Fantastic gardens and tropical scenery. Would recommend! We met the lady who owns the property and she let us look around ( usually $10 just to keep in mind) but I'd easily spend this as there were some key highlights: 1) Plants and nature you haven't seen before - a true tropical paradise not something just labelled that as it has tropics inside. 2) Hot sulfur infused water coming from the volcanoes. 3) A lovely unexpected suprise at the very bottom of the "garden" I won't spoil it but you might bring swim shorts! Definitely worth the $10 and adding to your holiday itinerary!

A lovely garden with its own large waterfall, seating areas, and a small hot tub. It's nice to spend an hour there, but it needs updating. It's not exactly a faded gem.
