Walk through lava rock terraces built by Limahuli's early inhabitants and see the taro that still thrives there. Learn about the native plants of Hawai‘i, the plants brought to the islands by voyaging Polynesians, and the flowers and fruits introduced during Hawaii's plantation era. Find enchantment in legends of the Valley and the ancient rocks that watch over it.
Take away a love for the land and a sense of having stepped into the past.
