6. Na ‘Âina Kai Botanical Gardens

KILAUEA.   Part botanical gardens, part sculpture collection, and part wildlife habitat, Na ‘Âina Kai offers visitors all the delights of a tropical paradise. Almost 250 acres include arbors, coastline, meadows, a hedge maze, topiaries, a hardwood plantation, a Japanese teahouse, over 70 bronze sculptures, and plenty of free-roaming fauna. A special kids' area features playground equipment and a tree house. Booking a tour in advance is wise, given the limited opening hours.   (© 10Best)

See vanilla vines tangle near chocolate trees while exploring the gardens. Learn about Hawaii's history at the Hawaiian Ahupua'a, complete with bronze statues of people carrying out the routines of everyday life as it was around the 13th century. Guests must be on a guided tour to see gardens. (from Sunset)
