Quick Details
Explore the Hakalau Gardens on Your Own
Spend an unforgettable day in the lush gardens at Botanical World Adventures! With our self-guided tour, you can take in our beautiful gardens and surrounding trail at your leisure. Walk through our Garden Hedge Maze or stroll along the Rainforest Trail next to gently tumbling streams and waterfalls.
The lower 26 acres are groomed gardens for you to enjoy, and the Rain Forest Trail is a mild hike that progressively becomes more challenging.
From there, you can continue on to Kamaeʻe Falls, one of the most pristine waterfalls in Hawaii. See if you can spot the climbing fish making their way upstream. In the water, you can see some of the five types of native fish endemic to Hawaii!
Altogether, we have hundreds of acres of gardens, trails, and waterfalls to view. Panoramic views of paniolo fields, Mauna Kea, and the blue Pacific Ocean are coupled with areas that are completely enclosed by the rain forest canopy. In a word, it’s amazing! We look forward to your visit so you can experience this truly unique Hawaiian adventure.
Please note that garden hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
