Testimonials: Happy Visitors Who Have Enjoyed The Gardens!
A Must Do While On Maui!
We have explored 25 countries. The Kings Gardens & Waterfall Hike was the most captivating and "breath-taking" adventure that we had experienced in our many years of hiking. Our guide was fun & had a great knowledge of this sacred historical location. The terrain and rare plant life was extraordinary. We will book another hike every year as this is Maui’s most beautiful hidden jewel! A magnificent back country estate and one of the most sacred power spots of Maui! - Thank you to The Kings Gardens Maui!

Captivating, Spellbinding, Have Fun While Doing Good!
Visiting The Kings Gardens Maui & Waterfall Hike was by far the biggest highlights of our trip to Maui! Our naturalist was a pleasure to be with. This location is off the beaten path, a one of a kind original in the world really the best experience ever! We loved the seeing the secluded waterfall and remote wilderness, with botanical gardens and jungle was amazing! A mix of fern gully meets Jurassic park! We will definitely visit again when we have the opportunity.
The best part is that all funds go to charity, so we got to have fun while doing good and its a tax write off!

The Best Activity We did While on Maui!
You know that you have found a jewel of a tour when you find your self scrambling into wearing a rain poncho upon a sudden downpour during the tour, and you still rate it as being excellent! Our guide was wonderful very informative. Their knowledge of this magical Royal Hawaiian estate was truly impressive. The land is beautiful and private as well as pristine. The rainforest was epic and an exciting experience. Wish we had known about the Kings Gardens on all our other trips to Maui, But this will for sure from now on be a yearly pilgrimage for us. We were trilled to know our visit goes to help restore and preserve this beautiful location, as they say, do good while having fun!
