Hawaii’s Historic Homes & Tropical Gardens Program #2794 | Oahu, Maui, Kauai, Hawaii |13 nights **We're sorry, this program is not currently being offered** Join us in a rare opportunity to explore some of Hawaii's unique gardens and historic homes on the islands of Oahu, Kauai, Maui and the Big Island of Hawaii (Hilo and Kona). Visit gardens featuring indigenous and exotic tropical plants. Walk through homes with a variety of architectural styles: the only U.S. royal residences, missionary-style homes, historic estates and plantation homes. Integrate art, nature and history as you encounter breathtaking natural landscapes and island-style influences on Hawaii's homes, gardens and parks. Discover how Hawaii's remote location, tropical climate, diverse climatic zones, culture and history create a unique setting for these homes and gardens unduplicated elsewhere. Peek into private homes and gardens, wander the National Tropical Botanical Garden, visit the Smart and Shipman Estates, tour Iolani Palace and Queen Emma's Summer Palace, and explore national and state parks including Waimea Canyon, Iao Valley and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
