Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden

Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden is a true oasis of peace in Hawaii. This sprawling botanical garden, whose name means 'place of peace,' offers an extraordinary nature experience.

Organized by geographic region, it showcases plants from Africa, Asia, Polynesia and the Americas. Picturesque artificial lakes and the Loko Waimaluhia Reservoir create a fairy-tale setting, ideal for strolling and contemplating nature.

It's also a bird lover's paradise - you can spot northern cardinals and bright Javanese finches, among others. There are botanical drawing and meditation classes in the garden for artists.
