Aloha and Welcome to
Paleaku Gardens Peace Sanctuary

“I highly recommend visiting Paleaku Gardens Peace Sanctuary as one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I have seen in my many visits to the Big Island.” – Cindy

“This is my favorite place on the whole island. It’s super peaceful and incredibly beautiful. It is a great place to just sit and breathe. The garden hosts representation of many statues and icons from various faith beliefs. It’s very educational and the galaxy garden is quite remarkable. Little kids love playing hide and seek in it. I especially love the newest addition, the butterfly garden. The views throughout the garden are fabulous and they also have their own lava tube which you can view.” – Diane

“Beautiful, peaceful, everything you expect from a Gardens Peace Sanctuary! Worth the stop, good place to slow down and embrace island time! ” – Dan

“Amazing place, definitely deserves a visit or two while on Big Island. Plan on losing track of time exploring the Galaxy Garden with all the abundance of hibiscus and other tropical flowers and plants!” – Lillya

“Lovely peaceful immersive experience in nature surrounded by so much abundance. Pretty sure we were the only ones there on a Tuesday early afternoon. Self guided tour maps perfect for the kids. We had two hours of fun and learning about different religions, so plants and fruits. If you wish to meditate in a peaceful place this is the place to see the beautify of Kona.” – Gabrielle

“This is a beautiful, well maintained garden. It was pleasant walking around, and plants and scenery are very nice. It’s worth stopping by if you are in the area” – Diane

“A luscious and relaxing garden with something for adults and children. Easy to access for people with reduced mobility, mostly wheelchair friendly. The garden has several vistas and “rooms” with different focus there’s a mandala room för contemplating. A galaxy garden modeled after Milky Way. Several Buddhist stupas and rock labyrinths invites to meditation. We easily spend a few hours here smelling the flowers and enjoying the shade.” – Joacim

“Definitely recommend checking out the butterfly garden. Beautiful! Thank you for the peace and harmony.” – Rachel

“This is such a beautiful and creatively designed place. It requires paid admission and is very worth it. Throughout the complex, there are so many varieties of plant life with placards that identify the species and their origination, while many of them being intertwined within a unique display or format. It’s really fun learning about all the different tropical plants this way. There’s also interesting displays that portray most, if not all, of the religions from around the globe.” – Brian

“Lovely grounds, beautiful flowers and trees, many special displays celebrating different spiritual traditions. Benches and picnic tables available–we took in our lunch and enjoyed ourselves. ” – Jan
