About Allerton Garden

Allerton Garden sits in the Lāwaʻi Valley on Kauai's south shore, near Lāwaʻi Bay. Robert Allerton and John Gregg Allerton originally created the landscape, which covers about 80 acres and is one of five gardens run by the National Tropical Botanical Garden. The site honors Queen Emma, who found comfort there. Visits are arranged as guided tours, and guests are carried from the Visitor Center into the garden by shuttle. Options include a standard guided tour, a combined tour with McBryde Garden, a private tour, a twilight tour, and a sunset tour with dinner.
