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. |
