Part of the National Tropical Botanical Garden System, Kahanu Gardens is filled with 123 acres of tropical plants including more than 120 varieties of 'ulu (breadfruit).

The site is also home to the Pi'ilanihale heiau, one of the largest ancient Hawaiian stone temples in the islands. Built over 500 years ago, the stone platform, 341 feet by 415 feet with a 50-foot high front wall, was a place of worship and is still intact. The "Canoe Garden" features 27 species of plants brought to Hawaii in the ancient Hawaiian's voyaging canoes.
