“What an amazing place to visit. Tucked away in the hills above Hilo, a visit is 100% worth a booking. Be ready to meet the most charming hosts, a mad black kitten, and a stunning garden that goes on, and on, and on; each garden room more marvelous than the last. Stayed two hours, could have stayed all day. Thank you, Irene and Lars, for opening my eyes to some extraordinary beauty.”

“Like walking into Paradise. Then once into the heart of the tropical landscape, you really don’t want to leave. It is absolutely beautiful everywhere you look. Perfect backdrops for wedding ceremonies for sure. You must take the tour of this wonderful Palm Garden and take in all to be seen with beautiful plants and water features. You most definitely will not be disappointed!”

“La Casa De Las Palmas is a phenomenal botanical garden of palms and tropical plants collected from around the world. This really unique slice of heaven is located near Hilo on Hawaii Island. The garden design is so special you simply have to go see this garden with its streams, waterfalls, stone bridge and pathways through exotic plants and the most spectacular display of palm trees. I went on a tour with the Hawaii Island Palm Society and I’ve been on a private tour, and both were incredible.”

“House of the Palms is an incredible, blow your mind kind of garden. Stunning landscape, water features, well worth a visit if you’re in the Hilo area. Lars and Irene are incredible gracious hosts, and Irene bakes the BEST snacks and treats the end of the tour too!!”

“We toured the House of Palms in February, 2023 and were blown away by the gardens. We also had an amazing lunch. Irene and her husband were gracious hosts, and very knowledgeable about palms as well as the myriad of other plants in the gardens. We had 32 garden enthusiasts with us and they all loved it. A hidden treasure for sure. It was also impressive how much work they do to keep the gardens in such pristine conditions! I highly recommend this garden.”
