点评:I had very low expectations for this place after all these bad reviews here but I wanted to see some Macadamia Nut trees and decided to visit here despite all the low ratings...
First of all the drive here from the main highway to the facility is a gem in itself - you pass by soooooo many Macadamia Nut trees and it looks like one huge orchard - so cool and super unique, even for a very unique Big Island! It never ceases to amaze me!
Then once we get to the facility, after recent facelift from what I read, the visit inside comprised of 3 things (all FREE!!!):
1. Gift shop - where you can also taste 4 different flavors/nuts - very pleasant colors, really liked it (no I don't care about the brand nor to be honest have bought their stuff ever before, and I liked other brands around the island better but still a great place)
2. You can watch a video - a bit corny one, but still educational (we are still laughing with my wife about the "main character" felt like you went back in time 100 years LOL)
3. You can walk around the gardens where different trees/plants are marked (or not/simply missing their tags) our favorite part - we found a Macadamia Nut that fell of the tree, broke it with a flip flop YES LOL, and then ate it "straight" from the tree - how cool is that! A dream come true for me :P
I think people are way too harsh about this place, it's free - I really don't get what is not to like here, and I like said even arriving here is pretty scenic!
翻译:看到这么多差评之后,我对这个地方的期望很低,但我想看看一些澳洲坚果树,所以尽管评分很低,我还是决定来这里看看……
首先,从主干道开车到设施本身就是一块瑰宝——你会经过很多澳洲坚果树,它看起来就像一个巨大的果园——非常酷,非常独特,即使对于一个非常独特的大岛来说也是如此!它总是让我惊叹不已!
然后,我们到达设施后,据我所知,设施最近进行了翻新,里面的参观包括 3 项(全部免费!!!):
1. 礼品店 - 您还可以品尝 4 种不同的口味/坚果 - 颜色非常宜人,真的很喜欢(不,我不在乎品牌,说实话,以前也没有买过他们的东西,我更喜欢岛上的其他品牌,但仍然是一个很棒的地方)
2. 您可以观看视频 - 有点老套,但仍然很有教育意义(我们仍然和妻子一起笑“主角”感觉就像你回到了 100 年前哈哈)
3. 您可以在花园里散步,那里有标记的不同树木/植物(或没有/只是缺少标签)我们最喜欢的部分 - 我们发现了一个从树上掉下来的澳洲坚果,用人字拖把它弄碎了,是的,哈哈,然后“直接”从树上吃掉它 - 这有多酷!对我来说梦想成真了 :P
我认为人们对这个地方太苛刻了,它是免费的 - 我真的不明白这里有什么不喜欢的,而且我喜欢说即使到达这里风景也很美!
