants! I'm so glad I did it though. It was a great time and very informative. Our tour guide was great and was such a wealth of information. The garden is really fantastic, you... more

With all the glowing reviews and comments we had heard beforehand, our expectations might have been too high. The garden is beautiful and the guided tour lasts a full two and a half hours, but it seems that the other reviewers got more "interesting stories" than we did. The guide we had was speaking in a low, not very lively... more

You can do a free walking tour on Mother's Day yearly, which we did, but when we returned to Kauai, we took the $30 guided tour and it was well worth it! Our guide, Gary, was very knowledgeable and funny--and I'd go so far as to recommend getting him as your guide, if possible. Spectacular place on a spectacular island....especially... more

This is one gorgeous place! We saw all kinds of flowers and trees, they have fountains, and a couple of small waterfalls. Our tour guide was a little soft spoken and I had trouble hearing him on the trolley. Once we got off the trolley and started the walking tour, I was usually lagging behind anyway, taking photos. You get... more

I toured the Allerton Gardens last week and our tour guide, John, was very knowledgeable, personable and a good cheerleader for NTBG. The gardens are beautiful, and the history of the gardens was fascinating. I am not a botanist but the information provided was geared towards the interested lay person and I wished the 2 1/2 hour tour had been... more
