Kapila Gardens, Honopou Maui

On the north shore of Maui there is a region known as Honopou. The ample rainfall and warm climate are ideal for growing tropical plants and trees. The area was once populated with thousands of Hawaiians, who cultivated taro and sweet potatoes, and lived off the land. Nowadays it's populated with many types of newcomers, along with kama'aina families who have lived here for generations.

The coastline is rugged with cliffs and rocky beaches giving way to forested mountain slopes. Years of weather have eroded some steep gulches and valleys, now filled with myriad varieties of plants, side by side with endemic species. Ocean and mountain views can be enjoyed at every turn.

KAPILA GARDENS is a significant location in the Honopou district. Once the site of King Kalakaua's taro patches and paolimas, the property is a historical site and a botanical delight, lush with mango trees, ginger plants and ferns. Honopou Stream permanently flows nearby, with many natural pools and waterfalls.
