About Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden

Set on 400 acres in windward Oʻahu, this garden opened in 1982 in Kāneʻohe. Its plantings come from major tropical regions and are grouped geographically, covering areas such as the Philippines, Malaysia, Tropical America, Hawaii, Polynesia, and Africa. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers designed and built the garden to provide flood protection for Kāneʻohe. Visitors can drive through, walk to the lake, or take part in fishing, painting, camping, and other programs run by the garden.
