Halloween

This is the only place in Hawaii where the thousands of plants seem to come to life (or after-life) in a giant maze after dusk the Saturday night before All Hallows Eve! Not only that, but spirits in the shadows of Mauna Kea spring from out of nowhere in the maze which is the size of a football field.

The shadows take to the maze on this mystical and magical night. It is truly a special and frightening place. Won’t you come and enjoy the best fright of your year?

From Kona or Waikoloa:
Take Highway 19 to Waimea and go toward Hilo on Highway 19. We are about 10 minutes beyond the Laupahoehoe Train Museum which is at mile marker 25. After the 17 mile marker, you will come to a bridge over the Umauma Gulch. Look for our sign that will be on the hillside on the right side of the road just past the bridge. Slow down as you go up hill past the bridge as the right turn is partly hidden and easy to miss. Turn right at Leopolino Road, the first paved road past the bridge, then right again in a block at the next paved road (Old Mamalahoa Highway) to reach the gardens.

From Hilo:
Take Highway 19 toward Waimea and Kona. You will see a pedestrian overpass at the 15 mile marker, then a long bridge over a gulch a short time later. At the top of the hill, just past the 16 mile marker, turn left at the paved Leopolino Road, then right after a block at the next paved road (Old Mamalahoa Highway) to reach the gardens. You may also see our Hawaiian warrior tourist spot sign on the right side of Highway 19 at the turn.

If you are paying cash the day of the event, time slots are limited on a space available basis and we may not have any availability based on past experience. Check in and pay at the guest center and wait for your time slot if any are available.

Weather can be unpredictable in Hawaii, but the gardens will be open except in cases of severe weather. Bringing rain gear is a good idea, but ponchos are available in our guest services center.

Please review up-to-date weather conditions for Hakalau, however the weather forecast here often shows up raining even though it rarely rains below a 50% chance of rain. Rains falls at night 70% of the time.
