Fares and Gardens
question
Hi Lisa, Just found your blog and it looks great. I am hoping you can help me with some ideas. I am planning on visiting several tropical gardens on different islands and would like some ideas about inter-island travel deals. I remember Aloha Air used to sell inter-island passes for a flat fee. Do any of the airlines, large or small or ferrys offer such a thing anymore? Have they built any long bridges since I have been there last? Any travel or garden recommendations? Thanks for your help.

OK so I read the Island Hopping posts and realize that the inexpensive inter Island thing is just a fantasy at this point, but do you have any suggestions for tropical gardens or museums to check out. Also interested in the Tiki culture, past and present.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply! I like those fares.
Which islands I will be going to will depend on the best choice of gardens to see. I definitely will be going to some of these.
The Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden near Hilo
The National Tropical Botanical Garden also on the big island
Kula Botonical Garden Maui
Kahanu Garden Maui
Tropical Gardens of Maui
I really enjoy the Heliconia's. I actually have been able to grow 4 different varieties at my place in Ventura Ca. :)
Anyway thanks for your help and if you can recommend any gardens or Islands to see that would be great! Also if you know of some places where some original Tiki carvings are that would be great too.

FYI, even though there are currently no interisland air coupons, there is a fare war going on right now because of this new airline: - both aloha and hawaiian are also doing the $39 one ways for certain flights.
Regarding the tropical gardens - which islands will you be going to?

Well, Maui and the Big Island are certainly two good choices for tropical gardens. On Maui don't forget the Garden of Eden, and on the big island consider the World Gardens at Umauma Falls and the Akaka Falls walk (fantastic, huge overgrown bamboo and other wild plants). I'm not a big garden person, so I think you already know more than I do.
As for the tiki carvings, just keep your eyes open as you drive around. I know of a couple of places that used to be off the Highway on the way from Hilo to Kau, but who knows if they are still there. Places like that move and disappear and crop up again, but always on a path where they can be seen. You may also be interested in this site http://www.spiritsculptor.com/
