Garden of the Sleeping Giant

More than a garden, this must-see spot is an absolute botanic bonanza. Abloom with more than 2000 varieties of orchids, plus indigenous flora and other tropical beauties, the 20-hectare plantation makes for a gorgeous getaway. Peak flowering seasons are June to July and November to December, but expect a brilliant display year-round. Tours are included in the entrance fee, or go on a solo meander along the jungle boardwalk.
