Garden of Eden Arboretum

The site itself is beautiful, with stunning views and an interesting art gallery shop, but our experience was somewhat disappointing. The $20 per person entry fee for a relatively short visit felt excessive, especially when compared to other similar stops along the road, which were just as scenic. The art gallery was nice, and I almost bought something, but then I remembered that I had paid $20 per person just to access it. We also had lunch, and the service was slow. The meals were not great, and to make matters worse, about a dozen peacocks were wandering around the tables, disrupting the entire atmosphere. These peacocks weren’t just curious; they were very persistent, getting up close to people’s feet and even stealing food. Their behavior was quite intrusive, and one person next to us commented to the staff that they were annoying. An employee then fed the peacocks, which made the situation worse, as they came back around the tables. They continued to roam around the customers, making the dining experience very uncomfortable. In the end, we ate our meals in the car. On my next trip to Maui, I’ll not stop at this place. It’s a shame because the location has potential, but improvements are needed to offer a more enjoyable experience for visitors.

It is absolutely worth the $20/person entry. It is so gorgeous out there. If you're a plant lover you could EASILY spend all day here. I've gone twice now and just recently took my mother, and she loved it. There is so much beauty packed into this place. Definitely make this a stop if you're in Maui.

It’s a beautiful place to see all different type of trees, but it’s a bit overpriced. They charge $20 per person which we felt was not worth it. They have ducks, peacocks, birds walking freely around the area. If you are doing the road to Hana, plan to spend about 45mns to an hour here.

Nice variety of indigenous plants, many of them having identification markers. Paths to walk and waterfall overlook. Several benches for resting along the way. Small cafe on-site. Worth the $15 per person entry fee .

Why does this place only have 4.3 stars?? It’s a must stop on our trip to Maui every time! This garden is absolutely gorgeous, and I see something I didn’t see the previous time every time I go! The ocean views from some of the look outs are incredible. I love Kauai and this feels like a little slice of Kauai’s gardens in Maui!

Very scenic view of the ocean. Perhaps the best view of the island. We spent quite some time here sand walked on most of trails. Quite pricy but worth it. Everywhere was clean and well taken care of.

My wife and I really enjoyed the Arboretum. The views of the ocean, waterfalls, and gardens were incredible. It was twenty dollars a person for entry and a credit card was accepted. There was plenty of parking inside and not many people there when we went. There is a small snack bar on scene with food and drink.

Great place to visit if you are doing the full road to Hana. They allow to be in till 5 pm if you enter by 4 pm. 45 minutes is good enough for the place. Central parking is all you need. Probably bit overpriced but a good checkbox item for Maui trip.
