Visited the farm with my husband and 18/22 year old daughters. I love gardening but them, not so much. I was delighted that they thoroughly enjoyed the tour. No sales pitch, no targeted marketing, just the facts of what they do. Loved it. AND, it was FREE! We learned/heard about so much more than just Noni. It was a truly enjoyable few hours and we would do it again. My youngest has severe scalp psoriasis and we have tried so many things thru our dermatologist with no relief. So, when we saw the info on this condition we knew we would give it a try. After only 2 (YES 2) days of applying the Noni lotion to her affected areas, we could visibly see it diminishing. And, her mild acne is cleared. I am planning (with her permission) to post pics before/after once she has used it a while. Its only been 2 weeks of use to date. Mahalo Steve for sharing your passion and beautiful farm!

They have reopened their tours from COVID they do them once a week on Thursdays at 10 a.m. I found them on Tripadvisor on a Wednesday evening and emailed them at 10 p.m. for a party of two. Jude called me back at 8 a.m. the next morning and was able to squeeze us in. That's quick service! The tour started with a history of their pineapple farm and how they got into the business. It was interesting and I just LOVE Jude's sense of humor! She went on to explain how pineapples are farmed and grown; very informative and interesting info! After that, we got to plant a pineapple sucker into the ground, as well as harvest our own pineapple. The pineapples on this tour were pretty small but it was just the right size to take back to our hotel room. We then got to taste some fresh cut sugarloaf pineapples, which were sweet and tasty! We were given the pineapple phrosties at the end of the tour, which was also delicious. It's an interesting tour and my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

We enjoyed a brief stop at Kilauea Lighthouse, and appreciated the efforts being undertaken to support and nurture wildlife in the area. A haven for sea birds, including huge albatross, and red footed boobies, it’s also supposed to be a great place for sighting whales this time of year. (Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t great on our visit, so we didn’t have much chance to look before we were getting soaked, and the ocean was too rough to readily discern spouting from the many whitecaps and waves crashing the shore. A very reasonable $10 entry fee for adults, kids 15 and younger are free.

It was hard (for me) to find where to turn into the gardens, but once we embarked on our tour it was well worth the effort. Informative and engaging tour guide, loved the fact that the property is self-sustaining, and we all appreciated the abundant, life-like bronze sculptures by a wide variety of artists. Highly recommend.

Go on a tour with Captain Andy or other providers and be amazed by what you will see. Depending on the time of your visit you might be entertained by jumping whales close enough to your embarkation for fantastic photos.

One of our favorite days in Kauai - what a great tour. We loved meeting the goats (including a couple of baby goats), learning about all the fruit trees (and trying some samples!) and the cheese-making process, and - especially - getting to taste all the varieties of cheese. What a lovely family farm!

The Wai Koa Loop Trail accessed from the mini golf course on the north shore of Kauai is a must activity while visiting Kauai. Check in at the mini golf desk. There is no charge for this adventure and it is self-guided. Be sure to bring water, wear comfortable walking shoes and a hat is nice. Put on the sun tan lotion and proceed down the trail. A walk through the largest mahogany forest in North America is how your walk begins. There are various sites along the way. The suprise at the half way point is a gorgeous stone dam. There is ample space to sit and soak in the view. Then you walk back to the starting point. Easily a half day adventure if you go at a leisurely pace but you can complete the walk in two hours if walking briskly.

Gorgeous beach, relaxing waves, ugly ghost crabs, pretty reefs. Loved it. Standing in the exact area where the SS MINNOW was beached, also the day JFK was shot, was chilling. Try to imagine the pilot was shot here before there was any real estate, with different actors playing GINGER, MARY ANN and the PROFESSOR. You can see this beach in the unaired pilot MAROONED. Also in the first episode TWO ON A RAFT.
10. Wai Koa Loop
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 150 reviews
The Wai Koa Loop Trail is a great safe 4.5 mile hiking trail on the beautiful North Shore of Kauai. You can access this hike at Anaina Hou Community Park in Kilauea. The hike is free but is on private property, so please stop in at Anaina Hou to sign a waiver, pick up a map, and purchase water, sunblock, lunch or ono snacks to take with you on this fun-filled adventure! On the hike, you’ll pass through the Kilauea Forest and then the largest mahogany plantation in North America. Then, the trail opens up and you’ll enjoy impressive views of the Namahana Mountains. The top of this loop trail takes you to the must-see historic Stone Dam (closed for renovations). It was built in the 1880’s to support the Kilauea Sugarcane Plantation and is a great place for a picnic or to enjoy a swim. The Trail is open to the public from 8:00 am to dusk and takes between 2.5 to 4 hours. A waver must be on file at Anaina Hou before you enjoy the Trail.

been here 7 times prior, since the mid ‘90’s. best advise: start early, around 10am. the reason i mention this is that parts of the trail is sunny n very hot. don’t forget to check in at the mini golf place or the trail hut, if it is open. this is for liability reasons, due to the fact that the trail is on private farming property. you will see beautiful views of the mountains, horses, cattle, ponds, and of course farming structures. not for those who want a challenge. this is for a quiet, meditative walk (that one gets away from the ‘trail’ crowds”-just to put it....calming:) they did some diversions, which by the way, are well done, due to the flood of April 2018. the dam area is closed n being repaired but the “detour paths” are fine. what a delight to take a walk/stroll among 86,000 mahogany trees, the largest of these forests in the USA n one of the largest in the world. terrain is flat except for the first 10 minutes but very easy. i highly recommend the site:) PS make sure you have water with you, as it is a 4 mile hike n takes about 2 hrs-leisurely. i wouldn’t recommend flip-flops. ALOHA~
