Senator Fong’s Plantation & Gardens is a 700 acre, tropical garden that’s family owned. The lush gardens can be found at the base of Ko’olau mountain range in Kahaluu, Oahu.
Hiram L. Fong was proud to be the first Asian American elected to the U.S. Senate. Mr. Fong purchased the 700 acre plantation back in 1950.
Senator Fong’s Plantation & Gardens receives over 100,000 visitors a year and one of the favorite activities to enjoy is the art of lei making.
