  OVERVIEW  
     
  Nani Mau Gardens showcases 53 acres of gorgeous tropical flowers and plants. "Nani Mau" which translates as "forever beautiful" in Hawaiian is a perfect name for this beautiful garden that first opened to the public in 1972. Featuring 20 acres of artistically landscaped displays of native and exotic tropical flowers and plants, a spectacular orchid garden, rare palms and tropical fruit orchards, a visit to Nani Mau is a favorite of both visitors and residents alike. While visiting their beautiful gardens, their guests can also enjoy a delicious Island Buffet lunch at our garden restaurant and visit their gift shop featuring exclusive Nani Mau gifts and souvenirs.

Whether strolling through the gardens or riding Nani Mau garden tram, visitors are serenaded by tropical birds and soothed by exotic fragrances and while viewing the spectacular island flowers and foliage. This tranquil garden provides a peaceful, rejuvenating sanctuary  for both visitors and residents to enjoy the wonders of Hawaii natural beauty. Nani Mau's self-guided tour or narrated tram tour is an enlightening educational experience which provides visitors with information about Hawaiian history and culture focusing on the traditional Hawaiian use of the various tropical flowers and plants. Nani Mau's 30 minutes tram tour is a great way for young and old alike to explore this tropical paradise.
