Tour the Garden

Allerton Garden Tours

Once a retreat of Hawaii's Queen Emma, the cliffs of the Lāwa`i Valley still cascade with her favorite deep-purple bougainvillea. Come delight your senses in this garden of beauty, a masterpiece of landscape design and a natural showcase for tropical plants. Behold the seemingly ancient Jurassic Park trees (Moreton Bay Figs). Stroll through outdoor “rooms,” beside rippling pools and dramatic sculpture. Drink in the sights and sounds of fascinating plants, vibrant flowers and flowing water. Taste the flavor of Europe blended with the spirit of Hawai‘i. You'll find a place filled with surprises.

Managed by the NTBG for the Allerton Gardens Trust.
