If you're into train rides a must do. I and my husband loved the ride. Informative guide. Someone in another review mentioned a farmer's market. They do plan to do that in a few months according to the guide. I loved the fact that they are planting endemic trees on their land to try to support local species for the... more

Luckily, we could catch the last train of Plantation railway. I enjoyed the ride. I was happy to have time to feed wild pigs (babies were so cute.), goat and sheep. more

I've lived on Kauai for 20 years and was very impressed with the kilohana experience. I am ashamed I havn't visited earlier! The house is beautiful and the shopping is superb, there is even shops upstairs that are the hidden treasures of the house. The grounds are well maintained and the clydesdales out front are very cool. You have to... more
