KALAHEO — National Tropical Botanical Garden has launched a new tour at the McBryde Garden, allowing guests to visit a previously inaccessible area of the property.
The new Wailele (Waterfall) Tour explores a section of Lawa‘i Valley rife with unique jungle plants, as well as a hidden oasis and waterfall previously frequented by Queen Emma in the 1800s.
Guests will learn about the history of the valley from the home of Hawaiian royalty through the sugar-plantation days to its current status as a safe haven for exotic and endangered plants.
Afterwards guests will explore the Canoe Garden and learn which plants the ancient Polynesian voyagers brought with them when they settled Hawaii.
