Both the National Tropical Botanical Gardens and the Na 'Aina Kai Botanical Gardens & Sculpture Park are non-profit organizations.  These are not paid advertisements.  Enjoy visiting all the beautiful gardens on Kauai!  Allerton Gardens requires a credit card to secure reservations and you must call them directly. It is highly recommended that you make your reservations for the gardens in advance of your arrival.  Direct phone numbers are listed below for your convenience.  Again, you may inquire directly for the most current rate information because they may not update me on their current offerings as list listings are free of charge to all businesses and information on Garden tours and rates are subject to change without notice.
National Tropical Botanical Garden
Enter the gates of this once private estate and wind past cliff top views of a protected bay below. Stroll through outdoor "rooms," beside rippling pools and dramatic sculpture. Drink in the sights and sounds of fascinating plants, vibrant flowers and flowing water. See plants nearly extinct in the wild, thriving in the NTBG nursery.
