Geocache Description:

A small container at the National Tropical Botanic Garden Visitor Center in Kauai

The Gardens are open daily from 8:30am-5pm. GATES ARE CLOSED at other times (they may also be closed on holidays) . DO NOT search for the cache when they are closed. There is no fee to enter the garden area where the cache is located.

E-HIDE COMPLETELY and do not disturb any adjacent vegetation or features. WATCH FOR MUGGLES NEARBY!

Near Spouting Horn, at the meeting place for tours of the magnificent NTBG's Allerton and McBryde gardens. A companion to my Limahuli Lookout cache (GCA030) at the NTBG garden on the north shore of Kauai.

Access to the cache area is free. Nearby, you can take a tour of the McBryde ($30) or Allerton ($45) gardens (www.ntbg.org). Those prices aren't much compared to pupus, dinners and hotel rooms (or gas, even!), and tour revenues support the important work of protecting and expanding our knowledge of native and endemic plants of Hawaii.

The tram and 1-mile guided walking tour provides a lot of history, a bit of scandal and incredible views of Lawai beach and a very provocatively designed "outdoor rooms".

After you find the cache, browse the plantation house visitor center and the surrounding gardens.
