A local treasure under the shadow of the real BALI HAI! Lead yourself through the historical lands of ancient Hawaiians and learn a ton about the plants that they relied on to survive. There are plants here that you won’t find anywhere else and are on the verge of extinction. They provide a wonderful guide book as well as great signs to help you learn about the garden and it’s history. Since we live on Oahu, we were treated to free attendance otherwise you have to make a reservation.

My husband, daughter, brother and I visited the Hanalei Day Spa and met Darci and her talented massage therapists, Jorge and Jessica. We all enjoyed our massages and I also got treated to a body wrap and hot oil scalp treatment. The spa is small and very peaceful and welcoming. We fully recommend spending a relaxing afternoon getting completely pampered.
