Attention, plant lovers—Kula Botanical Garden is an Upcountry must-see! Stroll through eight acres of colorful proteas, orchids, and native Hawaiian foliage, all while breathing in the refreshing mountain air. It’s conveniently close to Ali‘i Kula Lavender Farm, so why not make a day of it? They’re open daily from 9 to 4, and admission is $15. https://www.mauiinformationguide.com/kula-town.php | Maui Hawaii
