Else Kientzler Garden

This lush botanical garden is home to tropical plants from around the world.

About

Else Kientzler Garden showcases over 2,000 varieties of tropical plants from around the world in eleven distinct gardens spanning a total of seven hectares. Named in honor of Else, one of the founders of the Kientzler family’s global floriculture business, the gardens are a family oriented attraction, with nearly 40% of the 2 kilometer trail system wheelchair accessible, and a large playground to keep the little ones entertained. The plants here are both native and exotic, coming from as far away as Madagascar and Japan, and range from rare orchids to endangered hardwoods. In the organic orchard, you find Malay apples, mangoes, blackberries, and more. You are free to explore the gardens on your own, or, if you’d like to learn more about the various plants than what’s on the signs, you can also make advance arrangements for a guided tour.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions, here are the answers.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.

Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!

Each passenger is allowed one large bag (29" x 21" x 11" / 74 x 53 x 28 cm) and one small bag (22" x 14" x 9" / 56 x 36 x 23 cm). Luxury sedans can only accommodate 2 large bags. We always send the vehicle that is the best fit for you and your luggage, so make sure to select the actual amount of luggage you are traveling with when booking. If you have oversized luggage, or are unsure if your luggage will fit, contact us.

Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
