Limahuli Garden and Preserve

The Makana Mountain ridge looms behind, and the Limahuli Stream includes an 800-foot (240 m) waterfall[1] on its descent from the valley's high end at 3,330 feet (1,010 m) to sea level just below the garden.

[3] The garden contains a wide range of native and Polynesian-introduced plants, including kukui (Aleurites moluccana), banana, breadfruit, alula (Brighamia insignis), Paper Mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera), papala (Charpentiera elliptica), kī (Cordyline fruticosa), turmeric (Curcuma domestica), hāhā (Cyanea hardyi), lama (Diospyros sandwicensis), vegetable fern (Diplazium esculentum), ginger, hau kuahiwi (Hibiscadelphus distans), hibiscus including kokiʻo keʻokeʻo (Hibiscus waimeae), kava, koa (Acacia koa), nehe (Lipochaeta succulenta), ʻōhiʻa lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha), pokulakalaka (Munroidendron racemosum), kului (Nototrichium divaricatum), hala (Pandanus tectorius), pāpala kēpau (Pisonia wagneriana), plumeria, loʻulu (Pritchardia limahuliensis), sugarcane, taro, and iliau (Wilkesia gymnoxiphium).

It includes taro terraces (loʻi kalo) that date back to early Polynesian arrivals on the island.

[6] In 2007, it received the top "Keep It Hawaiʻi" award from the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority for its support of the Hawaiian culture, protection and development of Hawaiian knowledge by preservation of natural resources through research, hands-on work, and educational opportunities.

[8] It is inland from the Haʻena State Park and Keʻe beach off of Route 560 (near its western end) at 22°13′13″N 159°34′33″W / 22.22028°N 159.57583°W / 22.22028; -159.57583.
