“a tropical jewel”
Cradled between the Wai‘anae and Ko‘olau mountain ranges in central O‘ahu lies Wahiawā Botanical Garden – the “tropical jewel” of the Honolulu Botanical Gardens.
This 27-acre garden and forested ravine dates back to the 1930s when this land was used by sugar planters as an experimental arboretum. Your tour will take you among plants that thrive in the cooler upland environment and shady humid habitat of this tropical rainforest.
Highlights: Native Hawaiian plants, Aroid collection, Tree ferns, and Epiphytic plants.
