Full Itinerary & What to Expect
Step Back into the 19th Century at Eureka Mansion
Located in Moka, the iconic Eureka Colonial House is an engineering and architectural marvel of 109 doors. Stroll through antique-filled rooms, explore the sprawling botanical grounds, and take a short trek down to the river's rushing waterfalls.
