Heidi was an excellent tour guide! The botanical gardens are gorgeous and we learned so much about every tree, plant and flower we saw. The chocolate tasting was also very fun and educational. Highly recommend this tour !!!

Troy did amazing job. It will not disappoint you if you go. Tasting chocolate was very good except they do not sell their chocolate in the farm. That is only disappointing. But everything else was amazing.

We live on island and this is our favorite Botanical Garden so far. We loved the small group, the easygoing pace, the fun and informative guides and the scenery is spectacular.

I am not big into botanical gardens but with all of the good reviews I booked a visit. I am so glad I did. There were so many beautiful flowers and plants. It was 100% humidity on the lower level but worth it. The walk was broken up by tasting fruit and even though I don't like most fruit, the small pieces tasted good. The 50 minute chocolate tasting in the middle was interesting and organized. There was also water to drink. Troy was interesting and patient with all questions but if you wanted to hear him you could not be towards the back of the group. We didn't have mosquitos on our visit. This turned out to be the best tour we booked while on the island.

My husband and I had a great time. Our guide was Troy, a very knowledgeable and interesting person. The gardens are beautiful and well worth walking around for three hours. My husband especially enjoyed the chocolate tasting part of the tour. Very good chocolate.

Liked leisurely pace. Guide mentioned that cart was available at one long hill on way back, but would have been better to have it there for elderly (2 women were having trouble.) Guide was exvellent, very informative about history, plants, and process of growing & processing cacoa.

We enjoyed our recent visit. Even though it was raining part of the time they were well prepared for us with extra umbrellas and walking canes. I noticed some people in our group were wearing flip flops despite the urging to wear closed toe shoes. I'm glad that I wore some better shoes because there were some areas that were slippery along the way. Our tour guide Troy was funny and very approachable. They limit the group size which I appreciated and we enjoyed learning about the different kinds of plants and fruit trees on the Property. We enjoyed small samples of fruit and also the chocolate tasting. I bought several of the the bars to take home and I plan to do another tasting with some of my co-workers when I get home. I would go again when I come back.

Our guide Lisa was super knowledgeable about all the flora and the chocolate making process. The garden was BEAUTIFUL! We saw so many plants, it was hard to take it all in. I would recommend this tour to anyone who has an interest in tropical plants, it was amazing. The chocolate was an added bonus.

This was my last activity in Kaua'i before going home, and I am so glad I left it till last, to end on a high note. The gardens itself were amazing, the food and chocolate tasting was even better, but the guide was the best part! My tour guide Sherry was so passionate and full of knowledge, which made the tour very worthwhile and so much more enjoyable. Could not have asked for a better guide and tour. Definitely a must visit
